Troy Merkle Memorial

Troy Merkle, the precious and dear child of Brad & Jen Merkle, was taken too soon from this earth on October 27th, 2017.  Brad is a technician here at Hotchkiss Auto Repair and been with us for over 2 years now. Troy was about 18 months old and had been struggling for a long time with health issues, in and out of the hospital ever since he was born. Though his time with us was all but too short, while he was here he brought so much love, life and laughter into the lives of anyone who knew him. He was no ordinary little boy, he was a fighter till the end and surpassed all expectations. We cannot describe or even begin to understand what it's like to lose a child and the feelings and emotions that go through your mind.  No amount of money can ever make up for the loss of a child or family member, but we all know the expenses that come along with a tragedy like this can be extreme. All we ask is for everyone to come together and open up their hearts to help support the Merkle's in whatever way you can in this time of need. Anything is appreciated.
