He was 54. His spirit is carried on by his wife Trista, sons Hudson and Grayson, siblings Lisa, Lori and Travis, 12 nieces and nephews and an extended family of friends and relations from every walk of life. A man’s man, Troy was a connoisseur of life, loving great music and great food, strong drinks and easy morn- ings. Full of common sense, he understood that nothing was over until, well, until it was over. He worked hard and dedicated himself to doing whatever he did in the best way possible, be it father, hus- band, boss or friend. To see Troy sit with his unnerving smirk (a thing his friends know well) and watch him watch Trista play with Hudson and Grayson was to observe the inward smile of a contented man; in awe, in love and in the only place he real- ly wanted to be: at home with his family. While the name, Troy Kan- nier might not be familiar to many in the Salem−Keizer area, Padington’s Pizza most likely is and if you know Pad- ington’s, you know Troy. He grew up in the family busi- ness making pizzas alongside his father, George, eventual- ly fulfi lling his dream of be- coming a husband, father and small business owner. He did all these with excitement and pride until an unforeseen fork in the road presented itself. Two-and-a-half years ago, Troy was with glioblastoma brain cancer. Together, Troy and Trista fought the battle in the only way the two of them knew how, with all of the strength, ferocity and courage they could muster. Along the way there have been many days fi lled with music, sun- shine and laughter and there were days with tears that fell like rain. The fi ght fi nally came to an end. Tr i s t a , Hudson and Grayson car- ry on the legacy of one hell of a man. The memory of his spar- kling eyes, T. Kannier quick smile and wonder- ful wit will give them comfort in the days to come. Troy will be missed.
