Terry Alan Stieg 61, passed away December 31st 2025 in his home in Beloit, WI. Born August 14th, 1964 to Edwin and Barbara Stieg in Rockford, IL. Terry graduated from Jefferson High School and married Jody (Burick) Stieg in February 1986 and were married 30 years. Together they had three children: Brittany (Stieg) Craten and twins Olivia and Zachary Stieg. Terry was employed by Walmart in Roscoe, IL where he enjoyed sharing stories with his co-workers and helping customers.

He was an avid sports fan, loved all things cars, and playing darts at the local bars. The biggest part of his heart belonged to his only grandson Elijah, when they would take walks around the block and play cars or dinosaurs.

He is survived by his former wife Jody (Burick) Stieg, three children; Brittany (Craten) Stieg, Twins Olivia and Zachary Stieg, grandson Elijah, Sister Vicki (Tom De Berry), Brother Todd Stieg, several nieces, nephews and cousins. Predeceased by his parents Edwin and Barbara Stieg, brother Gary Stieg, as well as maternal and paternal grandparents.

Thank you to Walmart, Roscoe for their memorial set up at their store. The family would also like to thank everyone for their kind words and support during this difficult time.
