Troy D. Gilbert, 56, is in God’s hands now and will be dearly missed by
all those who knew and loved him.

Troy was adventurous, lived in the moment, had a big heart and always
helped those in need. He had a fun and easy-going personality and lit up
the room with his presence and smile. He was extremely talented, hard-
working and artistic. He was a carpenter most of his life and then found
another passion in welding and metal fabricating. He loved to draw and
build motorcycles. He was definitely a rockhound, loved to search for
and collect unique rocks.

Troy was born in Corona, CA, lived in Augusta, GA, Waynesville, NC and
then moved to Lake Havasu in 2015.

Troy is survived by his mother, Cindy Desmaretz (Don), father, Steve
Gilbert, sisters Shauna Ballance (Tray), Ashley Gilbert, sons Mitch
Gilbert and Gaige Gilbert, nephews/nieces, Jozy Ballance, Jesse
Ballance, Ralyn Ballance, River Ballance, step-brother Steven Desmaretz,
uncle Larry Murray (Sharron), all his cousins and long time girlfriend
Gina James. Celebration of Life will be announced at later date.
