Terry Truscan Obituary

Terry L. Truscan

1956 ~ 2013

Terry was the first born son of four children and this was a very special honor. Terry grew up a very athletic child. He was active in and excelled in all sports. Terry was in the Boy Scouts for several years as a child. He also enjoyed hunting with his father, salmon fishing on Puget Sound and waterskiing on Lake Cavanaugh with his family and friends, and he was one of the best. He also played the guitar well and he had a good singing voice. Terry had strong Christian beliefs which we had brought him up with.

Terry attended Renton High School and Central Washington College. He worked most of his life in the dairy business, though he had retired from his career last Spring.

Terry became the happiest he had ever been when he met his wife Vicki, the shining star of his life. They truly were inseparable all the while that they were together. We are so saddened that their life together ended so abruptly with Terry's passing on October 4th.

Terry Truscan is survived by his wife Vicki Truscan, his parents Bud and Marilyn Truscan, two sisters Sheri Helmer and Keri Ann Goble, his brother Chuck Truscan and six nieces and nephews.

Terry was a kind and generous and loving person with his family and friends. Terry will be very deeply missed, and yet the memory of him will live in our hearts always.

God bless your soul, Terry. BTW, when Keri Ann was a Sea Gal in the early '80s, i would of loved it if she took me to up to Vancouver to watch the Canucks play or even flew me out to Baltimore to watch the Mariners play the Orioles.

Truscan Family, Years have passed since I knew Terry but it feels like yesterday that he and I met, he has always been in my heart. I had moved to Italy and he and I lost touch...Terry had such a sweet spirit and I will never forget him. I pray God comforts each and everyone of you and that your memories sustain you until you are together again. In God's Love, Tania

I have just learned that Terry has taken the journey to another world. I am compelled to send my respects, and give thanks for the brief time he shared with me on the play field from little league base ball to high school teams. Terry was always kind and cheerful to me, and a pleasure to compete with. Terry never gave me reason to pause. I trust that Terry gave you a source of pride, and I hope his life was filled with many glorious moments. I am sorry for your loss.

I'm sad to read this news. I read about it about 2 weeks ago and tried to get ahold of Sheri, but haven't heard back. We lose so many in our lives and we pray that he is resting in the arms of our Saviour. Rest in the knowledge that we will all meet again in a great and glorious place. ~Cindy (Sally's daughter).
