Troy was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, and brother who loved his family unconditionally. He married his wife Dianne Bond in 1980 and from that union, they shared two sons, Byron, and "Bubba". Troy and Dianne were married for 42 years until her passing in 2022. He was a faithful and devoted member of Mt. Hope Baptist Church in Oakdale where he attended church regularly. Troy loved to spend time with his family especially his children and grandchildren and loved to boil crawfish and listen to Zydeco music with them. He was an outdoorsman and took every opportunity he was afforded to go fishing and hunting. Troy also enjoyed working in his yard. He was a very hard worker and providing for his family was a long-time achievement that he was proud of. Troy will be forever missed and unconditionally loved by all who knew him.

Those left to cherish Troy's memory include his two sons, Byron Bonin and wife Crystal of LaPorte, TX, and Brandon "Bubba" Bonin and wife Brittany of Oakdale, LA; one sister, Joylyn Trosclair and husband Murphy of New Iberia, LA; and seven grandchildren, Chloe Dickens, and Haylie, Shelby, Gunner, Ethan, and Brooks Bonin, and Olivia Pruitt.

Troy is preceded in death by his parents Goreph Touchet and Winnie Phelps; his wife, Dianne Bond Bonin; and one sister, Kay Curtin.
