Troy Hall

Young, vibrant, bright, brainy, discerning, studious, intelligent, loving, caring - a few adjectives that describe TROY. TROY, known to everyone as BUSTA, was born in Jamaica Hospital in Queens, NY on October 14, 2003, to the parentage of Jequana Hall and Troy Brown. BUSTA relocated to Anniston, Alabama with his mother at the age of ten months. In Anniston, in his growing years, he attended Norwood Headstart, then Randolph Park Elementary School. After grade school he was off to Anniston Middle School. Busta continued his education at Anniston High School where he played on the Anniston High School Varsity Basketball Team for four years. He helped his team win the Statewide Championship in 2022. He graduated from Anniston High School on May 26, 2022. During the summer of 2022 he was gainfully employed at the Coca-Cola Bottling Company. BUSTA confessed Christ as his Personal Saviour and was baptized at Greater Calvary Baptist Church in Anniston under the leadership of Pastor Hersery Taylor. BUSTA lived life to the fullest, although a short life; hanging out with his family and friends. He was especially fond of his brothers, Malik, Jequan, Jayden and their friend Livy, along with his little cousins Bryson, Syamira, Poodah and Leo, who loved him very much. BUSTA had future plans to attend college after taking a year's break from High School. That was his plan. God, who holds the FUTURE, had other plans for BUSTA. God needed one more basketball player to complete the Team of Life for the upcoming game in His Heavenly Sports Arena. He considered the fact that BUSTA played on the 2022 State Championship Team just a year ago. He knew that BUSTA, with his outstanding personality, got along very well with all of his teammates. God looked among the players, and before God could ask him, BUSTA whispered to God. " Lord, send me, I'll go." On Saturday, April 15, 2023 at approximately 11:30 p.m., BUSTA answered the call to play on the Team of Life in God's Heavenly Sports Arena where every game will be a victory. Just in case anyone would like to attend the game, the Arena is located in Heaven on Blessings Boulevard. ADMISSION IS FREE. BUSTA's passing has saddened all of our hearts, for to know him was to love him, and he was loved by so many. He is going to be sorely missed by all. BUSTA's precious memories will forever linger in the hearts of his mother, Jequana Hall of Anniston, his father, Troy Brown of Brooklyn, NY, his three brothers: Osmond, Jequan and Jayden; three uncles, Bradley Hall of Pennsylvia, Bryan Zellars and David Brown both of Brooklyn, NY, two aunts, Symone Brown and Karin Brown of Brooklyn, NY; great grandmother, Lady Barbara Zellars, great grandfather, Pastor Grady Zellars (also known as grandpa) of Anniston, AL; his great aunts: Jeneen Barber, Garletta Davis of Brooklyn, NY and Sharon Springs of New York, NY; two great uncles; James Anthony Williams and Erroll Lamar Williams of Brooklyn, NY. Fred Hawkins played a major role in Busta's upbringing and Malik Williams and MeMe Howard grew up in the same household as brother and sister to Busta as well. Special cousins: Tytianna Davis, who was his babysitter in New York and his uncle Bradley continued babysitting in Anniston where Tytianna left off, his little cousins Bryson, Syamira, Poodah and Leo whom he was extremely fond of, a host of other aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends. Coach Brown, whom Busta held dear to his heart, and the entire Anniston High School Varsity Basketball Team and his Church Family as well, will cherish his fond memories. Those that preceded him in death: his two grandmothers, Melissa Wilson and Certina Brown, his grandfather, Vincent Brown. In case you are wondering if any family members are going to attend the upcoming game, the answer is YES. Grandma Melissa, grandma Celina, grandpa Vincent, great, great grandma Gladys, great great grandpa George and even Bigma; aunts Anngeanette, Georgia, Faye, Alma and Melinda; cousins Terrious, Perry and Kim - WILL ALL BE THERE CHEERING YOU ON. Busta, although you are no longer with us, we will always love you and we will forever cherish the nineteen years God loaned you to us.
