Troy will always be remembered for making everyone laugh. His kind heart was never cherished enough and it was so very big.
Troy enjoyed hunting & fishing. He loved searching for and finding artifacts, turning over every interesting rock he stumbled upon. Come football season, Troy would wear his Dick Butkus #51 Jersey and cheer on the Chicago Bears.
Troy was an amazing cook and made his food from scratch...just don't ask what he scratched before he made it! Troy was always sweating over his grill and smoker for his friends and family. When Troy would walk in a room he would either be flipping you crap or making your day brighter..... "Cheese and Rice" I cannot believe we are writing his obituary. Good Bye Troy, we love and miss you dearly. We know you are cruising in a Jeep in heaven with the top down and sipping on some sun tea watching over friends and family left here on earth.
Troy's faith was strong. He believed in Jesus Christ our Lord in heaven and has left this earth to reunite with family and friends and to live with God. He is proceeded in death by his Grandparents, his mother Rachel DeEtta James Schomaker Ostheimer and several good friends.He is survived by his birth daughter & her family. His brother Timothy Schomaker, His three sisters, Chantelle Ostheimer & Tim Adams, Kristy & Rodger Linn, Kirston & Chad Goodman. Nieces and Nephews, Tyler & Tynan, Nicholes, Amanda (Moo),& Cory, Brody, Brandon & Courtney, Dustin, Shauna, Alley, & Sanora. Several great nieces and great nephews.
Troy's quote for everyone was to "find yourself out of a rock and a hard place." These are words to live by.
