On November 20, 2011, our treasured Dad, Son, and Brother, Troy Glen Valdez, 41, was joyfully greeted in Heaven into the loving arms of his sister Johanna, his brother Adam, and his loving grandfather, Glen Williams. 

Troy had a smile and laugh that was extremely contagious. He loved being the best Dad he could be to his sweet girls. He loved the outdoors and collecting baseball memorabilia. He loved living on the edge. He knew he could do anything he put his mind to when he was growing up. He loved his sister Amy, she was his caretaker when they were young. She made sure his stuff was always done so he wouldn’t get into trouble. They were so close and loved one another so very much. Troy always knew that his Dad, Mike would teach him all he needed to know in life. They were great friends. His Mother, Gayle was always there when he was down, or needed a lift. His daughters, Mariah, Makenna, and Aniston were the love his life, the love of his spirit. He just wanted to be everything he could be for them. Most of the time, he couldn’t say I love you enough. His sweetheart Staci, was his strength, his hope, his everything. She was there in the darkest of times and even in times he didn’t know he needed her. He loved his Grandmother, Mabel and all she did for him, her love and faith she had and more. He loved his family more than life.

Father Lou and step mom, Lynda Gonzales were also loving parents and gave great support to Troy. His brother, Adam Gonzales preceded him in death. His loving sister, Veronica has always been there for him when he was in need. She has a great love for him and his daughters.

Troy went to Spanish Fork High and got his GED. He married Jenifer Thornton Valdez in 1996 and was later divorced. He has spent the last six years with his best friend and companion, Staci Mott.

Troy will be remembered by many nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles and will be greatly missed. He loved them each and every one. He is survived by his daughters, Mariah Paige Valdez, Payson, Utah, Makenna J. Valdez, Payson, Utah, Aniston Mabel Valdez, Payson, Utah; and his family members, Mike and Gayle Valdez, Spanish Fork, UT; Amy and Butch Clark, Fairview, Utah; Lou and Lynda Gonzales, Payson, Utah; Veronica and Jose Valadez, Payson, Utah; and his Grandmother, Mabel Williams, Spanish Fork, Utah.
