He was employed at Custom Fabricators in Watertown for over 20 years in quality control, making parts for Indian Motorcycles. He was currently working at Aero Trailers in Watertown.
Troy was an avid Nascar racing fan, cheering on his favorite driver, Rusty Wallace. He enjoyed throwing darts, hunting, the Minnesota Vikings, and riding motorcycles. Troy shared his passion of working on cars and ice fishing with his son, Wylie. They would have a competition to see who could catch the biggest fish. His greatest love was spending time with his family. He loved being with his nieces and nephews, tickling and playfully teasing them.
