Terry was someone to admire. He was one of the few genuinely kind people in the world. He treated everyone with respect, valued their words, and made sure to always make them feel comfortable in his presence. He was the quiet guy in a room full of people but if you ever talked with him, you knew immediately what a sweet man he was. He always made you feel at ease and comfortable talking to him. When you really got to know him, you would love his subtle wit.
Terry was an exceptional husband and father. He always put his family first and did his best to give them the best life that he possibly could. He was an incredibly hard worker. He worked long hard hours outside in a lumber yard in all types of weather to provide the best life possible for his family. He was a real family man. His wife and kids were everything to him. He liked to help with chores around the house and he loved playing with his kids.
Terry had many medical issues all his life especially the last few years. Throughout all his hardships he never complained and always tried his best to get better every single day. He was always very thankful of anyone who helped him throughout his difficulties. We all loved helping him and taking care of him because he was Terry and everybody loved Terry.
God bless you my sweetheart. I love you always. Thank you for everything. Im only sorry we didnt have more time. You are in my heart and soul forever. Until we meet again. XO. Diana
