Terry was a second-generation business owner of Peadens Grill & Cafeteria up until his health started to decline. He worked alongside his sister, Mable and son, Justin for many years.
A determined, hard-working father, he loved spending time with his family and friends the most! Whether it was on the golf course, the water, in a race car, flying a plane, in a casino, or loving his Tuesdays at the Plantation. He will be missed tremendously by everyone who knew him. Terry Peaden was just --- Terry Peaden. So full of love and life!
