Omri Virgil Troy, a beloved resident of Atlanta, Georgia, tragically lost his life on June 6, 2024, in Warner Robins, GA, after being struck by a drunk driver. Omri, born on November 29, 1987, at Grady Hospital, was known for his infectious humor and dedication to his family. He was an active content creator on TikTok and Instagram, often making people laugh with his natural comedic talent.
His untimely death has left his family and community in deep sorrow. Omri was a devoted father, constantly sharing his pride in his children, especially his eldest son’s athletic achievements. His sudden passing has been a shock, particularly as it occurred a few months before his 37th birthday.
Due to the unexpected nature of his death, life insurance was not in place. To ensure Omri receives a proper farewell, his family, led by Brigitta Burrell, has organized a GoFundMe campaign to raise $8,025 to cover funeral and memorial expenses. The campaign highlights the urgency of the situation, with a deadline set for June 18.
China Burrell, another family member, also took to Facebook, urging the community to contribute to the fundraiser: "Hey FB! Help us get the funds together to send Omri off the right way."
Brigitta Burrell shared heartfelt words on the GoFundMe page, describing Omri’s love for Atlanta and his commitment to bettering himself for his children. She expressed the family’s devastation at losing Omri so suddenly and appealed to the community for support to cover the funeral costs, which include everything from the casket to a state-certified escort.
The community’s response has been crucial in this time of grief, showcasing the power of collective support in honoring Omri’s legacy and easing the burden on his grieving family.
