I had completely forgotten about that. Thanks for keeping his memory alive. I think it's really important that those who pass before their time are remembered.

Had no idea , thanks for update
Last game v Ess. Then his wedding, off to his honeymoon and died saving his wife. Think about him often.

That was also a tragedy. Very hard to find out the cause of that one. Obviously the lifelines messaging implys suicide but there is mention on Reddit of heroin overdose.

Horrible to think about.
If you've never watched "the Impossible" it's an absolute eye opener of the devastation that the Tsumani left behind. Harrowing watch, and you can only imagine the horror that Troy and his wife were facing in those moments.

The wife was interviewed this year and goes into that day, funnily enough she doesn't mention Troy though.
