On September 13, 1992, Troy merged his fate with that of his beloved Michelle Slagle, embracing the bond of marriage in their hometown of Bryan, OH. Music flowed through Troy’s blood, kindling his spirit. Troy’s passion complemented his involvement in worship teams nicely. He was a master of numerous instruments, including trumpet, piano, bass guitar, and drums.
Among the notes of life, Troy choreographed joy by playing “Name that Tune,” enthralling friends and family with his offbeat clues. Aside from the music, Troy and Michelle gave their hearts to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Indiana, offering love and wisdom to Austin and Shawnna.
