Troy Douglas Leech, 53, of Clinton, IA, formerly of Morrison, IL, passed away unexpectedly Friday, March 27, 2026, at his home.
Troy was born June 7, 1972, in Morrison, to Douglas and Judy (Boelkins) Leech. He was educated in the Morrison grade schools and graduated from Morrison High School in 1991. Troy worked in auto sales for several dealerships before his career at Nestlé Purina in Clinton. In his free time, Troy enjoyed fantasy football and was active in a local dart league. A devoted sports fan, he especially loved the Green Bay Packers–despite growing up in a Chicago Bears household. He had a notable attachment to his car and took great pride in it. Troy was rarely seen without his beloved dog, Maverick, who accompanied him nearly everywhere he went.
Survivors include his son, Collin Douglas Sanders of Bloomington, IL; parents, Doug and Judy Leech of Morrison; sisters, Michelle (John) Moshure of Mt. Carroll, IL, and Suzi (Mike) Mills of Morrison; brother, Sean (Marcia) Leech of Morrison; many nieces and nephews; several aunts, uncles, and cousins. He will be greatly missed by his loyal dog, Maverick Douglas and his special friend, Charity Henak of Clinton.
