Terry Raymond Petrick on August 11, 2025 of North Fayette Township, after a short, fierce battle with cancer. Son of Raymond and Marian (Peroff) (deceased) Petrick.

Beloved husband of Kimberly (Fuchs) Petrick, Proud father of Robert (Samantha), doting Pop Pop to Heidi and Gavin, loved by his golden companion Harmony. Brother to RaeAnn Petrick (deceased), nephew of Arlene Peroff (deceased), son-in-law to Kathryn Fuchs and the late Robert Fuchs, brother-in-law to Bob Fuchs (Tina), Uncle to Matt and Brian (Leah).

Terry was a graduate of West Allegheny where he returned to teach for 33 years. He was a true outdoorsman, enjoying fishing and hunting, as well as being a prolific gardener.

He was a fan of the Steelers, Pitt Panthers and Dayton Flyers Basketball. He enjoyed nothing more than vacations with his family, especially to the Outer Banks. His unexpected passing leaves a void that can never be filled.

Friends may call on the family on Thursday, August 14, 2025 from 3-7 p.m. at Thomas-Little Funeral Service, Inc. and Crematory, 305 Main St., Imperial (724-695-2800). Inurnment will be held privately.

We told Terry's Dad, Ray Petrick, a 50-year Fire First Responder that he raised a fine son. The new Fire House in Oakdale has now been named for Ray in honor of his sacrifice.
Terry Petrick, a 40 -year talented
teacher, raised a fine son Rob, a
nuclear engineer.
The Petrick men have a legacy of
accomplishment.
Ray and Marian Petrick devoted
their lives to their son and his family.
Marian's love for her son and his
family was paramount. She was
so proud of her grandson, Rob, and
his precious children. She would
just light up every time she spoke of them. It was truly touching.
Terry was blessed to have outstanding parenting by Ray and Marian. It paid
off. He was an outstanding parent as well.
Terry left footprints and he will be
missed by his family and many friends.
Rest in peace, Terry.
Augie and Lu Tamnariello
