TROY BALL

TROY BALL October 2nd, 1965 October 8th, 2025 “He lived life, laughed often, and always knew the stats.”
Troy was a devoted family man, a passionate fan of the Calgary Flames and Stampeders, and a lover of sports, cards, and comedy. Known for his quick wit and warm heart, he made every moment feel like a celebration. Troy grew up in Medicine Hat and Calgary, playing hockey and baseball before building a successful career in the oil and gas industry.
He was predeceased by his parents, Marvin and Eleanor; brothers, Kalvin and Blake. Troy is lovingly remembered by his son, Ryan; sister, Burma (Andy); as well as a lively crew of nieces and nephews who carry on his love of laughter and games. Also surviving are cherished cousins, aunts, uncles, and many friends touched by his generous spirit.
We will miss his laughter and the joy he brought to every gathering. Troy’s seat may be empty, but his spirit lives on in every shared memory and smile.
Special thanks to the care teams at St. Joseph’s Palliative Care Unit, Medicine Hat Cancer Clinic, and Medicine Hat Regional Hospital.
“Family is not an important thing it’s everything.” Michael J. Fox
