Rex L Trulove

Rex "Buzz" Trulove Jr. aged 65, passed away peacefully on 08-26-2021 in his home in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Rex was born to Freda Helmers and Rex Trulove Sr. in 1956 in Klamath Falls. As a child full of curiosity and mischief he had a talent for appearing innocent while being the mastermind behind trouble. When he was 21, he went to play pool at his favorite bar not knowing that his life was about to change forever. Inside the bar was a woman named Ella Griswold who decide to do everything she could to get his attention. At his persistent ignoring, she got mad, grabbed a pool cue, and poked him in the behind. He took the cue from her and demanded to know what she was doing. She responded with, "you can't do anything to me, my brother is the bartender." He promptly turned his attention to the bartender and shouted, "Hey, Leroy, can I paddle your sister's butt." Nine days later, on September 9th, Ella and Rex married in Reno, Nevada. That marriage stayed strong through the last 44 years and resulted in the birth of two children, Apollo Ryan Trulove in 1979 and Chrystina Athena Trulove in 1982. Rex is now home with his parents Freda Helmers and Rex Lee Trulove Sr., older brother, Steve Trulove, and Granddaughter, Astali Trulove. He is survived by his sisters, Judy Allen and Pat "Bunny" McDermott, wife: Ella Trulove, children: Chrystina Trulove-Reyes and Apollo Trulove, and many other family and friends. A memorial will be held to reminisce and celebrate Rex Trulove's life at a date to be announced. In the meantime, and for those who cannot travel or be present, we have created a memorial page on Facebook for those who wish to leave their fond memories of Rex and how he was involved in their lives. https://www.facebook.com/Remembering-Rex-107575364988813
