Dana Terry Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Farley Funeral Homes and Crematory - North Port on Jan. 6, 2026.
Dana E. Terry, Jr. 81, went to be with his Lord in North Port, FL surrounded by his family. He was born in Norfolk, VA on June 25, 1944.

He is reunited in Heaven with his beloved wife, Suzanna M. Terry, his parents Dana Terry and Ethel Mae Terry, and his grandson Vincent Reasbeck Jr.

Dana's memory will be cherished by his one brother John (Becky) Terry of Wheeling, WV, sister-in-law Patty Mulvey of Murrysville, PA, his children Tracey Gabel (Mike Olson), Sheila Reasbeck, Tammy Cornelia, Jody (Bill) Rhodes, Dana (Cynthia) Terry, and Lana (Tom) Vapner; along with his 15 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren and 3 great great grandchildren. All of whom brought him immense pride and joy.

Dana lived a full and hardworking life. He retired from Comcast after 35 years of dedicated service. He was the former owner of the I.D.E club on Wheeling Island and a lifelong member of the Cave Club in Wheeling, WV, as well as the VFW in North Port, FL.

A true Mountaineer and Steelers fan, Dana loved cheering on his teams. He found his greatest happiness outdoors-hunting, fishing, boating and especially in the company of his family. His laughter, loyalty, and steady presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Services for Dana will be held privately at a later date, at the family's convenience.
