During his childhood, Troy lived in Minnesota before returning to Florida in his teenage years. There, he met his fiancée, Hailey Sloan, and together they welcomed their beloved son Lance in 2021.
Troy enjoyed working in restaurants and worked various jobs but most recently truly found joy being a stay at home dad with his son Lance. In his free moments, he loved gaming with his close-knit group of friends, whom he considered family. He loved nature walks to clear his mind and cherished taking his family on weekend trips to Florida’s beautiful springs, creating precious memories together.

He also leaves behind his nieces and nephews: Bella, Roland, Braden, Corrin, Tyler, Morgan and Riley.
He was preceded in death by his father, Terry Westphal.
Troy will always be remembered for his deep love for his family and friends, as well as the joy and laughter he brought into our lives.
