Terrance Michael Bresette was born on February 27, 1949. And passed away on November 16, 2025. His parents, Frances A (Colyer) Bresette and Robert B Bresette, Sr. are both deceased. He is survived by his children, Scott Bresette, Chad Bresette and Shanna Kilgore along with their spouses and grandchildren. Also left behind are his brothers Phil and James and his half-brothers, Bob and Lou.
In his last days he frequently mentioned the good Lord and the Man Upstairs, perhaps anticipating that he was nearing the end of his time on earth. Throughout his life he had a Christian attitude and belief that Jesus was his Lord and Savior. Reading and studying the Bible gave him inspiration to live a full and better life.
He was a man of many talents and laid carpet and flooring for many years before becoming disabled after a car wreck and a stroke. Even though he had difficulty maneuvering because of the loss of much of his body functions he rarely complained.
In his early years he was an accomplished baseball player and could throw a ball so high you'd lose it in the sky and upon its descent it would be almost uncatchable. Although he enjoyed a game of golf now and then he was more accomplished at throwing his clubs than hitting the ball. Perhaps if the ball was being thrown from the pitcher's mound and was spinning and turning it would have been easier for him to hit.
Terry never passed up the chance to recall incidents from his life and spin them into interesting, maybe slightly embellished tales.
He was an imperfect man in an imperfect world, like us all. Now, at peace with the Man upstairs, he has shed his failed human body and has obtained perfection. God loves him and so do we.
