Salvatore (Sal) Charles Terzo, 66, passed away on April 3, 2025 in Phoenix, AZ.
Sal was born in Detroit, MI on February 20, 1959 to his mother Francesca Antonina Terzo and his father, Salvatore "Sam" Terzo. Born and raised in Michigan, Sal was a graduate of Armada High School, class of 1977. Once an employee of The Macomb Daily, he later relocated to Phoenix in 1991 with his family to pursue other career opportunities. He was a hard worker, a music lover, and enjoyed sports (particularly baseball, racing, and hockey). He was always good for a laugh and was well known for his "cool" cars. He will be greatly missed.
Sal is survived by his children, Justina King and Rachel (Pete) Orn; his partner, Cassandra Cummings; grandchildren Kaeden (Addison) King, Kyler King, and Kaleb Neal; brother Tom (Deena) Terzo and sister Lenore (Bruce Marone) Pichler, several nieces, a nephew, and a great-niece. He is preceded in death by his mother and father.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
