He was very excited and proud about his sixth grandchildren that will be born in 2017.

Terry was a wonderful husband who loved his wife deeply. Along with being a great husband, Terry was an amazing father and friend to his children, he was always there to help them achieve their goals. Terry and his children have ran a mowing business for over twenty years together. Terry was quite proud of this as it grew bigger and bigger every year, and couldn’t wait for his grandchildren to carry on the tradition.

Terry's favorite thing to do was spend time with his wife, children and grandchildren. You could always find him at his shop or at his home surrounded by his close knit family. He especially loved spending the holidays with them, with Christmas being one of his favorites, he went from spoiling his children to spoiling his grandchild. This would always put a big smile on his face. Along with his family, his other love was fast cars and big truck, and of course his Kubota RTV.

Terry leaves behind his family, siblings, and friends behind.
