Donald Ray Troy, 65, of Lookout Valley, passed away on Thursday, November 19, 2020.

Donald Ray Troy was a special man and wore many hats. He was a natural entertainer and loved people. He was a friend to all he met.  He would light up a room with his presence. As a child he was fearless, strong and all around boy next door.  He was my Peter Pan as he was always able to live life to the fullest.  He loved his wife, his children, his family and automobiles.  He was a car enthusiast, and went to many car shows through the years.  He loved working at Sequatchie Concrete as a block truck driver.  He often talked about going on deliveries with Poky Van Allman.  He was close to his brother-in-law, Dennis Nelson, and spoke of him often and their life in Battle Creek.  He often said "He/We had the best childhood a kid could have and, I agree.  He was my hero and there will never be another Donnie Troy! The last years of his life because of dementia, Donnie became a member of Alexian Brothers Pace Program  family and I would like to extend a personal thank you to all the staff and special thanks to Boo Boo and Ms. Patricia that became our friends.
