Troy S Threet

Troy Stephen Threet (husband of Angela Stanifer Threet), 42, of Niceville, Florida, went to be with his Lord on Friday, November 17, 2017, surrounded by his loving family.  He was a loving husband, an incredible, involved father, devoted son, beloved son-in-law, cherished brother, engaging uncle, selfless friend, admired neighbor, patient and caring soccer, baseball, and basketball coach, pack leader, and church leader. Troy was a mighty prayer warrior and an amazing man of God. Always wearing a smile, Troy touched and blessed the lives of all who knew him. He leaves a beautiful legacy to his family

Troy was born on October 28, 1975 in Wichita, Kansas and grew up in Smyrna, Tennessee.  He graduated with a degree in engineering from Tennessee Technological University.  As a professional engineer he was proud to be a part of the engineering team at Eglin Air Force Base. He previously used his talents as an engineer for several companies and in mission fields in Mexico, Guatemala, and inner-city Denver. 

Troy taught his children to love God and he lived for his family.  He was love personified for them. He is survived by his best friend and soulmate - his wife Angela, and children, Kailey, Mason, Max, and Anna Kate; his parents, Ruthe and Stephen Threet of Smyrna, Tennessee and his sister and brother-in-law, Jenny Threet Paul, Clay Paul, and baby Paul of Lebanon, Tennessee. In addition he cherished his extended family, parents-in-law, Jim and Shirley Stanifer of Niceville, and brothers-in-law, Todd (Terri) Stanifer, Kaila, Tyler and Shane (Tammy) Stanifer, Chase, and Carlee all from the Knoxville, Tennessee area.

Troy was a light that shined brightly on anyone he met.  He had a unique ability to be creative and to find the gifts in others to collectively work together to go to heights previously unknown.  He was an incredible and magnetic leader. Troy did not see what was; he saw what could be and went after it with all his heart.  He was a true servant.
