Now, it falls to me to do the hardest thing I have ever had
to do in my life. It is with a very sad and painful heart that I
have to announce the passing of my little brother; Troy
Williams. Troy Passed away on June 25, 2017 from
natural causes in his home in Twin Falls, Idaho.
Troy was born August 16, 1963 in Twin Falls, Idaho to
Raymond B. and Mary Jo Williams. He was my Little
brother and we grew up and attended school in Filer,
Idaho, we had the most fun as kids playing, hunting
rockchucks, and riding horses along Cedar Draw South of
Filer. Troy later went off to Job Corps in Curlew,
Washington where he learned carpentry and received his
GED.
Troy had many jobs throughout his life, but the job he
loved and took pride in the most was working security and
surveillance at Cactus Pete’s Casino in Jackpot, Nevada.
Troy had two sons, born to him from previous
relationships. Dakotah Anthony Cole, the oldest, is
currently living in Boise, Idaho while working on his
master's degree in social work. Kristopher Cruz born in
Jerome, Idaho, is currently living in Wiesbaden, Germany
where he supports his wife while she serves in the United
States Military.
Troy married Shawna Orr on August 21, 1999, out of that
marriage they had two wonderful kids, Heather Kim and
Kaden Ray Williams. They both currently live with their
mother in Hollister, Idaho.
Troy has been preceded in death by his father, Raymond
Williams of Hollister, Idaho who passed away October 29,
2016, and his mother, Mary Jo Williams of Twin Falls,
Idaho who passed away March 3, 2017. He is also

uncles, and many friends. Troy is survived by his big
brother, Lane Williams of Twin Falls, Idaho, his sons
Dakotah “Cody” Cole, Kristopher Cruz, and Kaden
Williams along with his daughter Heather Williams. He is
