Troy H Brassfield
December 27, 2016
Loving husband, father,
grandfather & brother – Tony Harold Brassfield has been called home to heaven
and freed from a long battle with Alzheimer’s.
Troy H. Brassfield passed
away December 27, 2016 at home surrounded by his family. He was born 79 years ago in Stigler, Oklahoma
and raised in Wasco, California. He then
met the love of his life Jeanette Rose Nano and married her over 57 years ago
and they raised their 4 children in Sacramento, CA, Battle Creek, MI, Waldorf,
MD and finally came back to California where they settled in Redlands the last
30 years.
During his life he was an
Airman 1st Class in the Air Force, a police officer in Roseville,
Calif where a photo of him giving a sobriety test made national
newspapers. He then worked as a civilian
for the Air Force until he retired. He
became a lifetime member of the Masons while he lived in Maryland and continued
when they moved to Redlands where he became Grand Master of their chapter. He also worked as their business manager
until he felt his illness was getting the better of him.
He is survived by his devoted
and loving wife Jeanette Rose and even in his illness he never forgot how
special she was to him and she cared for him until he passed. Also survived by his daughter Debra Johnson
(Chuck), daughter Julie Moorman (David), son Samuel Brassfield (Christine), son
Bruce Brassfield (April), sister Phyllis Posey (Ron), 9 grandchildren, 21 great
grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
Troy was an avid reader, hunter,
locksmith and loved working in his yard.
He passed on his thirst of knowledge to his children and taught them to
follow their dreams and if at first you don’t succeed to brush yourself off and
try again.
