Troy Mann Obituary
A celebration of life service is pending.
Troy was retired from demolition work. He was a hard-working man with a kind and honest heart. He loved his family and friends and always had an outstretched hand for anyone in need. He enjoyed carpentry work, building his motorcycle, and watching westerns. He turned trash to treasures and never had a lot, but actually had everything.
Troy is survived by two daughters, Loretta Burkhead and Jeanne Mann; nine grandchildren, Brittany, Christina, Gavin, Chloe, Ethan, Justice, Jacob, Dustin and Rose; three great grandchildren, Svayah, Lila-Marie, and Elijah Rayne; one sister, Linda; and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Leon and Donna Mann; daughter, Jennifer Roberts; grandson, Jesse Roberts; and two sisters, Debbie Mann and Donna Mann.
Arrangements were entrusted to Aikins-Farmer-Loftus-McManus Funeral Home in Metropolis. Online condolences may be left for the family at www.aikinsfarmer-millerfh.com.
Memorial contributions may be given to Aikins-Farmer-Loftus-McManus Funeral Home via Troy's obituary website or P.O. Box 760 Metropolis, IL 62960 to help the family with funeral expenses.
Miss Me But Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free!
Miss me a little, but not too long, and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared, miss me but let me go.
For this journey we all must take, and each must go alone.
It's all part of the Master plan, a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart, go to the friends we know
and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss me, but let me go.
