William Alexander “Alex” Trueman – age 30, of
Arlington, Kings County, NS, passed away Thursday, December 12, 2019,
in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Born June 15, 1989, in Kentville, he was the
son of William A. Trueman and Anne (Sutton) Trueman. Alex
graduated from Northeast Kings Education Centre in Canning, NS and
attended Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, NS. He had been
employed as a landscaper in Edmonton, Alberta and most recently as an
English as a Second Language Teacher in Hanoi, Vietnam and Phnom Penh,
Cambodia. He was very involved in soccer, both locally and
provincially. He played from age four to thirty with some of the same
friends all those years. He also played basketball and tennis and was
a tennis coach for youth in Canning. Alex always wanted to help
disadvantaged children and followed his heart to a part of the world
where he felt needed. Young children were always drawn to his gentle
and accepting nature. His friends were very important to him and he
always considered each one special. 4H, especially caring for animals,
was natural for him. He had an exceptional talent for drawing and
writing, and loved board games and reading. He is survived by his
parents, sister, Stephanie Trueman; nephew, Issac Mannette, and niece
Chloe Mannette, Halifax; aunts and uncles, Hazen and Jill Trueman,
