Troy Dennis McIlwaine, 23, sadly left this world far too soon on Friday, August 4th, 2017. Born to David and May-Britt (McCarty) McIlwaine on April 12, 1994 in Lancaster, PA. He was greatly loved by his brothers Ross & Grant and grandparents Dennis and Ria McCarty of Spring Hill, Florida and Dr. William and the late Melva McIlwaine of Millersville, PA and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Troy's 100-watt smile lit up every room and heart, especially during his shifts at Universal Athletic Club. A 2013 graduate of Manheim Township High School and current Millersville University student, Troy loved studying government & philosophy and was a brother in the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity.

Troy loved his boxer dog Diesel, skateboarding, snowboarding, kayaking, ice hockey, and writing. He had an incredible ability to connect with anyone and had great compassion for others.
