Terry passed away on Thursday, March 12, 2026 at his residence.

Terry loved airplanes, collecting guns and knives, his grandchildren, his dog Festus, heavy equipment, and teaching people by sharing his knowledge. He enjoyed telling stories from his years as a deputy and truck driver and about the many adventures of being a “good ol’ boy.” He loved joking about everything and especially enjoyed a Coke Icee.
