My condolences to Troy’s family for losing such an amazing person. He was our unit’s 1SG in Iraq and our Heart and Soul which kept us going during the darkest of moments. 

Personally, 1SG Wallen provided the guidance a young lieutenant such as myself needed. He even rapped Sugar Hill Gang’s Rapper’s Delight  bringing me to laugh when I needed it the most. 

Rest in Peace to the best NCO and 1SG.

I am not sure if this will still reach the family, I hope that it does. My name is Patrick McGarry and 1Sgt. Wallen was my platoon Sgt from 1996 to 1997 when we were in Bosnia. Your father, brother, grandfather, whatever he was to you, changed my life. I knew him as a great man and I still speak of him to this day. My 9 yo son has heard a lot about him. Every couple of years I would google his name to see if anything came up so I could reach out to him. This broke my heart. I am sorry for your loss. I will remember him forever. Take care.

There's a saying that goes, it's not if you will be remembered, but how you will be remembered. 
And how!  Troy, you were one of the most selfless men I have known. In our time together, I watched you build people.  You took time with people because they needed it. You made people better version's of themselves. You held people accountable for their actions but "hugged" them, because one mistake didn't make a man/woman. 
My comments may be my snapshot of military memories, but in our last conversation, it was apparent you lived the rest of your life in the same fashion.  
Never...was it about you.  I hope that you left us knowing just how many lives you impacted.   I know I wouldn't have been the Officer or person I am today without you. It was my honor to have been your friend. 
You were swept away too soon from us here on Earth.  I take peace knowing there are some people in Heaven that will be happy to see you again.  

So sorry for your loss in the passing of Chief Troy Wallen. He was my boss at Bluegrass Army Depot and he was well liked. My prayers are with the family. 

I graduated from JCHS with Troy...He was such a sweet person that was always smiling and cutting up...R.I.P 

He was a very cool friend in school.   We’d cruise around some and road raced a few times. Lol.  My mom did a portrait of his mom.  So sad to hear of his passing.  He will be missed!   🌹🌺

So sorry to hear that my classmate Troy has passed. We went to Meade Memorial and Johnson Central High School together was a good friend.  Rest in peace friend. 

So sorry to hear about Troy passing.  He was a good friend, we had several classes together at Johnson Central High School. He was always kind and friendly to everyone. Troy thank you for your service. God grained another angel. The Wallen family are in my prayers and thoughts.  

Saddened to hear of Troy’s passing.  
I will never forget his kindness and compassion for me during a very scary time in my life.
Condolences for his family for the loss of a good man and dedicated soldier. Praying for the comfort that only GOD can give 🙏🏻

I am so sorry to hear of Troy's passing. Troy was one of the most considerate, friendly, respectful men I have known. Heaven gained an Angel and Soldier of God. I will always remember the time of my daughter's Prom and how he offered to take her in a Hummer. 
My thoughts and prayers for Brenda and family. 

Brenda I am so sorry for your loss.  You and all of your family will be in my prayers.  May God grant you peace of heart, mind and soul.


So sorry to hear of Troy’s passing. Me and my husband graduated high school with Troy and he was a good friend. Our condolences to the family 

I’ll never forget Troy for the caring and compassion that he gave me during OIF1. He was the first to come to my patrol with a medic and ensure that I was okay after being wounded. He stayed with me all the way to the hospital tent. He demonstrated every day that he truly cared about everyone under his command. He was the finest leader that I have ever served under. He will forever be remembered. 

Troy and I were friends and co-workers, both on active duty and as civilians, and  he was always so committed. Troy genuinely cared about his Soldiers and the communities he served and his legacy will live on through them. I smiled when I saw the picture of him with his golf club, as I know he would always be looking for his errant golf ball in my back yard on the 16th hole of the Battlefield Golf Course. He will be missed by all of us and his memory will stay with us for eternity.

Rest now, my Brother, you stand relieved...we have the Watch.

From our days at Meade Memorial Elementary to Johnson Central High School, Troy was always a good friend to me.   Prayers for peace and comfort for his family. 

There are not too many great men out there anymore. Troy was one, he was kind, generous and comforting. He helped people and cared for them.  He fought for our country. He will be missed dearly I know. RIP and FLY HIGH Troy
