Our family is experiencing a heartbreak we never could have imagined with the unexpected loss of our sweet Troy Boy.

Troy was truly one of a kind. He was the nicest, kindest soul I have ever known. If you were lucky enough to know him, you know exactly what I mean. He had the biggest heart, the most positive outlook on life, and a love for sports that brought him so much joy. He was such a sports fanatic — always cheering, always talking about the game, always full of excitement. That was our Troy Boy.

He was always smiling. Always. And he had that adorable little smirk that could brighten even the hardest day. Being around Troy just felt good. He made people feel welcome, valued, and loved. His spirit was gentle, caring, and genuine in a way that is so rare.

Our hearts are shattered, and we are going to miss him more than words could ever express.

During this incredibly difficult time, we are asking for help as we navigate the unexpected expenses of planning Troy’s funeral. His beautiful mother, Allyson, will also need to take time away from work over the next few weeks to grieve and to handle Troy’s affairs.

If you knew Troy, loved him, or care about our family — especially Allyson — we humbly ask you to consider donating anything you can. No amount is too small, and every single contribution means more than we can say. If you’re unable to give, your prayers, kind words, and sharing this page are just as appreciated.

Thank you for loving our Troy. Thank you for supporting our family. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts as we try to find our way through this unimaginable loss.

Our Troy Boy will forever be in our hearts.
