Troy was the son of Bob and Carmen Pack. He and his sister Alana were hit and killed by a car while they were riding their bikes home from getting ice cream with their mother. The driver fled the scene, but was later caught and charged with their murders. It is believed she was under the influence of drugs when she hit Troy and Alana.

Troy was named after his father's alma mater, USC. They both followed USC teams' progress and attended games together whenever they had the chance. Troy was also an avid fan of the 49ers and the Oakland A's, whose uniform he wore proudly as catcher and third baseman for his Tassajara Valley Little League team.

Sports were far from Troy's only interest. He loved to spend time in the library, to work on art projects, to read, and to write poetry and stories. Troy's mom, Carmen, inspired this creativity and also his scholastic achievements. Every year Troy was one of the top students in his class at Sycamore Valley Elementary School, and he particularly excelled at math.

The bond between Troy and his dad, Bob, was an especially strong one. Not only did his dad coach him in most sports, he was also a trusted confidante who found it difficult to "ground" Troy since they enjoyed so many activities together. Troy was likewise very close to his paternal grandparents, whom he called "Pop Pop" and "Ta Ta." He loved to spend the night at their house because he knew they would spoil him.

Though innately shy, his considerate nature and warm heart won Troy many friends. Many of his happiest moments were spent playing video games or just hanging out with his close friends. Troy was always there for his friends and classmates when they needed help, but above all he was protective of his little sister Alana (despite his playful teasing of her).

Troy was buried wearing his A's uniform.
