Terry Herbert Curran, age 83, lived every moment to the fullest. He was born to Theda and Ken Curran in Los Angeles, California on May 9, 1940. He spent his childhood in Iowa on the family farm. Terry attended high school in Douglas, Arizona and then enlisted in the Navy.
Terry married Stephanie Ellison in 1964 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Barstow, California. Terry was a devoted husband and father of three children. In 1971 Terry and Stephanie bought the family business, Ken Curran Electric. Terry stepped away from the business and began retirement in 1994 when Stephanie was diagnosed with breast cancer and he became her care-giver until her passing.
Years later Terry remarried when he met Amelia Jensen (Mimi) and enjoyed the role of step-grandfather to Blake, Will, Cole, Jenna and Kayla. They settled in Ventura, California. Mimi passed away in 2022. Terry continued to live every moment to the fullest in spite of his lung cancer diagnosis. His last days were filled with laughter and joy with girlfriend, Janet Stinson.
We are forever grateful to have had this extraordinary man in our lives. Terry’s sparkling blue eyes, stubborn streak, and huge heart are forever in our memories.
