Terry Graybill Obituary
Born March 19, 1951 in Kensington, MD, he was the son of the late Maxwell and Catherine Graybill. Terry was a U.S. Army veteran of the Vietnam War, and he earned his living as an independent tractor-trailer owner/operator. He enjoyed fishing, camping, and gardening, and he had a profound love for all his family and friends, both two- and four-legged.
In addition to his loving wife, Terry is survived by a son, Joshua Graybill (Starr); a daughter, Sheena O'Neill (David); five brothers, Maxwell (Barbara), Jim (Priscilla), Bill, Bob, and Joe Graybill (fiancé Joni); and many nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, and other relatives. In addition to his parents, Terry was preceded in death by two former wives, Donna and Diane, and by his sister Wendy.
A memorial gathering will be held at 12 Noon on Saturday, April 11th at the Ballenger Creek Park Community Center, 5420 Ballenger Creek Pike, Frederick, MD. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hospice of Frederick County, P.O. Box 1799, Frederick, MD 21702.

A long time friend from Kensington days. Lots of great memories of camping and fishing vacations. I can't imagine anything getting Terry Graybill down...except maybe his Mom while horsing around! The sparkle in his eyes, his love of life and quick laugh will always be my memory of Terry. Karen and Josh, my heart goes out to you both - the world lost a great man. Hugs.

We will always cherish the many memories of Terry.
Karen, Josh and Sheena may you find peace in the comfort of family, friends and the wonderful memories you have. Terry was a great person with a contagious laugh that will never be forgotten and the best neighbor anyone could ever imagine for the last 27 years. We are going to miss him greatly. Hugs ~ Ron, Valerie, Zipper and Zoe
Terry,
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

May Jesus be with you Terry. I knew Terry when I lived in Kensington, Md. in 1965. I believe he lived off of Knowles avenue in a green house. We took his parents Ford Falcon for a ride one night through the back streets of Kensington. We both drove pretty good for 13 years old. I never saw him again after I moved in 1965, but I have seen his truck driving through Frederick a few times, and wondered if that was him. May he rest in peace!

Terry,
You were A a big part of us kids lives. You a huge part of who we are today. You knew things and reprimanded about things my parents didn't know and guided me in the right direction. If I had an issue I could always talk to you and have your unspoken word it was between us. You were a Father to all of us and as we grew a friend. I'll never forget you or the memories I have, even the not so good and crazy ones. Lol. You had a hell of a right hand followed by a hell of heart and a hug. I'll miss you Terry, Rest Well my Friend.
Love Shawn Willett
