Terry graduated from Twin Valley South in 1982 and soon after joined the Army, serving as an Infantry 101st Airborne Ranger in various locations overseas. He was honorably discharged in 1986. Following his military service, Terry worked at Akey's in Lewisburg, Ohio which is where he met his wife Connie. A few years later, he went to work at Lewisburg Container where he worked as a Maintenance Supervisor for 27 years.
Terry was a spirited and active individual who cherished his family and friends deeply. He married his beloved wife, Connie, with whom he celebrated 31 years of marriage. Together, they raised two sons, Jesse and Josh Wysong.
An avid outdoorsman, Terry loved fishing on his Skeeter boat, mushroom hunting, golfing, and playing pool. His hobbies reflected his zest for life and his desire to live each moment to the fullest, a philosophy he maintained even through his health challenges.

I worked with him at Pratt Lewisburg for 4 years. He was kind, honest, and a hard worker. I wish I could help him in curing his cancer. Rest in peace Terry.

Terry was my best friend when we were young. He taught me about coon hunting with a dog named pochy. We hunted,fished together and even went to Michigan mushroom hunting with my dad one year. Always in the summer bailing hay and straw. His entire family was my second family. Thanks for the great memories Zeke, love you bud.

I served with Terry in the 101st in the 80s, and memories of his humor, kindness, and good-natured sense of fun endure. I wish his family as much comfort as can be found in the face of Terry leaving this world far too soon.

I met Zeke in basic training back in 1983. We were a cohort platoon which meant we would serve our enlistment time together. He was a good soldier, he was also funny and always seemed happy. When our time was up and our duty had ended we went our separate ways. When we started to have reunions we were all so happy to see each other again and I remember Zeke had shed a few tears as I did too! I knew he had heart. He was always fun to be around as well as his wife. I will miss him, he was always cool with me and everyone around him.
