On May 6, Troy finished this life's journey and left for his new adventure. The son of Paul and Carol (Hennings) Knutti, he grew up in Montpelier, ID and then attended the University of Idaho at Moscow. He entered into a decades long career in the mining industry, with various positions including drilling and blasting, safety training, distribution, and finally consulting. This career led him to travel most of the western United States and live in many different towns, where he met amazing people and developed lifelong friendships.

Settling in Deer Park, WA in 2005, Troy continued to be a prankster and enjoyed laughing, hunting and fishing, jet-skiing, dancing, star gazing, family, and grilling up an awesome steak or two. He is survived by his wife of 19 years, Tamara Riggle Knutti of Deer Park, sister Julie (Knutti) Jensen of Montpelier, numerous nieces and nephews, cousins, in-laws and a few alleged out-laws, and assorted pranksters who share his love of a good practical joke. Troy will be missed, but we are celebrating him and his new adventure with joy in our hearts.
