Everyone who knew Troy knows that he was a gifted artist. Drawing was a huge part of Troy’s life, inspired by his love of comic books. Troy started collecting comic books when he was six years old. His collection spans many years and is very impressive. Another talent of Troy’s was his craftsmanship, which went hand in hand with his artistry. His attention to detail is evident in the numerous projects he worked on in and around Chocowinity and Washington. Troy had a huge heart for animals, as he never turned a stray away. Bucky and Sugar are sure to miss him. His mother Phyllis and Roland loved God and supported Troy and will miss him so much. He is survived by his mother, Phyllis B. Ambrose, his father, Roland J.
