Troy J. Bettis, 55 of Overland Park, Kansas passed away on January 1, 2021. Troy was born on July 4, 1965 to Duaine and Lyla Bettis. Troy spent his childhood in Belleville, Kansas with his twin brother Tony and his older sister Terri. After graduating from Belleville High School in 1983 he attended The University of Kansas where he became a lifelong Jayhawk fan, made enduring friendships and met his future wife. He began his long and respected career in banking and finance in 1989 in Kansas City. He married Catherine (Kay) in 1990. They had two children, daughter, Bailey and son, Joel.
