Terry Robirds, 68, of Rigby, Idaho, passed away at his home on September 1, 2025.

He was born on June 26, 1957, in Missoula, Montana, to Hershel K. and Bonnie Fay (Morrison) Robirds. He graduated from Riverton High School and later attended the University of Wyoming and New Mexico Tech, where he earned a degree in petroleum engineering.

Terry enjoyed reading, golfing, watching baseball-especially the Colorado Rockies-and spending time outdoors, particularly camping and fishing in the mountains with his dogs.

He is survived by his children, Michael Robirds of Pocatello, Idaho, and Chelsea (Matthew) Cortez of Cheyenne, Wyoming; siblings, Thomas (Cristine) Robirds of Monument, Colorado, Tracy Robirds of Evanston, Wyoming, and Tyler (Cathy) Robirds of Salt Lake City, Utah; and his grandchildren, niece, and nephews.
