Terry Walley Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 4, 2018.
Terry Lee Walley, 55, passed away unexpectedly, but peacefully, in his home in Fairbanks on Nov. 30, 2018. Terry was born April 18, 1963 in Fairbanks and is preceded in death by his father Fairbanks Mayor Bill "Wee Willie" Walley, mother, Shirley Houk and brother Alexander Walley. He is survived by his siblings: Kerry Walley, Sherry Walley-Hoff, Perry Walley and Stefanie Walley-Green. 
Terry was a lifelong broadcaster and enjoyed a successful career on the airwaves in Fairbanks, Anchorage and Palmer. In 2011, he was inducted into the Alaska Broadcaster's Hall of Fame. He was also member of the Lions Club. Terry enjoyed spending time with his family and friends.
He was very close to his siblings, nephews and nieces, and their children. Terry was kind, thoughtful, caring and always there for the people he loved. He rarely missed a celebration and kept the oral history of his family alive. He was always up for an adventure and made many memories along the way. He lived his life selflessly making his mark in the hearts of so many people who were lucky to call him a friend.
There will be a celebration of Terry's life at 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 7, 2018, at The Event Center and Lounge at 1288 Sadler Way. Terry's family would like to invite all friends, family and work associates to join them in celebrating his life.

To my long time friends of the family- The OBrien family extends condolences to the the Walley family. I've known the Walley's since I was two years old and my dad worked with Bill Walley.

It was a joy to work for and with the Walley family. Terry was a sweet soul- kind hearted and genteel. I will always remember him fondly and am comforted to know he and Bill are together, watching (and listening) on the "Heavenly airwaves". Sending my prayers and condolences to the entire family- it is an honor to know them.

So many memories of Terry in the 80s are flashing behind my eyes. What is Heaven's gain is our loss here on earth.

Even though we didn't see much of each other in the recent past, the smiles that lit our faces whenever we did is the joyful memory I will carry always.

Peace to all of the Walley Clan. May your memories bring smiles to your faces, even through the tears.

Terry was Legendary! He taught me to drive. I taught him to skate. Some how we both ended up doing spins on the ice. My spin out was on airport road. Thankful no other cars were around. His spin was with the Gold Kings. I'm so thankful to have the memories.

Thoughts and Prayers to his family. It is an honor to have met many of The Walley's.

We shall meet again Terry! I'll bring the Burgers!

We grew up thousands of miles from each other yet we bonded immediately as adults when you came to visit your mom and your relatives here in Minnesota. We shared many of the same views and possessed a lot of the same mannerisms - those Husnik traits that ran through our mothers and then on to us. I was so fortunate to get to spend quality time with you and to feel that genuine love you shared with your friends and family. Thank you Terry for being who you were.
