Troy Harrison Memorial Fund
Donation protected
Troy Harrison tragically passed away due to an accident on August 10, 2020 at the age of 55.
All who knew Troy, know that he adored his mom. His untimely death left financial obligations that will need to be fulfilled by Joyce. As many family and friends have reached out to ask how to help our family in this sorrowful time, contributions to Troy Harrison Memorial fund will help alleviate the financial burdens.
Troy was born on August 29, 1964 to Ken Tom and Joyce (Brayson) Harrison in Dallas, Texas, the youngest of 3 siblings. He lived in Seagoville, Texas as a young boy, moving to Gresham, Oregon with his family in 1977.
Troy was a talented athlete, excelling in the sports of baseball, football, skiing, track, karate and wrestling. He attended Sam Barlow High School and graduated in 1982 and was a life- long Bruin. Troy was a self-employed master carpenter and had the reputation of a fine craftsman in the industry, specializing in building intricate design work. Music was another passion of Troy’s and he loved all genres of music, from classic heavy metal, to jazz, to classic country. He was an accomplished guitar player and was often asked to jam with Northwest artists such as Jim Mesi, who’s talent he greatly admired. Troy never forgot his roots and was a southern gentleman and Dallas Cowboy fan all his life. Troy loved to laugh, socialize and never met a stranger he didn’t like. His heart was the size of Texas and his death leaves an unfillable void in the lives of his family and those that loved him best.
Troy’s absence will be felt deeply by his entire family, as well as his “BBKC Brotherhood” of Barlow friends, and the many others he befriended along his way.
A Family Remembrance will be planned for Troy at a time deemed safe during the COVID restrictions.
We cannot believe that the next time we see our Troy Boy will be in heaven. His cousin John described him perfectly in the following excerpt from his poem entitled, “Legend Troy Boy Harrison.”
Troy was a karate kickin’, jab strikin’, ski flickin’, surfboard lickin’,
Ass kickin’, guitar pickin’ bad little dude from child to man.
Once again...can’t hold a candle to this legend, Troy Boy Harrison.
If you say you can, you are either lying or one hell of a man.
