I never got the chance to meet Troy personally but I have the pleasure of knowing his aunt Nikki Gant for quite some time now and through her I've met his mom and aunt Erica as well as their parents in which I feel is a very humble and nice family.My heart goes out to all of you during this time.My prayers will continue for you all for the days ahead.My prayer is that God strengthens this family & even though your hearts are hurting, may you find comfort & peace knowing he is probably up in heaven teaching God some dance moves! 😊

I will always remember that smile. 😁
Gant and Howell families, know that you all are ALWAYS in my prayers. Please accept my deepest condolences.

Love,
An honorary Auntie💜

I pray that the many happy memories of Troy’s life with all of you will, with time, overcome the sadness and pain that have accompanied you all as you journeyed these later years with him. I will always remember first meeting Fari kids in Walmart. Troy kept running around me in circles, then stop and say hi my name is Troy. He did this several times and all we could do is laugh. Nette kept saying boy sit down, she too old for you. Lol 
Long live dance machine Troy. 😇
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. 

love Koyo Huff 

Troy I’m going to miss all the phone call and text to come  and  get you . The vacation in 2018 I never forget how you had everyone watching The Walking Dead everyday.
Your grandpa   Love You 
Rest In Peace my grandson Troy Million 


Hello my beloved grandson. There are no words to express the heaviness I feel in my heart right now. I miss you so much already. I thank God for sharing you with us and all the fun times we had. I can’t stop thinking about you when we were on the beach in Florida running with the waves rushing behind you as though they were chasing you.  Oh my god! That was so funny . You taught us how to be happy when we were at our lowest. No one could make a grand entrance and bring laughter when there was sadness as you did. I see you dancing now. What a great dancer you were. I won’t let anyone dance in your favorite spot. It still belongs to you. No more text from you that just said Nana and nothing else. My! How I miss you my beloved Troy.  Sleep well! Nana loves you. ❤️

Troy, 
 You came into this world earlier than we expected and you definitely left us to soon. I still can't believe you're no longer with us. I just keep thinking about our trip to Florida. You acting as if the waves were about to take you away while running in slow motion.  Can't forget about you trying to get your mac on while we were at the beach. I remember you coming back to the house telling us how you were a big hit at some party you went to while we in Florida.  Doing what you do best dancing. Lol. I'll never forget you sitting in your NaNa and Pawpaw being the comedian that you were roasting your mom and sister. This is a hard pill to swallow. I know that you've found piece. Continue to dance nephew. Until we meet again. You'll forever be in our hearts. love you. 

“Gone too soon” I Loved Troy as my own son that I hadn’t had and he loved me as a father figure. Me being a proud Step-Father I can honestly say that Tafari did the best job as a mother of raising a well-mannered , Respectful, Smart, Intelligent, charming, and Happy son. Troy was loved by so many for a reason and his name will live on forever I’m not going to be long winded I just want to show my respect to Troy because I know he would do it for me. “We Love you son always and forever”

Losing a brother is what hurts the most me and Troy have been through a lot together and me moving away put even more distance between us but no matter how far the distance the bond never faded he is in a better place and now watching over me 🙏❤️

Me and Troy had the best memories.  He was my Big brother and Bestfriend all in One.  I loved him to so much,  we was always somewhere laughing or we was at home getting on our mother nerves. Then when we Started high school together Troy told all his friends that Isaiah was his son. So then everyone started thinking that me and Troy was together.  And he would always say "nah man this my little sister" . Troy was a Great Uncle to Isaiah

Troy was always ready to show me his new dance routine! If he wasn’t dancing, he would ride that bike and would always say, look Nikki I’m sitting on something. I would say, yea you got it! Then we would talk about what to do with his hair, which was our last conversation! When May comes I will throw up the 3! That’s was our sign because our birthday is 3 days apart! I love you and will miss that bright smile!! 
Show them how to dance up there kid 💜💜💜

Troy,

As I write this I can't stop the tears but I know that you are truly at peace now.  I remember you as the skinny little kid I met over 10yrs ago when you would come with your mom to pick up stink. Your smile was so bright and you were always full of joy.  Life wasn't always fair to you but you wore it well and no matter what you always wanted to bring joy to others.  I will never forget the last time I saw you when you came to perform, you stood tall head held high you were so proud of your accomplishments. You found a way to tell your story and express yourself through your dance and you taught that to the children here in our town.  That will be the memory I forever hold in my heart of you.  You inspired many.

This day was the happiest day seeing you walk across the stage seeing your smile I still can't believe your gone it still feels so unreal I still don't understand why I guess I never will which is why this is so hard.  You will always have a special place in my heart and I miss you already it's gone be hard not seeing you dancing in nana and paw paw livingroom everytime I go there I'm gone always look in the livingroom because that was your own lil area to yourself while you was dancing and smiling 
🕊 😭💔😢 Long Live Troy R.I.L nephew

Please accept my sincere condolences in the loss of Troy.  Troy was my student last school year. I am truly saddened about his passing. My family and I will continue to pray for you all. 

Im Really Annoyed Right Now Because I Typed This Already And ACCIDENTALLY PUSHED THE BACK BUTTON AND IT DELETED EVERYTHING!!! So Here I Am Again Lol. Growing Up Me And Troy Were Constaintly Told The Story Of How I Would Terrorize Him In His Swing.  Our Family Said He Would Be Sitting In His Swing Peacefully And I Would Be Sitting Next To Him Watching Tv Then Out Of No Where They Would Hear Him Screaming And The Swing Would Just Be Going and I Would Still Just Be Sitting There. So One Day They Watched And Caught Me In The Act 😂 Then As We Got Older We Still Faught Over The Dumbest Things But We Still Stood Up For Each Other Despite The Fights We Had. Our Relationship Was A Little Weird Lol But We Got Older And We Just Recently Started Talking Every Other Day. Every Facetime I Got From You We Would Just Be Laughing The Entire Time It Felt So Good. Our Last Facetime Call Replays In My Head Because You Told Me Your Plans For Your Future You Shared Your Goals With Me. You Wanted So Much For Yourself And You Were Working For It! You Talked About Kids And Seeing You With Isaiah & Prince I Know For A Fact You Would Be A Great Dad, But Ima Make Sure They Remeber Who You Are! And Also In That Facetime Call We Said Something To Each Other That We Haven't Said In FOREVER And That Was "I Love You" So Im Happy Thats Our Last Convo Went That Way But Im Also Sad It Was Our Last. I Love You So Much Little Brother And Miss You More Than Anything.

My favorite memory of Troy is when we would dance together. Some of the the dance moves I know came from Troy. I looked up to him through dance. He was a protective/fun brother, I wouldn’t ask for anyone else. 

Troy, I only met you a few times but I know that Mr. Davis loved you so much. I will always remember how you and the other boys gave us a baby shower for our son. It was the best. You will be missed. 

My 1  & Only Son
I was truly blessed to have you as my son for 19yrs.  I loved your smile and your personality but most of all your dancing. I know I would always yell at you for excepting so many in invites for you to dance at someone party but i would have drove you to the moon and back. I will miss your calls and texts that we shared everyday.  Your sister's were so jealous saying you got more attention than them even if you did its because you were my only son , my miracle baby , my heart.  I am sad but I know God was ready for you.  Im definitely going to miss the stories you shared with me some i didn't want to hear because I was your mom but hey I did say you could always talk to me about anything and that you did. 
I'm proud of the man you became raising you was a struggle being a single mother but I did it.
I love you always my son
