Troy Cromwell Obituary

Troy Cromwell

Concord, NH - Troy Cromwell, 50 of Concord, passed away on July 19, 2024 after a brief illness, surrounded by his beloved family. Born in East Orange, New Jersey, Troy was raised in River Vale New Jersey where he graduated from Pasacack Valley High School, excelling in football, track and field, even breaking a school record in the pole vault. He later attended college Devry University where he studied engineering and later, also took courses through Berklee's online program. He moved to New Hampshire in 2001 where he married his wife Penny in 2003 ultimately settling in Concord, NH in 2008.

Volunteering his time came naturally to Troy, something that began with coaching his daughter Jordan's softball team and continued to have an impact throughout the entire community in a myriad of ways. Troy was an accomplished digital and media artist, DJ, and photographer who enjoyed supporting organizations and events throughout the greater Concord area by lending his expertise as a sound technician for the Concord Multicultural Festival, and at rallies for Black Lives Matter of NH, and for the Reproductive Freedom Fund of NH. Additionally, he enjoyed providing his services as a DJ for events at the Bank of NH Stage- but counted as his favorite event DJ-ing the Concord Prom in 2022, when his daughter Jordan was a senior. A talented musician, Troy also sat in as a keyboard player for local musical groups any chance he could, honoring the important role music played in his life and his father's legacy as a jazz musician.

Troy loved the Concord community and took special pride in his work as a member of the staff of the Capitol Center for the Arts and the Bank of NH Stage where he began as a volunteer usher before joining the staff. He was an indispensable member of the CCA team and often could be found beaming in the lobby or from the back of the house on a show night as he watched patrons excitedly enter the theatre. His colleagues will dearly miss his skills, his humor and his ability to make them laugh over email and Teams chats.

Troy is survived by his beloved wife Penny Cromwell, his daughter Jordan Cromwell, his stepchildren Taylor Bridges, Haily Leipold and Gage Leipold, his mother Dolores Cromwell-Kraft and stepfather Alfonso Kraft. He was predeceased by his father Theodore Cromwell in 1995.

There will be a celebration of Troy's life at a date to be announced later in the fall. Donations in Troy's memory may be made to the Reproductive Freedom Fund of NH www.reprofund.org.

I was shocked to read that Troy had passed. We went to school in River Vale together. Just one of the nicest kids in school. My heart broke. May you rest in peace.

I benefited so much by having Troy as a friend, we shared earbuds listening to a Sony walkman at the lunch table, he always found new and better metal to listen to.... Prong springs to mind. I've thought of him often over the years as he taught me life lessons in my early teens: you can excel at anything if you work at it, music is magical, and embrace and share your heritage and we can all be meaningful friends. I am sad I did not get a chance to say thank you, and the world will never see such Tempest video game skills ever again. Thank you, Troy.

A great kid and childhood friend. Lived up the street from me and we used to BMX freestyle. He was always the better one of us two.

Troy's obituary photo caught my eye, the photo speaks volumes about him. I didn't know him but it's obvious he touched so many lives in such positive ways. He shared his talents with others, leaving footprints on many hearts. A life well lived.

I am in shock! I have known Troy since our adolescent days. His dad was good friends with a gym teacher in the school my mom taught in, in Englewood, Nj. So when they moved to RV, We just had a connection from day 1. He was like a brother to me in HS. I was his Uber and we had such great talks about driving to and from school. I´ll have to find a picture where he wore my tennis uniform and I wore his football uniform for Halloween.he even came to visit me in college a few times! Troy, every time I think of you and talk of you, a smile comes across my face. I am broken hearted for your wife, daughters and your mom. You truly were a special person. I´m sure your daughters have that special piece of you in them. I will miss your sporadic posts on FB. May your memory be a blessing.

My heart breaks for ALL who knew this precious soul. I haven't seen Troy in years, but he was ALWAYS there for me in my darkest hours. I will never forget growing up with him and talking about music and just everything. He was the coolest, funniest, smartest, most talented human I've ever encountered. Rest up sweet Troy. May all who have been blessed with your very presence be forever granted with beautiful memories.

I've known Troy for what seems like forever. I even catered his wedding. He was just the nicest guy you could meet. So fun to work with. Glowing personality. Great Dad. We would walk home after our shifts were done to make sure we both stayed safe. I'm so glad we were able to reunite a couple of years ago. My sincerest condolences to Penny and the kids. Troy will be very missed.
