Born on September 2, 1961, in Elkhart, Indiana, Terry's life was a testament to his enduring spirit and the joy he found in the simple pleasures of life.

Terry grew up in the heartland of America, where he developed a deep appreciation for the outdoors. His love for fishing, camping, and hunting was matched only by his passion for football. A hardcore Dallas Cowboys fan, Terry could often be found cheering on his team, surrounded by an impressive collection of Cowboys memorabilia that he had curated over many years.

His dedication to his interests was mirrored in his professional life. Terry was known for his strong work ethic, a trait that earned him respect and admiration from his colleagues. He took immense pride in his work, approaching every task with a commitment to excellence and a determination to see it done correctly. His steadfast nature made him a valued employee and a dependable friend.

Those who knew Terry will remember his fondness for Southern cuisine, a preference that made him a regular at his favorite restaurant, Chili's. His laughter and stories were a staple during these meals, as he relished both the food and the company of friends and family. 

Terry's strength of character was evident to all who had the privilege of knowing him. He faced life's challenges with a steadfast determination that inspired many. His ability to remain committed to his goals, while maintaining a positive outlook, was a hallmark of his personality.

The community of Rio Rancho, where Terry spent his final years, will remember him as a man who brought a sense of camaraderie and joy to every encounter. His presence enriched the lives of those around him, and his absence will be deeply felt.

Though Terry has departed from this earthly realm, his legacy endures through the countless memories he created with those who were fortunate enough to cross paths with him. His spirit, characterized by resilience and a zest for life, will continue to guide and influence us all.

As we bid farewell to Terry Eugene Bolin, let us celebrate the life of a man whose existence was a vivid tapestry of dedication, enjoyment, and unwavering spirit.

May he rest in peace, knowing that his life was one well-lived, full of the pursuits and people he loved dearly.
