In Loving Memory of Best Buddies Global Ambassador Verne Troyer

It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our friend and Best Buddies Global Ambassador, Verne Troyer. Everyone at Best Buddies loved Verne and his incredible spirit. Verne was a huge supporter and advocate for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities for many years. His generosity and kindness is cherished and will always be remembered.

Verne was the kind of person who would help others in need without hesitation. One of my fondest memories was when he attended our Best Buddies Miami Gala and surprised one of our participants with a brand new personalized motorized wheelchair. That is just the kind of person Verne was – a genuine friend with the biggest heart. We were all so proud to call him a friend.

Verne, thank you for your years of dedication to Best Buddies and friendship. You will be missed and forever in our hearts!
