Terry Switz Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Terry graduated from Canyon Del Oro High School in 1994, University of Arizona in 1999 followed by his masters degree from Point Loma Nazarene University in 2011.
Terry was known for his strong will and unwavering determination and his love and support for his son, family, friends, and his beloved dog, Calvin. He enjoyed traveling, golf, any and all sporting events, especially UA basketball, skiing and hiking. Although Terry is gone, he will live in our hearts forever.
He is survived by his son; Jackson Switz; parents, Terry and Dorene (Trinchero) Switz; sister, Sarah (Jim) Frost; niece, Lindsey Frost and many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins. His departure leaves an unfillable void in our lives, yet we find comfort in the memories shared.
Memorial contributions may be made to Rhode Island Hospital Foundation's Terry A. Switz, Jr. Traumatic Brain Injury and Neurosciences Fund at https://giving.brownhealth.org/RIH/Support-RIH or sent to PO Box H, Providence RI 02901.
Services will be held on February 15, 2025, at 11:00 am at Santa Catalina Catholic Church located at 14380 N. Oracle Road, Tucson, AZ followed by a Celebration of Life at The University of Arizona Football Stadium Skybox located at 1 N. National Championship Dr.
