Terrance Lee Yokeum, of Cadillac, passed away on Tuesday, August 26, 2025 at his home with family by his side. He was 78.

Terry was born on May 28, 1947 in Trenary, Michigan to Louis and Sheila M. (Atherton) Yokeum. On July 7, 2007 he entered into marriage with the former Sandra Hutchison in Las Vegas. Terry dedicated his career to trucking and spent nearly 50 years on the road as a truck driver for TJ's Trucking and Salisbury Trucking. He also spent a year working as a driving instructor for Pinncale. In his spare time, he enjoyed being outdoors going hunting and golfing. He had a passion for traveling around and seeing the country and loved to drive. Above all, he cherished the time spent with his family, especially his children, grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He will be lovingly remembered by his grandkids as "Old Man".
Terrance is survived by his loving wife, Sandy Yokeum of Cadillac; children, Amanda Lankford of Cadillac, Larry Lankford (Nikkia) of Gaylord, Brittney Larive of Cadillac, Richard McCrimmon of Cadillac and Alexis McCrimmon of Cadillac; numerous grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; several nieces and nephews; and many other loving family and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Louis and Sheila Yokeum; and nine siblings.
A private family celebration of life will be held at a later date.
