SPENCER TRUMAN Spencer Wesley "Wes" Truman passed away July 4, 2011, at age 30, after a 5-year battle with brain cancer. He treasured his relationships and was grateful for a life filled with opportunities to love and be loved. He was a dedicated husband and father, a devoted son and brother, a true friend and a disciple of Jesus Christ. He impacted many lives through his kindness, his honesty and his constant efforts to contribute, build and bless. His family and dear friends will miss his sense of humor, his winsome smile and his helping hand, but will eternally treasure his example of faith, hope, and patient, long-suffering love. Wes is loved by his wife, Lori (daughter of Dee and DeAnna Packer of Bountiful, Utah); children, Lucy and Spencer; parents. Phillip and Lucinda of Las Vegas; and siblings, Zachary (Sandy), Mark (Maria), Michael (Marci) and Suzanne Wirth (Joe). Extended family includes much loved nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents, Spencer and Herma Truman. Special thanks to Dr. Jensen, Dr. Cohen, Dr. Colman, Dr. Shrieve, Julia, Debi, Travis, Barbie and Lisa at Huntsman Cancer Institute and Wes's compassionate CSN caregivers Dana and Mary. Funeral services will be held Saturday, July 9, at 12:30 p.m., at the Oak Hills Stake Center, 925 E. North Temple Drive, Provo, Utah).

Wes was a powerful force for good in the world and will be sorely missed by those of us who loved him. I always considered him more "brother" than "friend."

You are in our prayers also Lori, Lucy, and Spencer. Sometimes Heavenly Father needs His very choicest spirits home with him to help further His works. I am sure Wes' works have not ended.

Dear Truman Family,
I treasured Wes as a fellow missionary in Norway. His bright smile, humble manner, and positive attitude helped me personally through rough days. I enjoyed serving with him so much, and will never forget him or his light.
My prayers are with you all through this rough time. Please know there are many out there who appreciate, love and miss Wes.
Lots of love,

Dear Lori, Lucy, and Spencer, my heart goes out to you as I learned of your loss. Wes was a great man. I had the pleasure of serving with him in the great city of Stavanger, Norway. He was a great missionary and a great leader. I treasure those memories. Please know that my prayers are with your family. He will be missed.
