Terry was proud to be a Portland boy and loved walking the streets of the neighborhood he called home. He had a deep love for baseball and was a devoted fan of the Dallas Cowboys.

He is also survived by 19 nieces and nephews and 10 great-nieces and great-nephews who will forever cherish his memory.
Terry was preceded in death by his grandparents, Esther Grable; Donna and George Robbins; Wanda and Merritt Garrett; and Amanda Messer, as well as his beloved dogs, Blondie, Mack and Peaches.
