Terry Lee Martin

With heavy hearts and more than a few smiles through the tears, we share that Terry Martin, 64, beloved husband, father, "TT," and friend, took his final ride on August 10, 2025, trading the highways here for the endless roads above.
Born in Ephrata on July 15, 1961, Terry was a proud Harley rider who lived life at full throttle. Whether he was cruising on his bike, cracking a perfectly timed joke that could make anyone "blow a gasket," or turning every thought and phrase into a song, he truly filled every moment with energy and laughter. Terry loved the good ol' rumble of a Harley, the freedom of the open road, and, most of all, his people. He was the guy you wanted in your corner - your riding buddy for life.
Just before he passed, Terry and his wife, Debbie, fulfilled a lifelong dream with a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Sturgis, South Dakota, alongside close friends. They soaked in every mile, every view, and every moment in awe of our land's beauty.
Terry is predeceased by his parents, James and Jane (Mellinger). He is survived by his wife and best friend of 14 years, Debbie; son, Zane; stepson, Zach; brothers, Dean, Kurt and Kent; stepdaughter, Cassie, and her fiancé, Ben; grandchildren, "G" and "Bubba"; and countless friends, family, and fellow riders who will keep his spirit alive on every road they travel.
True to his wishes, there will be no funeral service. Instead, we will honor his memory the way he lived: rev up your bike, take a shot of Crown, and tell a joke so good it leaves someone doubled over in laughter. Celebration of life to be announced.
Ride on, Terry - until we meet again, where the pavement never ends.
