Terry Beach Obituary
Terry Lee Beach, 58, of Johnson City passed to a better life with Jesus Christ his Savior in the early morning hours of February 5, 2014. His Lord called him home after a valient fight that Terry fought with courage and dignity that marked what kind of person Terry truly was. He is pre-deceased by his father, Rex T. Beach, several aunts and uncles and grandparents that loved him as Terry unfailingly did them. He was devoted to his family and a loyal friend who would always be there when he was needed. Terry was a graduate of Vestal High School and attended classes at Delhi and Farmingdale College. Terry is survived by his loving wife of 10 years, Heather Leonard who loved Terry with all her heart; his mother, Beverly Beach of Vestal; his sister and brother-in-law, Wendy and Dennis Ptak of Rochester Hills, MI and his brother, Timothy Beach of Binghamton; and many other family members. Terry was an avid golfer and a member of the U.S.G.A, playing rounds with his close friends at Endwell Greens. He was a fan of the NFL and he loved to go to his favorite place, Jonathan's to watch his NY Giants. Terry owned and operated his own masonary business serving many people in his community with his excellent work. A trait that he learned from his dad. The family would like to express its deepest gratitude to the special nurses and doctors if Lourdes Hospital I.C.U. Their gentle compassion and genuine care for Terry was a gift from God. God created Terry full of meaning and determination and those who knew him, spent time with him, knew they were in the presence of someone special. Help us celebrate Terry's life on Monday, February 10, 2014 from 10:30 a.m. to noon with services following given by Pastor John Lucas at Tracy Creek Memorial Church, 4 Knight Road, Vestal, NY. In lieu of flowers please consider donation to Tracy Creek Church benevalent fund. Burial services will be at the convenience of the family.

My deepest condolences to the family. Terry did some work for us in Apalachin on our house foundation. He was an awesome Mason and his work ethics and quality are unsurpassed. He was a great person to be around. He will be missed dearly by me and anyone who knew him. God bless him.

I can't believe it's been 7 years since you left us. I will always remember you telling me how much you loved the Christmas cd I gave you, especially Dean Martin's "baby it's cold outside". And how much you loved the "giant's". Rest in peace my friend.

Terry was in my graduating class and many elementary grades as well. Boy, the memories he made for us all. Hmmm... 5th grade we had a relatively new teacher who briefly stepped out of the room. Terry shouted switch chairs, which we all did without a second thought. When she returned, that poor teacher cried as we were all giggling. Never was a dull moment. I am sorry for what you are going through. May you feel God's loving arms wrapped around you offering you comfort in the hours, days, weeks and years ahead. God Bless. Joanne (Pickard) Sterling

To Heather, Bev and Tim...
I prayed everyday for Terry and the entire family; I also enlisted the prayers of 22 Facebook friends who prayed for you as well.
I had hoped the outcome would be different, but God had other plans for Terry and for you.
My prayers today are that the Lord will wrap his loving arms around you these coming days, weeks, months and years, as you find a new normal.
Just remember, there are people who care.

Dear Beach family-
I was shocked to read of Mr. beach's passing. I didn't know that he was ill.
I saw him last; having one of his helpers do my basement in early summer.
God rest hi soul!
he was always fair with me.
Now, who will I turn to for masonary work?
Prayers and condolences to his family.
