Troy Rebel

Troy Lee Rebel, 60, passed away on September 4, 2024, in Platte City, Missouri. Born on September 9, 1963, in Ness City, Kansas, to Darlene Werth and Ralph Rebel, Troy spent his childhood keeping his parents on their toes while making countless memories with his siblings, Jay, Penny, and Jeff.

As an adult, Troy completed his apprenticeship in 1989 and devoted over 30 years to his career as a dedicated Lineman and Supervisor for Westar Energy. His strong work ethic helped keep power flowing to countless communities. Known for his tireless drive, Troy never let the grass grow under his feet. His colleagues admired his loyalty, grit, and willingness to lend a hand at a moment’s notice. Troy truly embraced life, whether he was cruising the open road with the Steel Horses Motorcycle Club in Kansas City or finding peace at Wilson Lake with a fishing pole in hand. His love for adventure was matched only by his passion for the Kansas City Chiefs, where he was known for his over-the-top high fives to any fan lucky enough to be nearby.

Troy’s adventurous spirit extended beyond the road and water. He loved the thrill of jumping out of airplanes, traveling the country, and relaxing at the beach with his daughter Adrea in Florida. He had a knack for bringing joy to any situation, even if that meant showing off his impromptu dance moves in an airport baggage claim. At home, Troy was passionate about gardening and a canning connoisseur, often sharing his famous salsa with friends and family. But what he loved most was showing off his son Tyler’s three beautiful grandchildren, who lovingly referred to him as Papa Troy. Troy’s love for his family was unwavering.

He is survived by his father, Ralph (Bonnie) Rebel; his children, Adrea Rebel (Jamie) Garrison, Tyler (Tiffany) Rebel, Macie (Cory) Rebel-Kidwell, and Olivia Rebel; and his beloved grandchildren, Kinsley, Kasen, and Crew Rebel and Emilia and Ezra Rebel-Kidwell. His warmth, laughter, and love for his family will be remembered by all who knew him.

His mother Darlene Williams passed away on September 20, 2024
