Kyle Troxtell

Kyle Wesley Troxtell, 48, of Pottsboro, passed away on October 30, 2019 at home.

A Celebration of Life will be held Wednesday, November 6 from 3 pm – 5 pm at Dannel Funeral Home in Sherman, TX.   The family asks you to come celebrate Kyle, the impact and joy he brought to others, and his life by sharing stories.  If unable to attend or share, Drew McByde is collecting narratives.  Please email your contribution to the celebration to drewmcbryde@gmail.com.    In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Kyle’s memory to your Veteran’s Support Organization of choice.

Kyle was born in Sherman, TX to Cles (C.A) Troxtell and Laurel Shirnel Troxtell on February 9, 1971.   He graduated from Howe High School in 1989 and finished his Engineering Technician Certification from Grayson College in 1995.  Kyle married the love of his life,  Cindy Jennings Hestand on March 6, 2001, in Sherman, TX.  They have two wonderful children Samantha Hestand (29) and Hunter Troxtell (18).   He worked as an Engineering Technician for Texas Instruments for 26 years. 

Kyle was an avid Veteran supporter and dedicated the rebuilding of a 2003 Ford F350 in their honor.  Freedom represented the wounded Veterans when they returned from service and is a symbol of the struggles they may have healing and adjusting to civilian life.  She had to be stitched up, repaired, has scars, but in the end, Freedom stands as strong as the Veterans she honors.    

Kyle is preceded in death by his grandparents Mac (Bill) McBryde, Nelma McBryde,  Clessie Troxtell Sr, and Anne Luerene Troxtell.

Kyle is survived by his wife Cindy Troxtell, children Samantha Hestand and Hunter Troxtell. Parents Cles (C.A.) Troxtell and Laurel Shirnel Troxtell, sister Tonya Troxtell and her children Autumn Wasden and AJ Johnson, sister Casey Weinmann, her husband Josh Weinmann, and their children Griffyn Weinmann, Gradin Weinman, and Sicileigh Weinmann. 

Kyle’s family wishes to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who reached out and offered prayers, assistance, and sympathies.
