Terry McCandless Obituary

Visit the Rader Funeral Home of Longview website to view the full obituary.
Terry "T-Mac" McCandless passed away peacefully at home with his wife by his side. He is survived by his loving wife, Frances Dawn McCandless, and his six children - Dustin, TJ, Robert, Patrick, Britney, and Brandon - as well as grandchildren Emilee, M'Kayla, Phoenix, Elijah, Coltin, and Orion, and great-grandsons Nathan and Mateo.

Terry was known for his sharp wit, stubborn pride, and big heart. A hard worker and born tinkerer, he could fix just about anything - and refused to ask for help while doing it! He loved his family, grilling, and Ozzy Osbourne - not necessarily in that order.

Terry's family will hold a private memorial service in his honor in the coming days. For more information, please contact Frances McCandless.
