Troy Edam Hosmer, III

Troy “Bud” Hosmer, age 68, passed away peacefully at home on May 13, 2026, surrounded by loving family.

A proud graduate of Minor High School’s Class of 1975, Bud dedicated 22 years of his life to serving his country in the United States Navy. After his military career, he spent 17 successful years in sales with Spray Equipment Company before retiring about three years ago.

Bud never met a stranger. Known for his humor, quick wit, storytelling, and natural ability to make people feel welcome, he left a lasting impression everywhere he went. He deeply loved his family and took pride in being a husband, father, grandfather, and friend.

He is survived by his loving wife, Sherry; first son Troy Hosmer with wife Kyla and his only granddaughter Shayla; and second son Chris Hosmer; his sisters, Wanda St. John and Nancy Schoen; his stepdaughter, Tori Farris, and stepson, Matt Farris; and many extended family members and friends who will cherish his memory.

In accordance with Bud’s wishes, there will be no formal funeral service. He was cremated, and his ashes will be respectfully returned to the ocean in a traditional private burial-at-sea naval ceremony.

We salute you with a final “Fair winds and following seas.”
