Troy Briggs

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Troy Cordell Briggs on January 13th, 2023, at the age of 58, surrounded by his loving family at the Grand River Hospital, Kitchener. Born in Guelph General Hospital and raised in Erin, Ontario, and later moved to Haliburton County where he made his home for over 30 years.  He is predeceased by his parents Sandra (2000) and Ken Briggs (2008).

Cherished father of Kendra (Nathan), Larry (Brooke), and Kenny (Taylor).  Dearly loved by his grandchildren Hartlee, Blaeklynn, Gabriel, and the newest addition to the family Loxton.  A much loved brother to Tammy Briggs Barnhart and brother-in-law John.  He will be lovingly remembered by Kelly and Tanya. Also, fondly remembered by his nephews Cody, Ryan, and nieces Marissa and Brianna.  Troy will be missed by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Troy became an avid hunter and fisherman following in the footsteps of his father and his maternal grandfather. He was happiest when in his boat fishing or in the woods hunting. He certainly passed on his love of the outdoors to his children and his sons accompanied him on many fishing and hunting excursions.  He was a devoted Maple Leafs fan and loved following all the NHL teams. As well, he thoroughly enjoyed watching NASCAR racing and keeping “tabs” on the driver’s and their teams.  He loved cooking and creating new meals and recipes with many different gadgets that he acquired over the years. We will miss him dearly.
