Troy Jason ""Jaybird Boodell

Troy Jason ""Jaybird"" Boodell, 35, of Baytown, went to be with our Lord and Savior on June 27, 2015. He was born on January 7, 1980 in Baytown and was a graduate of Robert E. Lee High school in 1998, where he was a proud member of the Gander Football team. He was employed by Bayer as an operator since 2007.

He was a kind, loving and compassionate man that always put his family first. His smile was contagious, he had a heart of gold and enjoyed life, living it to the fullest. Everyone who knew him, knew him for his humor. When you saw Troy Jason, there was a certainty that he was wearing UT, camo, or something with DU on it. His proudest accomplishment was when he was blessed with his daughter, Victoria ""Doodlebug''. He had an unconditional love for all his daughters, all meaning the world to him. He was a faithful Christian and attended church regularly with his family. He was an avid bird hunter, known as ""Jaybird"", who enjoyed hunting with his father, friends and his Chesapeake Bay Retriever, ""Duke"". He was the kind of young man that anyone would be proud to call son, brother, or friend. You'll be in our hearts forever, until we see you again.
