Terry, love ya man, I'm so honored that I was able to be your co-worker, neighbor, and a best friend. We really hit it off when Kelsey turned two. To the Howard's, my family and I are so sorry for this unreplaceable life we all lost. We will always be here to help in anyway needed. Brrrraaaaaaaap on for eternity man. RIP.

I have worked with Terry for 20 plus years at the gas company. He was in my work group of 11 of us. He was one of the most friendly outgoing guys I ever met, he always talked about SHannon and Kelsey. He was so proud of all their accomplishments . He was a family man first and foremost. We have such a tight work group, and Terry was a huge part of it. He will be deeply missed I wish all in his family and friends the strength to take time, and remember the positivity and kindness he showed everyone that knew him.

Shannon, Kelsey and the family of Terry, 
Words cannot express the shock and sorrow I felt when I heard about Terry. He was not only an excellent employee but also a friend. His energic ever present smile would always brighten your day, no matter how tough things were at the time. Asking him about Kelsey, or mentioning seeing Shannon at the clinic made Terry shine. You could tell he thought the world of both of you. Hold all your special memories close to your heart, he'll be sadly missed. I'm sorry that I'm unable to attend the funeral as I'm out of town all week. Please be assured that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. 
Rest In Peace my friend.
Greg

Shannon, Kelsey and Family,
I was shocked to hear of the loss of Terry.  I was talking with friends Friday night about Terry and his love for snowmobiling; they had shared some pictures of some vintage sleds they had seen in Wisconsin.  I asked them to forward the pictures to me so I could share them with Terry on Monday.  I know he would have enjoyed those pictures.  I will always cherish the memories of Terry, whether it was the stories he told regarding snowmobiles, cars, football, baseball, etc.  I know the most important thing to him was his family. He always talked highly of his family and how proud he was of you both.  I don't know why this has happened, but I do believe that God will help carry you through this difficult time.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  Sincerely,  Bill and Patty Ford and family

To my big brother:
What I would't give right now for a phone call from you about a snowmobile part that you ordered, that I knew nothing about. I would listen for hours and not have a clue what you were telling me. I would give anything to answer the phone and hear you say, "hey chicken." I heard the most awesome stories about you in the past few days. I am not surprised by any of them. Everyone is so fond of you and how respectful you are. All the giving and taking of joking around. You have the upmost respect from your snowmobile family. Those boys truly look up to you. You are the leader of the pack. As for your softball family, it is much the same. You made such an impression on alot of young girls. They looked for a coach, and boy did they ever get one. What a mentor you are. You brought into my life Shannon and Kelsey (Koos). Two of the most amazing people ever. I promise you that I will do everything in my power to get them through this. I will let Koos throw pitches at me. I will tell her every dumb thing you ever did. I will start watching those stupid movies that you watch, so we can qoute them. I will help Shannon with all this nonsense right now. I will make sure that she puts her shoes away, the way you like it. I am asking you Terry, that you give me strength. Help me get mom and dad through this. I need you to watch over them with their health. I need mom and dad Terry. I will get this figured out. Please be by my side right now and guide me to all the right answers. I got this, man.....I hope there is a ton of snow in heaven. RIDE ON #903 RIDE ON!!!

My sincere sympathy is extended to Shannon, Kelsey, and their family.  My heart aches for what you are experiencing.  Terry was a constant at cross country meets cheering on Kelsey and the team.  He will be sorely missed.  May God's presence help be with you during this difficult time.

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Terry.  I was Terry's primary dispatcher for 7 years however I hadn't worked for the company in the last two.  I loved talking to Terry.  He was always so positive and no matter how many times I called him, even if I knew I was the last person he wanted to hear from, he was always so cheerful and kind and seemed to really enjoy his work.  He spoke about his love of his family with me a lot and I can't imagine how hard this must be.  Please have my deepest sympathies to his immediate family and to his work family which for those 7 years was my family and my guys.  I love you all and I'm sorry, my prayers and thoughts are with all of you.

Debby Meyer added on 01/30/2017 at 4:40 pm

Hi Shannon:
I was shocked to learn of Terry's death. Although I did not have the opportunity to meet him, I heard he was a great guy and a great family man. We are keeping you and your family in our prayers during this difficult time.

 My heart breaks for you. Will be thinking about you always. Sending you a BIG huge hug!!!

So sorry, Shannon, to read of your husbands death. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Chris added on 01/30/2017 at 10:06 pm 
I have been his co-worker for about 15 years. I didn't really get to know him till I bought a ski doo sled from him about 6 years ago. I hate to say it, but Shannon would say we were the "perfect couple." He loved to talk and tell me how his stuff was the best and I loved to listen to it. He was the only guy that loved sledding more then me. Every trip we went on he would always tell me about his family.  I felt like I knew them before I met them. He would always give me updates and I knew it was important to him to tell me.  I bet I've been on at least 20 trips to the U.P. with him. Every intersection we came to, I would have to point which direction to go to because he didn't know where we were at. I just wish I could point one more time and that would be straight up, so someday we can ride cloud to cloud.  Terry's always been the glue that held our snowmobile family together.
