Troy Franklin Kannier
April 18, 1964 – January 2, 2019
Troy Franklin Kannier, a
wonderful husband and father,
dedicated and loyal brother,
sincere and caring friend, and
really, really great pizza maker
passed away Jan. 2. 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.
St.
Joeseph
Catholic
Church, 721 Chemeketa
Street N.E. in Salem, will host

itation of the Rosary at 9:30

A ship sails for peace in free movie
The Golden Rule Project, a peace-pro-
moting group, will host a free screening
of Making Waves: Rebirth of the Golden
Rule on Saturday, Feb. 2, at the Unitarian
Universalist Church, 5090 Center Street
in Salem.
Filmmaker James Seamus Knight and
a visiting Oregon State University pro-
fessor will be on-hand to discuss the fi lm
and current peace efforts. The screening
begins at 9 p.m.
Making Waves tells the story of four
Quaker peace activists, led by Navy vet-
eran Albert Bigelow, who set sail in 1958
to the Marshall Islands and helped create
public demand to cease underwater, at-
mospheric, and outer space nuclear bomb
tests in 1963. Current Golden Rule crew
member Zoe Byrd will introduce the
fi lm.
The historic peace boat later sank, in
2010, and was rebuilt in Humboldt Bay,
California. The Golden Rule, a Project of
Veterans For Peace, is once again sailing,
this time in support of a nuclear-free fu-
ture.
Dr. Linda Marie Richards, historian
of science at the School of History, Phi-
losophy and Religion at Oregon State
University, who works on human rights
and nuclear history, will discuss her book
manuscript.
Byrd, Knight and Richards, all par-
ticipated in the Great Peace March for
Global Nuclear Disarmament, a nine-
and-a-half month walk from LA to DC
in 1986. The three will answer questions
and discuss nuclear abolition with the au-
dience following the fi lms.
