Love is lost Friends are made Without change There is nothing to gain

Troy Lee Forester accepted Christ at a young age lived with God in his heart and is now in his hands. He was a member of Pythian Ave. Baptist Church. Troy was undoubtedly the teacher of all teachers. He taught all that knew him that it's never too late to change your life. Troy had a very tenacious soul. Anything he put his mind to was absolutely possible, no matter how unendurable the task at hand may have seemed.

Troy had a sweet undeniable love of all nature. He loved riding, showing and taking care of horses. He loved working out side, arranging flowers and just enjoying the beautifully painted world God created in which he thrived. Troy was a wonderful life partner, farther, son and brother, uncle. Above all a friend to everyone that truly knew him.

Troy will be sorely missed, but always remembered in our hearts, Troy put a stamp on the hearts of all he met in his too short life. He will meet us all again some day in the house of the lord.
