Terry Lee Dykehouse of Hastings, Michigan, passed away peacefully on October 9, 2025, in Grand Rapids at the age of 75.

Born on February 2, 1950, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Terry was the son of Jacob and Lucille L. (Lohmann) Dykehouse. He was a proud graduate of Kalamazoo Central High School and went on to serve honorably in the United States Army.

Terry married the love of his life, Janice Gay Kelly, on November 9, 1985. Together they built a life full of love, laughter, and adventure. He dedicated 35 years of service as a window clerk with the United States Postal Service before retiring in 2007.

Terry was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, camping, and fishing. He loved to travel and always looked forward to spending time with friends and family, making lasting memories and sharing plenty of laughs.

He was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his beloved wife Janice, and his sister Deb (Mike) Ellsworth.

In accordance with Terry's wishes, no formal services are planned.
