Terry Douglas Meeks, 72 years old, went to his heavenly home on Monday, February 16th. He was the last baby born in Big Spring, December 31st, 1953, to Barbara Woodson Meeks, and Ross Darrow, who raised Terry and his sister Debbie. Terry graduated from Coahoma High School in 1972. He was an all-state football player.

He married Patti Lee on November 22, 1982, and they made their home in Big Spring, Texas. After 20 years in the oil field, where he made many treasured friendships, Terry went back to college and became a certified Radiologic Technologist. He worked for 20 years at the VA Medical Center, before his retirement in December of 2013.

Mr. Meeks is survived by his loving wife, Patti, three children: Amber (Jason) Henry, of Lubbock Texas, Todd (Brittany) Moland, Stephenville, Texas, and Justin (Beth) Meeks, Midland, Texas; grandchildren and greatgrandchildren; Kiersten (Somer) Jackson and their children Kamryn and Wyatt, Jacob (Jolee) Henry, Nethanial (Marisol) Henry and their son Luca, Breanna (Cayden Goodman) Moland, Charly Rae Meeks, Tyler Moland, Sophia B, Hannah and Jake Armstrong; as well as his sister Debbie (Eddie) Minor; sisters-in-laws: Sheri (Ron) Lepard, Jana Lee, and Darlene Battle; brother-in-law Roger Battle; and mother-in-law Myrtie Lee, and several nieces and nephews.
