Obituary: Troy W. Davis, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully on 13, 2015 at Providence Regional Medical in Everett, Washington with his loved ones at his side. Troy was born on 25, 1926 in Fondale, Louisiana to Willie Lea Smith. He was the second of eight children and grew up during the Great Depression; his family and those around them lived in poverty. At the age of 17, Troy joined the Navy to fight for his country in WWII and was deployed on the USS Attu. Troy met his wife, Grace Thelma Taylor, while on leave in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania soon after he joined the Navy. He often shared with his children that it was love at first sight when he met his sweetheart Thelma. She was 16 years old at the time. Three years later, Troy and a couple of his Navy buddies hitchhiked from San Diego, California to Philadelphia so he could marry his sweetie on 22, 1946. Forever newlyweds, Troy and Thelma started their family a year later giving birth to daughter Sue and then son Paul three years later. The young navy family traveled back and forth across the United States as Troy served in the Navy. Troy spent months at a time out at sea on the aircraft carrier, USS Midway, traveling the world. Shore leave summers gave opportunity to visit family in Louisiana and New Jersey. Sue and Paul spent much of their childhood in the back seat of a car. Troys last station before retiring was Alameda Naval Base in California. moving a couple more times, Troy and his family decided to settle in California, and they purchased a new home in Fremont. Troy and Thelma moved into the next phase of their post-navy life. With Sue graduated and Paul in high school, Troys next career was working in computer programing at World Airways. Thelma had taken an office job, the first one since she married; the course of their middle-class life seemed set. But as often happens when least expected, life for them took a new turn and at the ages of 40 and 41, Troy and Thelma became parents again to a beautiful baby daughter, Lynn! Troy was thrilled to be a dad again. He had missed much of Sue and Pauls childhood while at sea. He also brought his sweet, newly widowed mother-in-law, Grace, to live with them until she passed away in 1978. The family, including grandma, made another move when Lynn was seven to Modesto in Californias Central Valley. bought a lovely home and Troy took a job with Montgomery Wards in the home improvement department. Studious and quiet by nature, retail sales brought out his friendly, humorous side and he was a very successful salesman until he retired for good in 1989. Troy was an intelligent, thoughtful man who deeply loved his family, but the most important thing to him was his relationship and walk with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He became a Christian in his early 20s, but when he responded to the alter call at a Billy Graham crusade at Candlestick Park in the late 1950s, he cemented his commitment to Christ. Troy got active in church serving as deacon and elder, teaching adult School classes, leading many Bible studies, and working with kids in AWANA. Troy and Thelma were so passionate about AWANA, they started a new club at Calvary Baptist Church in Modesto when they started attending there and realized the church did not have an AWANA club for the children. Serving Christ became the core of both Troy and Thelmas life until they were no longer physically able. An avid reader, Troy started losing his eyesight to macular degeneration in his 70s. He voluntarily quit driving and resorted to listening to books on tape. It was one of the hardest blows, but it showcased his inner strength and deep faith. He handled his blindness with dignity, resolve, and humor. Troys final years were difficult, but his deep love and care for his sweetie Thelma never faltered and his trust in Christ never wavered. Visits and calls with his much loved grandchildren, great-grandchildren, brothers, and sisters helped greatly and made him happy. Although grieving his loss, our family is joyful knowing Troy is now with Jesus, eyesight restored, happy and healthy for eternity. The family would like to offer special recognition and gratitude to Gloria Wilkins, Troy and Thelmas much-loved caregiver in Modesto and to Brookdale Arbor Place in Everett, Washington for their care, understanding, and kindness in dealing with both Troy and Thelma. Troy is survived by his wife, three children, seven grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. |
