Terry was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He married in the Salt Lake Temple in 1970 to the love of his life Derinda Mardell. He held several callings in the church including Sunday School President, Home Teacher and the Stake Genealogist.

Terry was a man that accomplished many things during his life. He served honorably in the US Army and continued his service to the government as a civilian employee at Hill Field Air Force Base. He was a dedicated family man that loved his children and completely adored all of his Grandchildren. When he was able he was an avid fisherman and enjoyed the outdoors. His favorite vacation spot was Zion National Park, which is steeped richly in his family history, which was one of his many passions.

Terry had the gift of gab and could talk to anyone. He loved spending hours sharing his stories to any who would listen. He was the rock for many people, his children especially, he was dedicated to them to a fault. He opened new worlds for his children whether it be the beauty of Audiobooks or simply talking about new recipes and trying them out. Yes, Terry, there is an APP for that. Need a tool? He probably had four or five of them, so rest assured there would be one to borrow.

Most of all he will be missed by his loving wife, whom he loved dearly. It is fair to say that he will be missed by many. In the days preceding his death he was asked what he wanted for his upcoming birthday, he said new legs, now he has wings.
