Terrence Gurney Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 17, 2024.
Terrence H. "Terry" Gurney, 62, of Wheeling, Illinois, passed away peacefully on Thursday, December 12, 2024.

Terry was the cherished son of the late Richard and Kathryn Gurney and a devoted sibling to Kari Ann Choy (the late Wayland) and the late Rick Gurney (Peg). He was a proud father to Jeffery (Claudia) Gurney and Finley Gurney and a loving grandfather to Sebastian Gurney.

Terry was known for his humor and zest for life, qualities that brought joy and laughter to those fortunate enough to know him. His warmth and spirited personality left an indelible mark on family and friends alike.

A celebration of Terry's life will take place at a later date during a gathering of family and friends. Cremation services will be private.

He will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him. May his memory bring comfort and lasting joy to those he leaves behind.

Terry was a fun loving guy that brought laughter and silliness to my family. I known him since I was a kid and had the pleasure of him being apart of my children“s life. With all are hearts he will be very missed. Even more has been a great and dear friend to my husband. They grew up together, and loved each other like brothers. Terry we love you, and will see you again my friend. Love you always, the Ugalde family.

My thoughts and prayers go to the family of Terry. He spent a great deal of time with our family growing up and we always considered him family. He was the most kind person to have ever known and he will be missed. My folks consider him as one of their own. RIP friend!
