From Richland, WA, US | Born in Salem, Oregon
Hartzell Troy Dowdy
Troy was born on January 20, 1974, in Salem, Oregon and moved to the Tri-Cities when he was 15. He was taken from us on August 16, 2004, in a car accident.
The biggest joy of Troys short life was his family life. His children and wife meant the world to him, and it showed in all he did. He spent all of his time helping and doing for others, and there was nothing he wouldnt do for anyone. He never met a stranger and always had a smile. Troy was a very hard worker and eager to learn. His hobbies were spending time with his kids, playing the guitar, and doing for others.
Troy will be deeply missed by his wife, Christina; son, Nicholas and daughter, Alisha; mother, Betty Dowdy; special nephew, DeShaun; father and mother-in-law, Paul and Glenda Boese; brother, Jon Sandy Wikum; sister, Theresa Bobby Alley; brothers-in-law, Shannon Jennifer Nichols and Jeremy Boese; sister-in-law, Amanda Boese; nieces and nephews include Kristen, Galin, Garrett, Josh, Cody, Shannon, Devin, Jacob, Kaela, and Alex.
Troy will be joining brother, Jimmy Wikum; father, Hartzell Dowdy; sister, Staci Dowdy; and grandmother, Verna Miller in heaven.
Join us for services at Desert Lawn Memorial Park in Kennewick at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 21, 2004. A celebration of Troys life will be held at Paul and Glendas home following the services.
In lieu of flowers, donations for Troys kids, Nick and Alisha may be made to Washington Mutual Bank account 0970700657.

Troy,
There is no one else that could ever touch a persons heart the way you do! You have that special way of making people feel like they are welcome and loved! I only met you 3 years ago, yet you shared so much with me and touched me in such a way that I will NEVER forget how warm and giving you are. I will miss you always,
Michelle
We have known Troy and his family for almost our whole lives, so we have many unforgetable memories that will never be forgotten and will always be looked back upon with a huge smile. The first thing that comes to our minds when we think of him is his laugh, which always seemed to be contagious. As much as it seemed he was a brother to our father, he was deffinetly an uncle to us!! Tina, nick, and Alisha you will be in our prayers.
We love you UNCLE TROY!!
Love Always,
Steph17 and Britt15

Loving You Now And Forever! Your Wife Christina Marie Dowdy! Thank you to everyone for all that you have done.
My dearest Child, You were taken from us so quickly. I love you with all my heart. I will never forget your hugs kisses and smiles. I am so very glad you were a part of our lives and you gave me two beautiful grand kids to love. You have a special place in heaven and we will someday join you there. I will think of you daily and have you in my heart forever. I LOVE YOU Mom
Troy, I love you. I do not remember a single second before you came into my and my families life. You have brought my sister and the rest of us many great days, laughs, and joys, and for that I will always be thankful.

Troy, you were that dad that I always wished I could have had. You mean so much to me and I love you with all of my heart. Thank you for passing along the gift of music to me, and I will always play music with you in my heart. Forever and Always.
You are always in our thoughts!
This seems still so unreal to me. It wasn’t that long ago that I saw you in Columbia park with your kids having such a great time. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I believe that he is where ever you are. He lives on in your words, he lives on in your heart. He is never too far away.

Theresa and family,
You may not remember me,I was Cody’s preschool teacher. I just wanted to let you know that I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your brother. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Troy you will be greatly missed. We met when you were 15 years old and you were always smiling and cracking jokes. You were great fun to be around and you were so awesome with all the kids in the apartment complex. I will always remember your smile,the way you walked and how glad you always seemed to be when we would run into each other out in public through the years. I still can’t believe you are gone. You are loved and will be missed more than words could ever express. We will meet again in the future..
With Love,
Monica
