Troy, age 58 of Great Falls, Montana, passed away Tuesday, January 5, 2021, at Benefis Peace Hospice.Troy was born April 28, 1962, in Flagstaff, Arizona to Charles Edward and Janalyce Ham.Troy grew up in Bisbee, Arizona.He received his diploma from Bisbee High School, Class of 1980 and went on to receive a degree in Computer Programing from ITT Technical Institute. He was a member of MENSA. His favorite careers included cooking at the historic Copper Queen Hotel in Bisbee, AZ and working at a law firm in Washington state.In his retired years, he was often seen helping family and friends in Great Falls, MT. Troy is survived by his finance; mother; sisters; children; and niece and nephew.He was preceded in death by his father.His life will be celebrated in private by his family. Psalm 23 The Good Shepherd The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Final thoughts from a sister….. You go through life feeling like you know someone and then once they go, you seem to learn more about them than ever before.All the people I have met over the last couple of weeks from store attendants, to neighbors, to nurses, described Troy as a kind hearted caring man.I believe Troy’s desire in life was to fit in and be loved.Troy was a genus.You think I am kidding but he was a documented genus.A high IQ comes with the difficulty of navigate society, find friends, family that will except you and take the time to understand you.Everyone wants to leave a legacy. Something to be remembered by.I believe Troy would want people to know; his goal in life was to love deeply, laugh often, live fully and bask in the sun! Preferably the Arizona sun, as that is where he always called home.I have learned from his life to take time to get to know someone. Put aside judgement and learn their past, what made them who they are.Offer a helping hand and show kindness in whatever you do. Troy you are already missed by many.
