Obituary

? In memory of Mr. Troy Grigsby Sr. who was born on October 25, 1934 in Holly Grove, Arkansas to Roy and Velma Grigsby.
After graduating from Cass Technical High School in Detroit, he was determined to earn a collage degree. Troy had a Bachelor and Masters of Art degree in Urban Planning from Wayne State University. He was the Director of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development in the Oklahoma City office until his retirement.

In 1996, Troy met and married his loving wife Oneida Grigsby. They were married for 22 years. Troy and Oneida loved to travel around the world. He was a proud member of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. Also an active member of the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer where he was a member of the Diocesan Council and Vestry.

Troy was preceded in death by his parents. He left to treasure his memory his loving wife Oneida Grigsby; his daughters Shari Perkins (Randall), Gloria Grigsby, Alexis McIntosh (Prentiss), son Troy Grigsby Jr. and his step-daughter Charla Christian, his brothers, Herbert (Inez Pearson) and Roy Grigsby (Amy), and his sister Tresscella McCoy (Kenneth) and his grandchildren, Elijah McGuffin, Indya McGuffin, RJ Perkins, Nehemiah Perkins, and Taylor McIntosh. He will be dearly missed by his brother and lifetime friend, Harold Brown (Martha), and many more nieces, nephews, cousins and friends that were like family.



I'm Always With You

?When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do,
You mustn't tie yourself to me with too many tears,
Be thankful we had so many good years.
I gave you my love, and you can only guess
How much you've given me in happiness.
I thank you for the love that you have shown,
But now it is time I traveled alone.
So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
That it is only for a while that we must part,
So treasure the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away for life goes on.
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All my love around you soft and clear
And then, when you come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and a "Welcome Home"
