- Funeral service was held for Troy David Mabee-Bakken of Blackfalds, AB Monday, November 17, 2003 from Wilson's Funeral Chapel, with Interment at Fairview Cemetery, Lacombe, AB. On Monday, November 10, 2003, Troy was involved in a tragic hunting accident and passed away peacefully in Edmonton, AB on Wednesday November 12. Troy was born in Calgary, AB on September 23, 1974 and was raised in Weyburn and Griffin, Saskatchewan. While growing up Troy was involved in many sports and accumulated many good friends over the years, which was very important to him. As an adult, Troy moved to Red Deer, AB where he met his future wife, Karla Street and they were married in October 1998. Troy's greatest joy was the birth of his two sons, Brody born Dec 2000 and Ryley born April 2003, and the life he shared with Karla. He loved those boys more than life itself and he loved being a father. He was their giant cuddly bear and he had big plans to share with his boys. Troy had a great love for the outdoors and spent much of his spare time hunting, fishing, camping and quading. Troy's first love was farming and he took every opportunity to come home and help his parents at seeding and harvest. He truly enjoyed his job with Accu-Rate and the people he worked with also became his good friends, or as Troy would say, "My buddy". The fishing trip to Queen Charlotte Islands last year, and to northern Saskatchewan this summer were highlights in Troy's life, and he was already talking about next year's trip. Troy was never happier when he was in these elements. Predeceased by his mother Jane Mabee, brother Michael Mabee, grandfathers Melvin Bakken, Clifton Christopherson and Mervin Dreis, he is survived by his loving wife Karla, sons Brody and Ryley, his parents Colen & Janice Bakken, sister Ashley Bakken, brother Marshall Bakken, also Dale (Penny) Mabee (Melissa, Kayla & Trent), grandfather Hugh Mabee, grandmothers, Muriel Bakken, Dorothy Christopherson and Berty-Lou Dreis. Karla's family: parents Bernie & Arleen Street and brother Steven (Airyn) Street. The eulogy was delivered by Troy's uncle, Lyle Bakken and his sister Ashley read a tribute to "our big brother". Active pallbearers were Stacey Lund, Travis Lund, Dan Eddy, Kelly Bakken, Jaret Dulc and Brad Hazen. Although Troy was not allowed enough time on this earth, he did not miss a beat. There was no down time for Troy, he lived for the moment and he lived life to the fullest. Troy was a big boy with a big heart, a soft heart. Troy is not gone, you just need to look at his sons, to know that Troy is still with us. If friends desire, contributions may be made to a trust fund established for Troy's sons at the TD Canada Trust, Lacombe Branch, Lacombe, AB.
