Troy Zakrzewski Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Lauer Family Funeral Home Affordable Cremation Solutions Jackson - Jackson on Feb. 16, 2026.
Troy was born on March 17, 1972, to John and Cherie Zakrzewski. He passed away at the age of 53 while under hospice care after many health complications. He is now at peace in heaven, in his cabin, with his last two dogs, Herbie and Chewy.

Troy was a happy child and a prankster. He loved his Star Wars collection, playing his guitar, and spending time with his family. He enjoyed music of all kinds, camping, fishing, walks in the woods, and visiting Hidden Lake Gardens. He worked at Seymour Ford for 18 years as a detailer and loved his job, often receiving many compliments on his work.

Troy was preceded in death by his grandparents, Raymond Bernard Zakrzewski, Mary Ann Ekin, Wilbur John Crandall, and Patricia Lou Philips, along with his uncle, Larry James Zakrzewski.

He is survived by his parents; his brothers, John (Teresa) and Steve (Debbie); his son and best friend, Troy William Zakrzewski; his grandson, Apollo Lee Zakrzewski; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Troy was especially excited when his son and grandson were born.

A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
