I know everyone has been saying the same thing.... Troy was one of the kindest, happiest, most helpful and giving personal...... everyone keeps saying it bc it is true! He just was a genuinely huge hearted caring individual. The world needs more just like him not to lose him. It's a sorrow that will be felt so deep by so many. My heart goes out to those close to him. This was him at my now 14 year Olds 2nd birthday party!
