David (Dave) Terry Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 28, 2024.
David (Dave) O. Terry, beloved, father, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on March 17, 2024, in Vancouver, WA, surrounded by his family. He was 80.

Dave will be remembered by his sons Alan (Stacey), John (Allyson), Jeff (Babette), Kevin (Laura), daughters Brenda (John), Julie (Daryl), Angela (Jesse), his brother Don, his 15 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren, and his cherished girlfriend Cynthia. He was predeceased by his parents Herbert and Irene Terry, and his daughter Debbie

Dave had a passion for old cars which he shared with his fellow members of the Kamikazee's Car Club.

One of Dave's greatest joys in life was spending time with his family, including his furbaby Kona, who brought him comfort during his dialysis treatments.

A celebration of life will be held at 11 AM April 27th at the Peoples Church. He is missed and will forever be in our hearts.

Although we only had 26 months together we filled it with so much Love, joy and happiness. His smile would light up a room. We often giggled and acted like a couple teenagers. We loved music, holding hands and laughing and most of all - we truly loved each other.
