Terry lived a life full of passion and dedication, marked by his exceptional career in B-52 Aircraft Maintenance, Sales, Graphic Arts, and Farming.

He lived hard, loved hard, and rode hard, leaving a lasting imprint in the hearts of his loved ones. He wanted his family and friends to know he loved them and his closing words are “Turn out the lights… the party’s over… for me. My family and friends need to pick up the tempo and take it on home”.
