Troy Lewis Abegglen

Troy Lewis Abegglen, 49, passed away unexpectedly on May 4, 2025, at his home in Boise, Idaho. Born February 13, 1976, in Ft. Polk, Louisiana, he grew up in a military family, spending his childhood moving around frequently. His family eventually settled in San Jose, California, where Troy graduated high school in 1994. Shortly after, Troy adopted his son Gavin; by 22, he became a proud father to Madison, and at 25, to his youngest daughter, Aria.

After the end of his first marriage in 2005, fate brought him to a blind date at a hockey game in 2006—where he met the love of his life, Kathryne Ann Bickford, and later her daughter Olivia. That meeting began a new chapter, one that shaped the incredible man we knew and loved. He became a loving husband to Kathy and a second father to Oliva, completing his family.

Troy lived to serve others. He would give the shirt off his back without a second thought. His generosity, humor, and warmth lit up every room, and his words carried the weight of someone who had truly lived—through struggle, growth, and grace.

He made people feel seen. Whether you were a close friend or a stranger, he listened with his whole heart. He was more than a good man—he was a loving husband, devoted father, inspiring leader, artist, and storyteller. His perspective was rare, his presence a gift, and his legacy lives on in the lives he touched.

Please join us in celebrating his life on June 14, 2025.
