Terrance Michael Bednar

November 25,1948 – June 29, 2026

With heavy hearts and unwavering faith, we announce the passing of Terrance "Terry" Bednar, who entered the presence of his Lord and Savior on June 29, 2026, at the age of 77.

Terry was a larger-than-life man in every sense of the word. His stature was matched only by the size of his heart. He never met a stranger, and anyone fortunate enough to cross his path was welcomed with a warm smile, a firm handshake, a bear hug, and usually a dad joke that would leave everyone laughing or groaning.

A devoted follower of Christ, Terry lived a life marked by kindness, generosity, loyalty, and an unwavering love for others. His faith guided the way he loved his family, served his friends, and treated every person with dignity and compassion. He was the kind of man who made people feel seen, valued, and at home.

Terry was a hardworking man who believed in providing for those he loved and giving his very best in everything he did. While he worked hard, he knew how to enjoy life just as much. He loved spending time on the golf course, traveling in an RV with the love of his life, Judy, cheering on his beloved Cleveland Browns and Cleveland Guardians, and relaxing with a Crown Royal highball in hand. But above all else, Terry's favorite place to be was wherever his family was gathered.

His greatest love story was the one he shared with his wife, Judy. Together they were the perfect balance, Judy's quiet strength beautifully complemented by Terry's outgoing spirit. He was her emotional support extrovert, her biggest cheerleader, her partner in every adventure, and the life of every gathering. Their love was an example of friendship, laughter, and unwavering devotion. While Terry deeply missed Judy after her passing, we find comfort in knowing they are joyfully reunited, dancing together once again in Heaven.

Terry leaves behind a family who will forever cherish his memory: his daughters, Leslie Ochoa and Valerie Jefferson, and his treasured granddaughter, Julia Pharmer, who brought him immeasurable joy. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Judy Bednar.

Although our hearts are broken, we rejoice in knowing Terry's faith has become sight. His legacy lives on in every laugh shared, every hug freely given, every act of kindness, and every reminder that life is meant to be lived with joy, generosity, and love.

Well done, good and faithful servant.

Until we meet again, Dad
