“All you can ask of life is to love and be loved”
Truman Garcia Balboa was born August 28, 2000 among the beautiful rose fields of Florence, Arizona. He joined Angela and Lyn Snow one afternoon, and Lyn took one look and called him Truman. They eventually moved to the scenic waterfronts of SE Alaska, and then to Chicago.
Truman eventually retired back in Chandler, Arizona.
Truman was a man of many hats, family man, working man, musician, comedian and cook. He had several careers throughout his life including Chicago alley maintenance, drywaller, A/V installation, mechanic, sous chef, story teller, zen Buddhist, and Latin jazz fusion percussion with band “El Hombres”. Truman was known to help his friends in any occasion and bailed out his dear friend, Trixibelle Anderson, on more than one occasion.
Truman also enjoyed travel and made his way across the states several times demanding to ride in Captain’s seat. He was steady and grand travel mate that enjoyed roadside attractions in particular the Glenrio ghost town, the Mississippi river, and forests of the Pacific Northwest.
It has been said Truman is the single most magnificent collection of fur and spirit molecules ever assembled in this universe, and he was.
He was friend to all.
