Troy MacNeil

It is with heavy hearts and much sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved father, son, broth er, uncle and friend Christopher ‘ Troy’ MacNeil on Feb. 15, 2015. Troy was born Feb. 3, 1978, in Reserve Mines, Nova Scotia, to Frances and Wil- fred (Metcalfe) MacNeil.

Troy and his family made the move to Fort McMurray in 2007 to further Troy’s career. He was hired by Sunset Salvage and given the opportunity to complete his training for heavy equipment operator.

In 2008, he took a position with Aecon Mining, through the local union 955. Troy quickly moved up to become foreman due to his knowledge and work ethic.

Troy’s main goal was always to provide a good life for his two daughters.

Troy had a passion for the great outdoors and loved quadding and music, a passion that will live on in the lives of his girls.

He will be forever missed by Diane Maclean and his precious daughters Hailey and Ainsley MacNeil, Fort McMurray, Alta.; his parents Frances and Wilfred MacNeil, Reserve Mines, N.S.; siblings Belinda ( Danny MacKenzie) MacNeil, Glace Bay, N. S., Helen ( Paul) Brown, Fort McMurray, Alta., Craig (Dawn McLaine) MacNeil, Howie Centre, N. S.; and nephews Chad, Matthew, Shaun, Caleb and Chase, as well as a large circle of family and friends.

Cremation has taken place. A private service will be held at a later date.
