Talen enjoyed spending time with his family, friends, and pets. Some of his favorite things to do with family were to go for car rides, sit around the campfire, and listen to music. Talen especially enjoyed listening to country music. However, his favorite song of all time was Happy Birthday. It didn’t matter whose birthday it was, Talen thought everyone was singing to him. Talen loved to eat! He loved to eat junk food, specifically fruit snacks. Talen enjoyed being on the go. He loved riding the bus to school and therapy and being in the car. One of his favorite things to do was chase his sisters around the state to watch them play softball.
Talen had the most infectious smile and laugh. He would light up the room in an instant. No matter how tough life got for him, he always had a smile on his face.
