Troy Anthony Damelio, affectionately known as Troy-Troy or Baby T, passed away in his mother’s arms surrounded by family and friends, on Thursday, April 26, 2012 at the age of 4 years.

The son of Joe and Melinda James Damelio, Troy was born on April 16, 2008 in Chandler, Oklahoma.

Like any 4 year old, Troy loved playing with his family and friends, especially Dylan, Krae Krae, Timothy, and Jeriah. You would often find him playing in the dirt, riding his bike, playing his harmonica or singing. Troy loved going to church with his mommy and daddy, learning about the Lord, being around the Brethren and singing loudly, especially his favorite song “Marching in the Light of God.”

His parents will cherish the special memories of being able to read stories to Troy and the joy it brought him in hearing his daddy reading the Bible to him. Many will remember the joy on his face every time they saw him visit his Grandma Judy, working with his dad’s power tools {especially his electric drill}, but most of all, Troy being a big brother!!

Survivors include his little brother, Luke Aaron Damelio; parents, Joe and Melinda Damelio; grandparents, Judy James of Lexington, Oklahoma; Jane Damelio of Alturas, California; and Lynn Damelio of Bainbridge Island, Washington; aunts and uncles, Shelly Nere of Purcell, Oklahoma; Daniel James of Springfield, Oregon; Michael James of Hillsboro, Oregon; Angela Fitzjarrell of Creswell, Oregon; Jason James of Blanchard, Oklahoma; Brooke Pebley of El Dorado Hills, California; and Bonnie Damelio of Alturas, California; many cousins and friends.

Troy was preceded in death by grandfather, Daniel James and two uncles, Luke James and Richard James.

Burial will follow in the Parkland Cemetery, Parkland, Oklahoma.
