Guestbook

  1. I have been blessed to know Troy. The first time we meet was on the baseball field. Troy was always smiling which poured out a contagious Joy to me. Years later, I had the pleasure of being his High School bus driver. I think the bigest smile came when you got the Mustang. Troy, thank you for demonstrating the courage to tackle tough things with a positive outlook. I will never forget you. You will be missed.

  2. Tommy, Terri, Tara, I will always cherish the memories of Troy when he was little!!! We remember when Troy was at our house in Sterling and our Cat Barney walked by him and Troy didn’t like Cats or Dogs. Oh my, he wouldnt have anything to do with them..He soon out grew that and your family had the beautiful Cocker Spaniel!!! Lindie, April, and I, send our love and know we are thinking about you during this very difficult time. Troy will always hold a special place in our hearts.

  3. Troy, my twin! I feel truly blessed to have been able to say you were my friend. I will never forget that beautiful smile that went from ear to ear. You will be missed and until we meet again keep smiling.

  4. Troy was my HERO! He was always smiling even through his tough struggles.Troy was an inspiration to me and many others.Im glad his struggle is over,but the pain of missing him hurts.Troy I love you and may god embrace you.

  5. To the family and friends,
    I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one.
    Soon God’s promise, as recorded at Revelation 21:4 will come true. It says: “And he (God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore…..”
    Since there will be no more mourning, that means our loved ones will come back to life as it is says at Acts 24:15!
    For comfort from the scriptures and answers to your questions, you can have free Bible studies. You may ask any one of Jehovah’s Witnesses to make arrangements.

  6. Troy was a fun loving guy, and i would joke around with him every time i seen him. I know there were tough times lately with his illness, but no matter what he would always be smiling when ever i saw him. Troy loved the car shows in Ocean city or where ever he went for the shows. I love uou and will miss you. You were always just like a son to me.Now you will walk again in Heaven with Jesus and smile as i always seen you do.

    Love Dave Kannard

  7. Terri, Tommy & Tara, when I think of Troy, I think of his smile. I don’t remember ever seeing him that he wasn’t smiling. Troy was a teenager when Frank and I met your family and we used to discuss what a pleasure it was to know such a loving family. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

  8. Tommy, Terry and Tara: I will always remember Troy with a beautiful smile and the love for hot rods. I enjoyed the times we had at Ocean City walking around looking at the cars or sitting in a parking lot in the back if Dave’s pickup truck. I am so thankful we saw Troy recently at the car show in Myrtle Beach. I am blessed to have know Troy. Keeping you in mt thoughts and prayers.

  20. Troy you were the strongest person I ever met! You always greeted me with that wonderful smile on your face. Buddy and Patty said they know you are up in heaven having a blast., because they know you wouldn’t have it any other way. Watch over all of us until we meet again on the other side. Billy and I will miss you bunches Troy Boy love you!

  21. Troy — celebrating your life today will be indeed bitter sweet. Bitter because we are now without your warm smile and kind heart; sweet because you are at peace and others can look to you as a role model of fortitude and bravery. May God keep you in his loving embrace. Rest In Peace Troy.

  22. We are deeply saddened to learn of Troy’s passing. His pure courage will always be remembered and be an inspiration for us all.

  23. Troy Boy, you were so very special since the day you were born. I loved you instantly and I still continue to love you. You had a great struggle that you and your family fought hard and still were able to be happy and laugh. I will always remember your wonderful laugh, which would start out a big smile and then end hissing. You really enjoyed all events and loved to eat (very, very slowly). You always knew it would make me happy to give Uncle Rene some smart-ass one-liners. I will miss you every day but I know that you are in heaven now with no pain or suffering. I will keep all the many wonderful memories alive with your Mom, Dad and sister until we meet again. Love always, Aunt Sherri

  24. Terri brought Troy to bring your child to work day. Of course I asked if I could help him manuver with his crutches; and of course he said, NO. He walked the entire complex and participated in events all morning. I was so impresed with his determination. Although Troy sucumbed to the wheelchair that determination brought him through many health battles. It was a privilege to know this brave young man. God bless and keep the Compher family strong. Angie Holpp

  25. Miss you Troy. I know you are in heaven at peace. I just wish I had a little bit more time before you left. I think alot about the memories we shared, birthday parties and boy scouts. Love, Byron
