Terry Williams
December 4, 1958 – February 8, 2025
It is with great sadness that the family of Terry Thomas Williams announces his passing February 8, 2025 at the age of 66 years.
He was a loving and caring father, grandfather, sibling, and son. He was a genuine and authentic friend to many. Terry will be greatly missed.

Terry was born in Nashville, TN. He graduated from Father Ryan Highschool in 1977. He spent more than 35 years in the printing industry, where he truly cherished the trade. Many of his coworkers would describe him as being honest, encouraging, accountable, meticulous, and sarcastic. After mastering several different positions over the years, he decided it was time to retire in 2023. He lived a relaxing retirement enjoying the care for plants, creating a jungle of his own in no time. He was certainly the life of the party and so much fun to be around. He was excited and prepared, anytime for a good day of fishing. Raiders football is one thing that did not go missed on the calendar. Raider Nation!
