Known for his big heart and love of life, Terry was a man who knew how to have a good time. An avid outdoorsman - whether hunting, fishing, or simply enjoying nature. Terry's passion for the outdoors was matched only by his love of good food and good company. A self-taught chef and true foodie, he could turn any meal into a feast. He was always ready with a smile, a story, and a glass of tequila to share. Terry made people feel welcome, and his laughter and friendship will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Terry leaves behind many who will carry his memory in their hearts. His legacy lives on in every story told, every meal shared, and every moment spent enjoying the simple things he loved most. Visitation at the funeral home on November 5 from 10:30 am to 12 pm with a memorial service at noon.
