Troy was born on June 29, 1963 in Marshall, the son of Dale L. Eskew and Donna K. Brightwell Eskew who survive of Marshall, MO. Troy went by many names, “Daddy”, ”T-Roy”, “Big-T” and “Ed”, but his favorite name to be called was “PaPa T”. Troy wore many hats in many professions. He was a farmer, a carpenter, a plumber, an avid fisherman, a self-proclaimed BBQ pit master but his best trait was being the best friend to so many people. Troy would give the shirt off his back to anyone he knew and loved.

He is survived by two daughters; Ashley Rice (Micheal) of Lake Lotawana, MO and Alexandra Neely (Jimmy) of Blue Springs, MO; the love of his life; Sarah Eskew of Blue Springs, MO; five grandchildren: Ashton, Caleb, Braden, Emerson and Maelyn; one brother, Gary “Lardo” Eskew (Tiffany) of Marshall, MO; one sister, Pammy Smithey (Jamie) of Marshall, MO; as well as many beloved nieces and nephews.

Troy was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Glenn and Dorothy Eskew; maternal grandparents, John and Pauline Brightwell; and a brother-in-law, Chuck Lynch.
