Gregory Joseph Troy Memorial Fund

officers pursuing advancement and careers in criminology, police work, law enforcement, and investigative sciences and grants to support police canine squads.

A 1998 graduate of Middletown High School, Gregory Joseph Troy attended University of Maryland and went on to work in the finance and internet technology field. At age 27, he decided to pursue a career in law enforcement with the Baltimore County Police Department. While he was waiting for his security clearance, Mr. Troy became ill and was diagnosed with stage four cancer. Mr. Troy passed away at the age of 30. He was the husband of Antionette Messina Troy and son of the late Lawrence Joseph Troy and Susan Troy Best. Though his career in law enforcement was never realized, Mr. Troy will help others achieve that goal. In his memory, Mr. Troy’s mother and his brother, Joshua Troy, have established The Gregory Joseph Troy Memorial Fund. The Fund will provide post-secondary scholarships to future and current police officers working towards careers or advancement in criminology, police work, law enforcement and investigative sciences. In addition, grants may be made to support police canine squads to purchase dogs, provide specialized training to dogs or canine police officers, and public education about police work involving canines.

Simon Turner Memorial Fund

Founded by Brent and Talia Turner in memory of their son, Simon, this fund supports positive impacts on children’s lives in Frederick County, such as public recreation initiatives that are available to all.

The Simon Turner Memorial Fund will be used to support the Splash PoinT at Baker Park. This project was inspired by a heartfelt desire to create a safe, welcoming space for everyone to enjoy the water. This project pays tribute to Simon, a special little boy who was captivated by water play. Before his untimely passing in March 2019, Simon was drawn to the creek and the 7th Street Fountain, but these beloved spots weren’t designed for children to safely enjoy the water.

Brent and Talia Turner wanted to honor their son’s memory by adding a meaningful feature to Baker Park—one that would allow families to interact with water, laugh, connect, and create lasting memories. The name ‘The Splash PoinT’ serves as a tribute, with the capital ‘S’ representing Simon and the capital ‘T’ standing for his last name, forever celebrating his joyous spirit and love for playful water experiences in this community space.

The Splash PoinT at Baker Park will be a vibrant and interactive splash pad located in the heart of The City of Frederick, designed to serve as a welcoming and inclusive space for residents and visitors alike.
