“So sad. I’m confused as why no autopsy since the cause is unknown. Something similar happened in my family and they did one and we had no say,” another user said.

“Loved his show. So very sad to hear of his passing,” someone else commented, while another wrote. “Oh wow my condolences to his family and friends so sorry for your loss prayers on healing your broken hearts.”

Shafer’s death was kept mostly private until his obituary on Legacy.com was discovered by news outlets this week.

According to the obituary, “Troy Dean Shafer, age 38, of Harborcreek, passed away unexpectedly, on Sunday, April 28, 2019. He was born in Erie, on Aug. 18, 1980, the son of Timothy and Janet Shafer.”

“Troy was a 1999 graduate of Harbor Creek High School and graduated from Penn State Behrend School of Business,” the obituary added. “When he first moved to Nashville, he was a big fan of, and sang with, his dear friend, Billy Falcon. Troy was a gifted contractor, and was well-known for his restoration work on historical homes with his company, Nashville Flipped.”

“Troy’s faith was an important part of his life. He also loved the music of Elvis Presley and Huey Lewis and The News,” the obituary continued. “He was an avid golfer, and enjoyed Erie’s chicken wings. Troy treasured time with his cat, Marlow, and his dogs, Theo and Frankie.”

Shafer has already been laid to rest in a private burial ceremony.
