Troy was one of the nicest people I'd ever met and I'm saddened to learn of his passing. He always went over and beyond for our school to design shirts that our teachers and students would love. And even though our school is about 45 minutes from Baton Rouge, he refused to ever let us come to him to pick them up. He also brought the T-shirts to us. We will miss Troy. He was such a nice, energetic and "go out of his way to help" type of person. Prayers for his family through this time.
