Troy Albert Kunkle - An execution in Texas

Troy played a big role in my life without ever knowing it. His wife Christa is my friend. Troy changed my life completely and gave me an aim in life. He was executed in Texas on 25th January 2005 after 20 years on death row. The german Christa Haber accidentally read about him in the world wide web, wrote him a letter and that way their friendship began, that became love. She moved to Texas, married Troy and opened a guesthouse for relatives of the inmates near the death row. Christa is my only pattern.

Troy spielt eine sehr große Rolle in meinem Leben ohne es je erfahren zu haben. Seine Frau Christa ist meine Freundin. Troy hat mein Leben völlig verändert und mir ein Ziel gegeben. Er wurde am 25.1.05 in Texas hingerichtet nach 20 Jahren in der Todeszelle. Die deutsche Christa Haber hat zufällig im Internet über ihn gelesen, ihm einen Brief geschrieben und so begann ihre Freundschaft mit ihm, die bald zu Liebe wurde. Sie zog nach Texas, heiratete Troy und eröffnete ein Gästehaus in der Nähe des Todestraktes für Angehörige der Insassen. Christa ist mein absolutes Vorbild.

I mean no disrespect on your memorial page but you left out anything about the victim. You did not even tell his name or anything about him.

His name was Steven W. Horton he was 31yrs old and was a father of 2 little girls (9yrs old-6yrs old) He has 3 grand kids he never got to see.

I'm really sorry about that and I feel very sorry about you and your family. It wasn't my intention to show just the one sight of the case and you are absloutely right that the victim's family should be mentioned. So now you did it and I can just say I'm very sorry about it, really... :(

What do you mean by "he was just a person"? The truth is he was a cold-blooded killer who took the life of an innocent human being. Why should society let him live and take a chance with him when he could very easily kill someone again either in prison or out of it?

[YusukeKuramaHiei]

He would never have killed again! It was a bad mistake he did when he was 18, but there were so many aspects that weren't observed right. He had a cruel childhood and saw no way out than with hangin around with his friends, the wrong friends. He should have got a scond chance. I think you haven't read or heard much of his case, otherwise you yould talk different. Just let him rest in peace, he got what he deserved

This is fucked up. a murder gets a tribute video while the victims are cast away how pathetic!

[shawni84]

@Marcfj ITS OK AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS.

[Marcfj]

@shawni84 You have my sincere apology, Miss Horton. That was my mistake and I am truly sorry for it. Best Wishes to you and your family.

[shawni84]

@Marcfj I THINK YOU ARE MIXED UP........I AM STEVES OLDEST DAUGHTER I WAS SAYING I MISSED MY FATHER.

[Marcfj]

@shawni84 Then you need to seek psychiatric help and find out why. Seriously, how is it that your life is so empty that you felt compelled to cross an ocean, and half of the North American continent, to seek out the companionship of a criminal who killed an innocent man in cold blood who had done him no harm?

[shawni84]

@sunfiregirl9927yaho THANK YOU............I DO MISS HIM

[terentesangre]

I bet the sex between these two lovebirds was amazing, not! you have to be missing a few screws to be attracted to anyone who's in jail for murder. And yes I'm against death penalty however, not because I believe this asshole's life is (ops!) was sacred.

[sunfiregirl9927yaho]

Maybe i should make a video with his casket pictures so people can truly get an idea.We all make our beds and we all have to sleep in it.I dont care if he was a teenager.Lots of people have it hard growing up.Abuse etc.They dont go out and kill and blame it on drugs or abuse.We choose.We are responsible for this one and only life we get.Very disturbed that all this focus is on him.What about my family?All of the problems pain this caused.He had gun.He chose.So justice was served.Took to long.

[sunfiregirl9927yaho]

Maybe someone should have made a video of what my uncle looked like.As he lay in his casket shot right in back head all over 13 bucks.Embalming job was not done well.So visualize my uncle layin there in his casket with blood running down the left side onto pillow.This was way to much for my mother.We are all responsible for our actions.We always have choices.He chose his fate.Why is it that evrytime one of these type men commit a crime,they automatically believe in god?They always use religion

[sunfiregirl9927yaho]

Maybe I should make a video remembering my uncle. Because he was a truly special person that did not deserve to be shot in head all because of 13 bucks.He had his whole life ahead of him.My cousins don't get to see there dad anymore.There father (my uncle)won't ever get to walk them down the isle on there wedding day.Or meet his grandchildren.Or ever be at my wedding.
