IN HONOR OF THE LIFE OF TROY DAVIS

HON. BLAKE D. MOORE

Monday, July 19, 2021
Mr. MOORE of Utah. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life of Police Corporal Troy C. Davis, a true servant of the community who passed away suddenly and tragically on July 12, 2021.
Born August 15, 1970, Troy lived a life defined by service to his community and his family. Corporal Davis served for over two decades as a member of the Vernal City Police Department with the utmost care. Through his actions, he demonstrated that our law enforcement truly cares for members of our communities.
Corporal Davis took on a unique role by serving the younger generation. The Vernal City Police Department partnered with the Uintah School District to establish a School Resource Officer position to keep local schools safe. As the School Resource Officer at both Vernal Middle School and Uintah Middle School, Corporal Davis's work ensured that the students of Vernal had a safe learning environment. All who knew Corporal Davis knew of his genuine care for the students he protected and served. His passing leaves a tremendous void in the community.
On July 16 and 17, Vernal came together to honor the life and service of Corporal Davis. With his police vehicle parked at the Uintah Conference Center for tribute, members of the community left signs, notes, cards, and flowers to honor his life and his decades of service. His funeral was held on Saturday, and it provided all those who knew him an opportunity to celebrate his life of selfless service.
Corporal Davis was a lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In addition to his service as a member of the Vernal City Police Department, Corporal Davis served an LDS mission in Sydney, Australia. He was defined by his faithful service to his church and community.
Corporal Davis is survived by his wife, Mariel (Goodrich) Davis; his children, Hayden Troy (Erin) Davis, Aliya Madeline Rich, Breanna Marie
(Caden) Nerdin, Ashlen Layne Davis, Randon Bryan Davis, and Taegan Troy Davis; and his grandchildren, Kayson Troy Davis and Noah Scott Davis. I join the Davis family and the entire community in mourning his loss
