This is a space for us to come together to remember Troy. A space to grieve together, to support one another, to share in memories and love, and to talk about who Troy was and the research he was so passionate about.

Welcome!
So many great stories about Troy's life were shared at the memorial service this weekend, and the abundant love for Troy that we all shared was beautiful. Let's keep sharing those stories!
Melody and I Love you so much. God wants you to know Troy is alright, I saw him hanging on the gates of heaven playing as a little child would, he was full of joy and laughter you could see it is his face. in John 14:2-3 Jesus said: I go to prepare a place for you and if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am there you may be also. the place Jesus prepared for Troy was ready so Jesus took him home to be with Him.
My friend Troy told it as he saw it...and he would research & prove what he saw. I saw him begin to turn a corner to break free and a desire within him to share the love he saw was growing. He wanted to break free. The world is at a loss without him. In our memories he will live, in our realizing of truth he will continue to be.
"I was remembering Troy's smile today. It was like none other and it warmed my heart. I loved how much of a goof ball he was and he always made everyone around him laugh and smile. I will always love him and he will be forever missed. He left us too soon. I love you Auntie and will hug you so tight when I see you next."
Tori, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. No words I know I could say to comfort you but to know I have been praying for you and your family. I believe with all my heart your son is in Heaven with the Lord and he is not in pain. You are amazing woman, mother and grandmother and everyone around you including him knew this. May the Lord embrace and comfort you during this difficult time. If you need anything let me know. Blessings, Kelly
Missing you terribly today as I have for the last 12 days and actually the last couple years. I was excited for the enlightenment you recently had. I was excited that you wanted to talk more about God, his plan, and our purpose in this life. I wished we could have done that. But now you are free and for that I am thankful to our sovereign creator See you soon
Thinking of you today, Troy. I wish you were still here, and I could give you a big hug and tell you how much I love you. You were such a bright star here on earth, and I love the way you could make everyone around you happy and care-free. I have been listening to your music this week and I can't believe the talent you had; I wish I would have known that while you were still here. We could have had a "living room dance party" together! :)
Tori, Nicole, Marisa & Victoria- I think of you many times a day and pray that God will give you comfort and peace. Please know that I love you and we will always remember Troy. His memory will forever live on in our lives.
When a young person leaves us too soon, it never feels fair. Troy is lucky though. He now gets to sit at the feet of Abba. We may speak of lost potential, but everything I have seen and heard over the last week or so tells me different. I feel that God excercised Troy's amazing potential at one moment. The ability to bring many hearts together, the ability to remind us to celebrate and appreciate each other, and the ability bring our focus back to the Lord. What amazing feats for such a young man. I am proud to be kin to him, and look forward to catching up on the years I missed in the promised land.
Girls, I love you all. Celebrate and be anxious for our turn. See you when I get home.
Troy had a certain softness and sweetness about him. You could tell right away that he truly possessed a tender heart and sincere kindness. I know that he is now in a better place with our kind Lord and is free from all the bondage's of this life. My heart goes out to all of my family suffering from the pain of this loss. We love you Troy and know that you will be missed greatly by many. Love from a cousin.
Troy: the only person I know that uses the stairs as a dining room table. I can still see you sitting there and miss having to walk around you to get up the stairs.
<3 Troy <3 My friend Sara who is very familiar with loss gave me this idea, that whenever you are thinking of the person who is passed on you can put hearts around their name and share it with their "survivors" <3 Troy <3 Thanks Sara
It was good to be at Compassionate Friends meeting tonight. Everyone was saying how handsome Troy is and one lady said that she could just keep looking at his face. I can too.
Son, Today it has been a calendar month since you left us. I feel like it has already been an eternity. It seems like the numbness is wearing off and it is feeling more real. I hate this! I don't know how to do this! I want you back...Please don't be gone Son...Please come back... Whether you are standing before me or not you are with me, wherever I am. Every breath I take I think of you. I Love you always and forever Troy.
Troyskerdoo, you are in our thoughts often-even constant. Regrets we have of our time with you are the catalist causing change and growth. You'd be amazed at the effect you had and are having on your friends and family. Your missed, and loved, always alive in our hearts. Peace
Troy, I just found out that your friend Evan left us Saturday. Maybe you guys are snowboarding again without the worry of any broken femurs :) Your beautiful smile and contagious spirit will be missed Evan, you are loved...
Linda Czubaszeski, Troy's cousin/Aunt, my very dear friend said she had a dream a few weeks ago but didn't know if I was ready to hear it. She writes...I saw Troy laying on a picnic table looking up at the sky. I walked over to him, his hair was cut like when he was young, still black but it was powdery or sparkly. I said something about his hair looking different and he just smiled like he was so happy. That's all I remember. I woke up thinking he was an angel. I never remember dreams, but I did this one. It gave me peace, I hope it does you...
Cale McCollough: I was Troy's best friend for many years up until his death. I really love you Troy. I look at your picture every day and I cry about your passing a lot. David (my son) really misses you too. I don't have the heart to tell him that your gone. He always asks to see you and if he can play in your room(which is actually his room but Troy slept in there a lot). It sucks that you won't get to see him grow up. I will always miss you. Were planning a Remembrance event on the full moon before your birthday... I know you'll be there. We can howl at the moon together :-)
Miss you so much brother. Hope you know your family in The ThoughtShop will always love you. The tribe will be bringing in the progressive sounds you loved so much in the upcoming year. Just wish you were behind the decks to lead the way. Enjoy the next frequency and aloha.
Merry Christmas Brother! Christmas this year was hard to get through.. I know you loved opening presents, you were always super gitty and anxious to open them all. This year I probably would have gotten you all practical gifts, like new razors, a lint brush (cuz you were always using mine), and maybe a beatport gift card (to get music to mix) or movie tickets. But instead, I put that money into the recovery fund to try to give someone else a shot at getting clean. I know you had a far better Christmas with everything you ever wanted right at your finger tips and the most important of them all - God's love. I feel right now that it's going to be so long before I see you again, but I'm trying to hold on and live out my purpose here first. Keep showing us your love brother <3 With all my love, Nicole
“In matters that are so obscure and far beyond our vision, we find in Holy Scripture passages which can be interpreted in very different ways without prejudice to the faith we have received. In such cases, we should not rush in headlong and so firmly take our stand on one side that, if further progress in search for truth justly undermines this position, we too fall with it.” - St. Augustine
I want to hug him so bad! I want to reach in to kiss his cheek and have him try to hid his face and act like he doesn't like his sissy kisses xoxoxoxoxo Troy xoxoxoxoxo
Troy!!! I miss you terribly. I think about you quite often and you are always in my heart. My heart was warmed when I thought about rainbows. Rainbows are made up of water and light reflecting back at the perfect angle. Troy, you are a natural phenomenon! I love you!!!
Every time I see a rainbow now I can't help but think of Troy and how the colored sand at the memorial represented all of the wonderful things he was.
ReplyDeleteI love and miss you Troy!
