Troy Steven Smith, age 41, of Apopka, passed away on Friday, August 20, 2010. He was a loyal husband and a wonderful father to his son and his three step-children. Troy's level of caring knew no bounds, he worked hard to provide his family with a comfortable home, a way of living that surpassed even his own expectations, and a life filled with family values and out-of-this-world experiences. President and Owner of American Reprographics which is located in Winter Park, FL, he was considered an esteemed businessman within the Orlando reprographics community for 24 years service.
Troy was the son of Robert D. Smith and Wilma Leona Smith (Hettrick), born at Winter Park Hospital in 1969 and has resided in the Orlando, FL area for 41 years. He was an enthusiastic drum major for the Edgewater Marching Band and graduated from Edgewater High School in 1987. He is survived by his wife, Tammy Smith, his son Andrew Smith, his three step-sons Nicolas Zegowitz, Christopher Zegowitz, and Thomas Zegowitz. He is survived by his three siblings, Robby Smith, Catherine Whitlock, and Tim Smith.
Troy was the man who called me beautiful, he called me back when I'd hang up on him, and on occasion we would lie under the stars and he would listen to my heartbeat, and sometimes, so he told me, he would stay awake just to watch me sleep. I waited for the man who kissed my forehead, who wanted to show me off to the world when I was in sweats, who held my hand in front of his friends, and who thought I was just as pretty without makeup on. Troy was constantly reminding me of how much he cared and how lucky he was to have me. He was the one who turned to friends and said, 'that's her.'” I loved my husband more than he would ever know.
