Troy was born September 9, 1938 to George Raymond Chandler and Mary Jeannette Adams Chandler. He was a graduate of Madison County High School. Upon high school graduation, he worked at Southeastern Rubber Company, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line and Eli Whit Company all the while he was pursuing his true passion which was farming.
