Troy graduated from Grand Prairie High School in 1991. While in high school he met Paula Melton. There was always something between them but the timing wasn't right until years later when they reconnected in 2013. They became inseparable and were married on October 23.
Troy worked for Winsor Plastic after school for many years, then began work with APL logistics, where he dedicated 14 years. In January he received his diagnosis but that didn't stop him from living. He enjoyed cooking and going to rock concerts such as Rush, Slayer and Pink Floyd. A movie buff for all genres, he also loved spending time with his family and being at the lake.
A shy, straight-forward man, Troy was loving, generous and kind. He was an avid artist, mainly creating abstract work with paint, watercolors and color pencils. An all around good person,
he was soft spoken with a giving heart.
Troy is survived by his wife, Paula Melton Wofford; parents Reed and SeLena Wofford, brother Bruce Wofford, sister-in-law Melva Wofford, brother David Wofford, sister-in-law Katrina Wofford, brother Joe Wofford, sister-in-law Janice Wofford; sister Lisa McKelvey, brother-in-law Casey McKelvey, sister Michelle Ramirez, brother-in-law Fernando Ramirez, brother Joshua Wofford and sister-in-law Christina Wofford; step-child Jacob Narvaez, step-child Crystal Narvaez, step-child Chloe Narvaez, seven nieces and nine nephews.
