Terry Giddens loved life and believed in making the most of it. he enjoyed being on the lake, fishing, riding in the boat, singing along to his favorite songs, and spending time with his friends and the people he loved. He was happiest when he was laughing, telling stories, and enjoying good company.
Terry never met a stranger and had a way of making people feel welcome. He loved having a good time and making memories with his love. Dianne, family, and friends. He wasn't one to sit on the sidelines, he wanted to be where the fun was.
Terry lived life on his own terms and enjoyed every chance he got to make the most of it. If he could tell us one thing today, it would probably be, "I had a good time while I was here."
He will be missed by many, but the memories laughter, and stories he leaves behind will be treasured forever.

Giddens II; his daughters, Autumn Michelle Byrd (Jason) and Tricia Grimes (Adam); his sister, Deborah Bryant (Mike); and his grandchildren, Julia Knight (Jacob), Lucas Byrd (Savannalyn), Haley Giddens (Jessie), Parker Giddens, and Cora Grimes.
