Troy loved being a Dad, most important to him was his time spent with Trey. Trey was Troy’s pride and joy. Troy took the time to teach him life skills, if it be manners, how to ride his motor bike and quad, to change the oil in “Dad’s” truck or tie a fish hook on to his rod. Troy adored his family and friends and spent every moment sharing life, love and laughs with them. Troy’s passion was music, whether it be jamming with the boys, singing or dancing. He also enjoyed sledding, quadding, camping and the great outdoors. Troy loved his work especially if it was challenging. Troy lived life with enthusiasm and never wanted to miss a moment. He will be remembered for his happy go lucky personality and love of life.
