To Troy's family, my early years are full of good memories growing up together with Troy, seems like yesterday. Playing Hockey on the pond, taking turns riding laps around the house on the dirt bike, many more. I hope sharing these memories will ease your pain.

Ruth, we're so very sorry to hear of Troy's passing. We didn't really know him as an adult, but remember him fondly as a mischievous, fun-loving kid and a joy to be around. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Ruth, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Troy. Certainly the loss of a child must be very hard, even when there is a serious illness involved. I read where he was a big outdoors man. Obviously he followed in his parents footsteps.
Again Ruth, I am very sorry for your loss. May God Bless you. Bob McGregor

Kathy, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I never had the pleasure of meeting your husband, but from hearing how sweetly you spoke to and of him he was, most certainly, a wonderful man. May he rest in peace, as his earthly pain is no more, and may your love and memories bring you comfort and peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I grew up across the street from Troy, I will never forget the day I found him sitting on the curb and he told me he was "grounded for the rest of his life" :). May your memories bring you peace and comfort.

To the Pearson family, I knew Troy years ago while working at Lennox. I also helped wire the old farm house he bought outside of State Center. He was a great guy and we always loved to chat with each other. I'm so sorry for your loss, as I didn't know he was sick. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May he rest in peace.

Please accept my deepest condolences on Troy's passing. He is a patient I will never forget. Despite the obstacles he knew were facing him, he came with a smile on his face, fight in his gut, and love in his heart for his family. May his memory be a blessing.
