A McDavid resident has passed away from injuries he received in a December 8 traffic crash on Highway 29.

Family members said 44-year old Troy Bryon Ard passed away at a Pensacola hospital. He was ejected from his vehicle during a wreck on Highway 29 in front of the McDavid Volunteer Fire Department.

    We loved him and miss him already so much. Thanks for all the prayers and support. I wouldn’t trade the last ten years I had with him for the world. If I had things my way he’d still be with us today and many days to come.

    Prayers for the family and friends. I know this is heart breaking. Been though this sort of thing 35 years ago.
