Terry was born March 16, 1949, to Gerald and Elizabeth Wilson in Ontario, Oregon. He was the youngest of six. He married Patty Williams on January 22, 1972.

Words cannot do justice to the wonderful, gifted, and hardworking person Terry was. He worked hard to provide his family with everything they needed and a home customized to fit their needs. There was nothing he could not repair or restore to new. He loved tinkering with his hands and woodworking.

He was a very generous, compassionate person, helping anyone he could along the way. These qualities of his live on in his children and grandchildren.
