Terrence “Terry” Walklett Sr.

In Loving Memory of Terrence “Terry” Walklett

Terry passed away surrounded by the love of his family. He leaves behind a legacy defined by love, kindness, loyalty, and selflessness he gave so freely to the people around him.

He had a way of making the people he loved feel supported and cared for, and he never hesitated to lend a helping hand. His family and friends knew they could always count on him—no matter what.

He found happiness in the simple joys of life and in making memories with the people he loved. He enjoyed fishing, traveling, skiing, golfing, diving, swimming at the beach, and spending time with family and friends. Whether he was enjoying an adventure, relaxing by the water, or simply spending time together, it was the people beside him who made those moments special.

Above all, Terry was a devoted father, grandfather, brother, partner, and friend. He is survived by his children, Terrence Jr. (Candice), Kaci, Karlee, and Kassy (Mark); his grandchildren, Emilea, Ayla, Terrence III, and Cole; his siblings, Sharon (Nick), Tom (Sharon), and Todd (Denise); and his life partner, Laura.

His greatest joy was his family, and the love he had for them was evident in everything he did. His children and grandchildren will carry with them not only the memories they shared, but also the lessons he taught through the way he lived—always be honest, always be loyal, care for others, and give more than you take.

Terry will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. His kindness, generosity, humor, and unwavering love will remain in the hearts of his family and friends forever.

Though his time with us was not long enough, the love he gave us will last a lifetime.

Condolences

    I am so sorry to hear of Terrys passing. He was part of our close knit group of Friends that hung out during jr high/high school. Although we’ve lost touch through the years, those wonderful memories have stayed with me. My condolences go out to his family. He was kind and had a great sense of humor. He was called home way too soon.
