Troy Anthony Haynes Jr was born September 22, 2000, the eldest son of Troy Sr and Christina Haynes. He departed this life peaceably with his mother and father by his side and MD Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas in Houston, Texas.
Troy was always an exceptional young man who excelled both academically and athletically. Troy attended the various schools in Woodbridge School District all 12 years of school. In the classroom, Troy maintained honor roll, graduating with a 3.34 GPA and was a member of the National Technical Honor Society. He also received numerous accolades for earing academic honors while earning varsity letters in football, basketball and baseball. As unassuming as he was in stature, his presence was a force to be reckoned with on the field as a left-handed quarterback with a strong arm and a great running ability. What he started at the age of 7 with Woodbridge Pop Warner Program developed into Troy serving as a four-year starting quarterback and culminated with two DIAA Division II State Championships for the Blue Raiders (2016 and 2018)! Throughout his high school career, Troy received the following recognition: 4-year letterman in Football, Basketball and Baseball; Captain of the Blue Raiders Football Team, Captain of the Blue Raiders Basketball Team; All Conference in Football and Basketball; All State in Football and Basketball; 2019 Blue-Gold Game Participant in Football and Basketball and DIAA Scholar Athlete. In Delaware High School Football, its rare to have a four-year starting it was more than skill and determination on the field that allowed this gentle giant to lead the team to these great achievements – it was his leadership, his passion for the game, and his love for people, especially his brothers in blue. The bond he developed with those he played with was far greater than sports. Their bond reached beyond friendship – they became brothers who will forever bleed blue. Troy’s athletic ability, academic accomplishments, high character, and leadership qualities earned him admission into the University of Mount Union in Ohio on an athletic scholarship where he had planned to attend this fall until unexpectedly being diagnosed with state four kidney cancer in April 2019.
Doctors told Troy that his life expectancy was only for another two or three weeks when he was diagnosed, but Troy was determined to fight. His positive outlook and perseverance united not just the Woodbridge community, but it quickly became a fight that our entire region embraced – regardless of gender, age, race, ethnicity, education, or economic background, showing love and support to Troy with t-shirts branded “Fight Like Four” and holding their hands reflective of Troy’s jersey number, #4. Despite the diagnosis, the treatments, the surgeries, and other medical testing and procedures, Troy kept fighting, remained in good spirits, and kept that infectious smile one his face. Like the fighter he is, defied the adverse reports that were given to him! He was told he would not live past 2-3 weeks. He lived five months past what they expected. They said he wouldn’t live to see his high school graduation. Not only did he live to receive his high school diploma, he fought to ensure he was at the graduation ceremony and chose to walk across the stage as opposed to being pushed in a wheelchair to prove to us he could. They said he wouldn’t be strong enough to travel and wanted to give him comfort care. He choose to fight and regained enough strength to fly to Texas to receive medical treatment at MD Anderson. They said he would not live to see his next birthday. Sunday, September 22nd, he celebrated his 19th birthday surrounded by family and loved ones, making it, according to him, “the best birthday I ever had!” While in Texas receiving treatment, Troy and his family had to opportunity to spend time together as a family – away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life of work, school, and athletics. He had the opportunity to share quality time with his parents and spent the summer making memories with his siblings. Troy loved his siblings so much that he made it a point to hear from them before taking his final rest. These last five months will always be held dear – it time spent strengthening the love and bond that make them the Haynes family our community has known and loved for over 20 years. This love and support, along with that of his siblings, his football coaches and brothers, members of the community, and the Philadelphia Eagles players that he has remained in contact with have been strength to him in the toughest of times. That experience was by far the most priceless and precious time spent on the most important things that should be cherished – life, love, and family.
He is preceded in death by his grandfather, Christopher Brewer and two uncles, Lindon Haynes Jr. and Michael Brewer.
He leaves to celebrate his life and legacy: parents Troy Sr. and Christina Haynes; one sister: Alonnah; four brothers: Trey, Jeremiah, Jaylyn, and Josiah: his foster siblings; Leon, Kyle, Tyra, Juwan, Tyler, Terryon, Maurica, Xavier, and a host of other foster siblings; grandparents: Lindon and Doreen Haynes, Jerome and Glenda Houston, and Mary Ross; three aunts: Kashammina (Dave) Ross, Kimberly (Fruquion) Houston-Thompson, and Felicia (Shawn) Byers; six uncles: Albert (Tina) Haynes, Prince (Serita) Haynes, Qwantico (Mary) Ross, Christopher Brewer, Rashiid Brewer, and Jerome (Kim) Houston; Godparents: Chana Kane, Mary Ross, and Shawn Byers; Godbrothers: Kani, Oakland, Ricky, and Trez’mon Kane, Michael Brewer, Elijah Haynes, and Gabriel Wescott; his football brothers, and a host of great aunts, great uncles, cousins, friends, loved ones, and beloved Woodbridge family.
