Raymond A Troik

Raymond "Ray" Troik, 84, passed away peacefully on May 5, 2026, after a courageous battle with long-term health issues. Born in Fresno, California, on May 22, 1941, to Al and Clara Troik, Ray grew up as an only child with a lifelong passion for hockey, football, and skiing. A man of deep intellect and service, Ray earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Philosophy from Marquette University. He then dedicated 20 years to the United States Air Force as a clinical psychologist, retiring at the rank of Major. His military career spanned the globe, including deployments to Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Alaska, Oman, Iraq, Germany, South Dakota, and K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base, where he met his beloved wife of 34 years, Rosita Ebron. In retirement, Ray loved taking Rose on trips all over the world, experiencing different cultures and tasting life to its fullest. Ray remained fiercely dedicated to his community and hobbies. He was a highly active member of the Garden Railways Club, Vegas MAC Users Group, Knights of Columbus, Tesla Owners Club, and the Lions Club. Known for his soft heart, Ray spent his life serving the church and helping those in need. Even in his final days, despite enduring severe physical pain, his steadfast spirit kept him active in his volunteer work and club meetings. Ray loved deeply, was deeply loved in return, and will be missed by all. Service Information: • Viewing: May 21, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Affordable Cremation & Burial Service, 2127 W Charleston Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89102. • Funeral Mass: May 22, 2026 (Ray’s 85th birthday), from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM at Christ the King Catholic Church, 4925 S Torrey Pines Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89118. • Interment: St. Therese Mission Catholic Church/Cemetery. This will take place at a later date with close family friends. God’s Garden God looked around His garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He knew that you were suffering. He knew that you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road getting rough and the hills were hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids and whispered 'peace is thine.' He put His arms around you and He lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best. If tears could build a stairway, and heartaches could make a lane, we'd walk a path to Heaven and bring you home again.
