Troy God saw you getting tired and a cure was not meant to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered 'Come To Me'. With tearful eyes we watched you as we saw you pass away. Although we loved you deeply, Your Golden heart stopped beating. We will miss you deeply. With loving memories Libby and Harvey Hill

Sylvia and Troy, Our hearts are broken with the passing of big Troy. Troy always had a smile on his face even during his most difficult times. He lived life to the fullest and always had new and interesting stories to tell! He enjoyed telling hunting and fishing stories about when little Troy was young. Sylvia, you and Troy did a wonderful job developing little Troy into a wonderful man who we are proud to call our Son-in-Law! Our lives were bettered for having known big Troy! May God bless his soul, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May God bless you Sylvia and little Troy and may he watch over you both. Mickey and Debbie

Troy will be missed by all that knew him, his sense of humor and "words of wisdom" will not be forgotten. He truly was a good man. He left me some special memories, like the night he got his new game caller and decided I should go with him to try it out, it ended up being a typical "adventure with Troy" that we had, or when the four of us went to his deer camp, the look on Toni's face when she saw the trailer she thought she was staying in always made us laugh when it was mentioned ( as did the red bugs ) Toni and I truly love you.
