Oct 2020 - Terry's sister posted on facebook
“On behalf of Terry's children, Dani Paulk and Nathan Opdyke,
myself and my husband Stephen, we are heartbroken to announce
that Terry has recently passed away. While we are filled with
grief at his passing, we take comfort in knowing he is no longer
struggling with the medical issues he has had over recent years.
Respecting his wishes, we have chosen cremation and to hold a
small family only service in the future.
