He will be greatly missed by all his family & friends, and no one will ever replace his love, kindness & his heart of gold to his wife, kids & grandkids. Everyone that knew him, knew how good a man he was, if you knew him you loved him. He lived a Christian life and did his best to be a great example for others, leading many people to Christ. He loved to pray for people whether you thought you needed prayer or not. His favorite scripture was. 2 Timothy 4;7-8 “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.” Troy is alive and well today with his savior and redeemer, Jesus Christ, and all that has gone before him. He made it home. We all have the opportunity to see him again, but it takes a sincere walk with Jesus Christ to get there. We can’t just say we are ready; we have to be ready.
