Terry Childs Obituary

Terry Childs was born June 23, 1949 and died January 2, 2014. Terry was a very private person, consequently few people got to enjoy his intelligence, his humor, or his generosity. He lived most of his adult life in pain and in denial of God. Just before his death, however, Terry accepted Jesus and so ended his journey in peace.

Kimberly, Melony, Wayne and Pam. I am sorry to hear of Terry's passing. He was a gentle giant that always thought of others. Before my husbands death, he and Terry had been friends for many years. After Randy's death, Terry asked me if he could be friends with me. Of course I said yes. At times I would get so frustrated at Terry for being so stubborn and would nag at him for being that way. He said that was just him being him. Kimberly, I know he was the happiest he had been in a long time this last year with the time he spent with you. Thank you and his friends for helping him through a difficult time. I will always remember Terry.
