Troy Allen Mathews

Troy is survived by his wife, Julie Mathews; his children, Ryan Womax, Jami Burnside, and John Burnside; and his beloved grandchildren, Jayden Ashbrook, Lillian Wires, Aurora Womax, Brayden Perry, Landyn Perry, Tucker Burnside, Brooklynne Burczyk, and Jaxxyn Burnside. He is also survived by his mother, Louise Mathews; his sister, Jamie Mathews; and his niece and nephew, January Jacob and Landon Mathews.

He was preceded in death by his father, David “Pops” Mathews, and his nephew, EJ King.

Troy was many things — stubborn, outspoken, and never afraid to tell you exactly what he thought. He was hardheaded, but always there when someone needed him. He was the kind of man who would show up to help no matter what, even if he complained the entire time!

You could always count on finding Troy in the shed with friends, enjoying a beer and good conversation. Cheering on The Ohio State Buckeyes and watching westerns. Those moments and memories will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

A celebration of Troy’s life will be held at a later date.

He will be remembered for his loyalty, his humor, his willingness to help others, and the unforgettable personality that made him uniquely Troy.
