He was a proud member of the Hualapai Tribe and an important fixture in a large loving family. From the day he was born, Troy made an immediate impact on everyone he met. With his incredible smile, welcoming heart, and memorable faces, Troy always made your day a bit brighter. Everyone he encountered was the better for having known him.
