7 years later and I still think about him all the time…. Someone who had so much joy and did nothing but spread laughter to everyone! Everyone’s friend! Looking back now it kills me to realize all the signs were there.: he was good at hiding them but they really were clear as day that he wanted someone last help. Rest east Troy! Always will be missed love you brother. Wish I would have done something to prevent this….
