"..Terry died of complications due to Multiple Myeloma. He came down with this bone marrow cancer in Fall of 2010. He had been receiving treatment for many years and was doing really well. The Cancer flared up this past spring and even though he had had a tumor removed by radiation in May, the Cancer attacked his bones, which that type of Cancer does. He was very brave and never thought he would lose the battle. He was making design plans for his house, and doing small projects up until the last month of his life. He had to go into hospice for pain management and the fact that the chemo wasn't working anymore in August. The last week of his life is when he really took a turn for the worse. We were there with him when he left this world. My mother, brother and myself were the only ones in the room. He died at home where he wanted to be. He left very peacefully and still as handsome as ever. My father never got old, just sick. He still thought young, dressed young and acted young until the end. He was very proud of where he came from and spoke with much love when talking about his Ballinger friends. He was proud to be one of you. I hope he will be remembered for how brave and young at heart he was."
Yes, Amy, he will be remembered for all of the above.
