Truman was a loving father, grandfather, and friend, known for his strength, determination, and positive attitude. Truman was preceded in death by his parents, Sandra and Truman Teegarden.

Truman is survived by his three children, Dereck, Danielle, and Deven, and his three grandchildren, Denton, Daxton, and Kinsley, all of whom he adored. He loved spending time with his grandkids, especially playing with his granddaughter and making memories with her.

A proud union carpenter for many years, Truman worked hard and gave his all. He faced the challenge of pancreatic cancer in 2009, and against all odds went into remission showing his true fighter spirit. Even when his health took a toll, he never gave up and fought to live with everything he had until the very end.

In his free time, Truman had a few favorite things. He loved watching his old black-and-white TV shows, riding his bike along the beach, enjoying KFC, and cheering on his Kansas City Chiefs. Truman’s love for life and his family will always be remembered. His strength, humor, and determination will continue to inspire everyone who knew him.
