Harry, How truly sad to lose a child at such a young age. My deepest sympathy to both you and Troy's Mother and his extended family.

Troy...We'll catch up again someday Troy. Your time here was cut way too short but I know you're making people laugh where ever you are. I'll miss hearing you say "hey g, come in here (office)" because I knew a good youtube video was about to be shared. Its good to know we have the same sense of humor. You made work fun and I cant thank you enough for that. You have no idea, or maybe you do know, how much your missed. You're a special person and I'm glad we got to spend so many good times here at work. As you would always say...See you next Tuesday...g

I would like to express my sincere condolences to the family of Troy.
I know he will be missed dearly. May the God of all comfort,comfort you during this time with his promise to ressurect our loved ones some day. Know that I am thinking of your family an am keeping you in my prayers.

I grew up with Troy as family friends. Went on a lot of vacations with him, his sister and family. They were like a ext. family to the mattsons which are my family. Troy was always happy and positive. That's what I remember of him and he was a great listener. His celebration of life today was very sad. He left the world way to early, but like someone said the lord has the final say. I hope he's up there happy and ran into my grandma Keith who was very close to him. He will be greatly missed. God bless you Troy.

Troy's path crossed mine in Circulation Customer Service so many years ago.  Throughout the years that followed, Troy always had a warm hello and a smile.  His smile showed on his entire face.  An amazing human being.  This world needs more Troys.

Rest in Peace Troy. Your work in heaven must require the same amazing skills you demonstrated here on earth. You were one of a kind and you will be missed.  Fly free my friend.

Harry and Sylvia..i just learned of Troy's death today.  i remember him so well..back in the day..as such a bright..supercharged kid.  he always impressed me mightily.  and from what i read here..he built on those gifts well..as an adult.  too young..too soon..too sad.  you know i've been there too..in such a place so hard to accept.  my heart and deepest sympathies are with you both.  Stan

Troy was helpful, resourceful and kind.i worked with him at The Bee and he never let me down. You can be proud of the legacy of friends and goodness he leaves behind.

My deepest condolences to the West and Redondo families. Troy was a great person to work with and a good friend. He worked hard, provided support to all, and built solid friendships at The Bee. He would laugh with you, laugh at you; share good times, endure difficult times; accept challenges head-on and celebrate successes. 

Troy, you left our world way too soon. You'll be sorely missed but always remembered. Be at peace, friend.

My deepest condolences to Troy's family. I had the pleasure of working with Troy a number of times and I'm saddened greatly to hear about his passing.  Rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy for the loss of such a kind and gentle soul.

May the Angels sing sweet songs..much love to all !! To soon!!!

Rest In Peace Troy. You always cracked me up when we worked together at the Bee. I still tease my son, to this day, with your red head joke :) Much love and peace to your family

To Troy's family and loved ones, please accept my condolences.  I, too, had the pleasure of working with him for many years at The Bee.  I remember him being extremely patient.  Rest in peace, Troy.

Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of Troy, hold tight to memories for comfort.

I am so sad to hear of Troy's passing. I worked with Troy for many years at The Bee and he always had a bright smile and joke for me. The good ones are always taken too soon...rest easy, dear Troy. My heartfelt condolances to your family and frends. You will be missed.

May you rest in peace Troy.  The angels are smiling with you.  May God bless you and your family.

We will miss Troy.  It seems like yesterday you invited me to your 21st birthday...some 23 years ago. This friendship lasted a long time. Your sense of humor and personality always made me laugh. No one will ever be able to call my name as authentic as you and have a signature sound .."Randyyyy".....so Troy "Bee" good.  Rest in Peace

Mi querido chaparro, te extranare por siempre.

Troy.. You were such a great man and will be missed. your family is amazing and your spirit will last forever. RIP my friend

Sending my condolences to your family. That smile is unforgetable!

I am so very sorry and saddled by your loss. Troy was always there for anyone that needed him. His smile would light up a room. He is a man I will never ever forget.

I met and worked with Troy 25 years ago when he joined the Bee. His outgoing personality and infectious smile was already well honed. He must have been born with a grin. A tad short but darn cool. Rest in peace Troy.

We would run into each other & talk for hours in the Bel-Air parking lot by Oakmont...XO

My thoughts and prayers are with all who knew and loved Troy.  It has been my pleasure to work with Troy, who always had time to support anyone who needed his guidance, including me.  An invaluable member of the Sacramento Bee staff, but more importantly a kind and wonderful human being.  You will truly be missed Troy.

My condolences. Troy always welcomed me and my family to the West Holiday meals in Roseville. I first met Troy in Tokyo, always a thoughtful and polite young man. Troy had a quick wit, was very well read and just a very nice individual.

So sorry for your loss. I worked with Troy for many years at The Bee. No matter how big or small the problem was, Troy cared and always found a solution. His shoes will be hard to fill. My prayers are with those he leaves behind.

Troy was always was the shining star of the Service Dept. On days, when everything seemed to go wrong at work,Troy was helpful, kind and always smiling. The world has lost one of its dearest humans. To his family: Thank you for sharing Troy.

In the years I worked with Troy I found his smile contagious and his hard work admirable.  Troy was a really fine person and the world is a better place because he was here.  So very sorry for the loss his absence will be to his family and friends

I had the pleasure of working with Troy. He always had a smile and will be missed.  Sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss.  I was just looking at facebook a few days ago and someone posted a picture of a bunch of people from Oakmont and I saw Troy and thought of him.  I went to jr high with him and I will always remember how kind and sympathetic he was when my dad was suddenly killed during my jr high year.  He signed a nice card and I had a bunch of classes with him.  He was always a great guy, always smiling.  Someone that you wanted to be around and like I said ALWAYS HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE.  His death is such a loss he was my age.  I am so sorry he is a great great smart guy.
