Charles “Troy” Edwards, 83 of Leon, OK, went to his heavenly home on September 15, 2026 in Haslet, TX.

Graveside services will take place at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, September 18th, at Sunset Cemetery with Pastor Gregg Shaw officiating.

Troy was born December 23, 1942, to Clarence and Mandy (Romine) Edwards in Bowie, Texas. He retired from Lockheed Martin as a master machinist and Siemens as a turbine mechanic. He was always the most positive human. He was known for his famous saying, “This is the best day ever. Couldn’t ask for anything better.”

Troy viewed the sunrise over his fields as a daily blessing. He was rarely seen without his faithful Australian Shepherd, Daisy Crockett, who sat by his truck, walked the fence line by his side, and remained his faithful companion and friend until the very end. She along with his family were by his side when he passed.

Troy will be remembered for his positive outlook, his love for his family, which was the most important thing in his life, and his appreciation for the simple blessings of each day.

He was preceded in death by his loving parents; siblings Hayward Edwards, Wiley Edwards, Willie Merle Edwards, McMillan.

Troy is survived by his two sons, Troy Dean Edwards and wife Shannon of Haslet, TX, and Wesley Edwards and wife Tina of Woodward, Ok; grandchildren, T.J. Edwards and wife Sarah of Collinsville, TX, Hunter Edwards of Addison, TX, Paxton Edwards Turner and husband Tyler of Hico, TX and Chase Edwards of Nocona, TX; great-grandchildren, Ryder and Easton Edwards; step-grandchildren, Micheal Sundeen and wife Kalee, Brittlynn Sundeen, Icelynn Sundeen, and Kinley Peace; and step-great-grandson, Swazy Sundeen. He is also survived by his sister, Hazel and husband Derryl Evans of O’fallo, of Missouri, along with other family and friends who loved him dearly.

Arrangements entrusted to the White Family Funeral Home of Bowie, TX.
