Naomi Marie Troy

Naomi Troy was born on August 21, 2000, in Greeley, Colorado, born to the proud parents James and Brenda Troy. Her legacy lives on through her sister, Grace Smith, and brother, Oran Kobobel. Naomi embarked on her educational journey at West Holt High School in Nebraska, where she laid the foundation for her remarkable future. She graduated from West Holt High School in 2019.

In May 2019, Naomi made a resolute commitment to her country by enlisting in the armed forces straight out of high school. Her unwavering dedication persisted for four impactful years. As a Security Forces Defender, Naomi was stationed at Eielson AFB, AK, from 2019 to 2022, and then continued her service at Travis AFB, CA, from 2022 up to the present day.

During her time at Eielson AFB, Naomi actively participated in Red Flag missions and marked her place in history by facilitating the introduction of F35s to the base, thus securing the largest number of 5th Generation aircraft. Her commendable work ethic led to her rapid promotion to the role of desk sergeant.

At Travis AFB, Naomi cherished her time at Lake Tahoe, basking in the cold weather and forming deep bonds with her colleagues. She consistently emphasized the importance of maintaining good health and readiness for duty among her peers. Whenever DefendHer Naomi volunteered for an event, she was the first to raise her hand, asking, 'When and where can I help?'

From a tender age, Naomi's heart beat passionately for animals. Her beloved horse, Ria,was her faithful companion, and she embraced the Western riding style. Stationed in the beauty of Alaska, she lived life to the fullest, embracing snowboarding, and long-distance running, showcasing her daredevil spirit. During her livelier moments, she found joy in EDM music, raves, and the enchanting world of anime. Her dog, affectionately named "5K," got his moniker from running alongside her during a 5k event. Naomi's dream was to become a part of CATM and work alongside her brother, Oran Kobobel, as a weapons instructor in the civilian sector. Naomi loved Dungeons and Dragons, shooting guns and she was a very loyal friend and sister.

Naomi's selflessness and dedication radiated from the moment you crossed her path. She had a remarkable ability to create new memories and cherished every moment spent with her beloved fur babies. The loss of Naomi leaves a void in the hearts of all those who were fortunate enough to know her. Her memory will forever be cherished by the countless lives she touched with her indomitable spirit.

She is leaving behind two older siblings, one brother, age 31 and one sister age 29. She is also leaving behind her dog 5K, and both of her parents, Jim and Brenda.
