💔🕊️ Troy “Boogie” DelaTorres Jr.: A Father’s Final Fight Was Fueled by Love for His Family

Some battles are fought not because someone is afraid of the end, but because they are holding onto the people they love most.

For Troy “Boogie” DelaTorres Jr., every extra moment mattered.

At only 30 years old, Troy faced an unimaginable journey after being diagnosed with stage 4 gastric cancer that had spread to other parts of his body. But throughout his fight, his focus was never only on himself.

His greatest hope was to have more time with his family.

More moments with his wife, Jessica.

More memories with his daughters.

And one dream above all others—to meet his baby girl, who was expected to arrive on his 31st birthday.

Troy held onto that hope through every difficult day.

He continued fighting because his family was his reason to keep going.

Those who knew Troy describe him as someone impossible to forget. He was energetic, funny, protective, and full of personality. He loved making people laugh, spending time outdoors, fishing, cooking for the people around him, and working on cars.

He was the kind of person who filled a room with his presence.

Even during his hardest moments, Troy tried to hold onto the things that made him who he was—the laughter, the love, and the connections that meant everything to him.

His family shared that Troy was afraid of leaving this world, not because he feared what came next, but because he loved his family so deeply.

He wanted to be there.

He wanted to watch his daughters grow.

He wanted to hold his newborn baby girl.

But after months of fighting, Troy’s journey came to an end.

His family shared the heartbreaking news that he had pᴀssed away, leaving behind a wife, three daughters, and countless people who will forever miss him.

For Jessica, the days ahead will carry a pain that words cannot describe. She will welcome their baby girl while carrying the memory of the father who fought so hard to meet her.

For Troy’s daughters—Mailanie, Analayah, and little Analise Faith—his love will remain part of their story forever.

Although he may not have been able to create all the memories he dreamed of, he left behind something powerful: a legacy of love.

His family will remember the jokes, the smiles, the protection, and the endless love he gave them.

🕊️💙 Troy “Boogie” DelaTorres Jr. was more than a cancer patient. He was a husband, a father, a son, and a friend.

He was a man who loved fiercely and fought with everything he had.

May his memory continue to bring comfort to Jessica, his daughters, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Rest peacefully, Troy. Your love will never be forgotten. ❤️
