Preceding Terry in death besides his parents was one sister, Mary M. Schoonover; one brother, Thomas Lynn Ferguson; three brothers-in-law, Neil Levy, Lorren Sturms and Jerry Currence.

Terry was a graduate of Elkins High School with the class of 1962. He had worked numerous jobs and retired after 33 years with the Kelly Foundry as a molder operator.

Terry was a lover of nature, hunting, fishing and ginsenging. It gave him great enjoyment to teach his sons and grandchildren how to hunt and identify ginseng. He loved his family and spending time with them, especially during holiday and birthdays. He and his brother-in-law often spent time going out to eat and having great conversations.

Terry also took pleasure in times playing horseshoes and cards, riding his motorcycles and spending time on the mountain. Talking about the âgood ole daysã while snacking with friends and family at the cabin that he and his brother had built was another of his happy places.

Loving the outdoors, you could usually find Terry watching the wildlife or playing with his beloved dogs, Precious and Pojo. Terry and Pinkie’s favorite times of late, were spent relaxing while watching westerns and game shows. He will be missed by his family and friends.

Terry’s request for cremation will be honored. A time to celebrate his life will be held at Randolph Funeral Home on Monday, July 13, 2026, from 5 until 7 p.m., the funeral hour.

The family would also like to express their heartfelt thanks to the doctors and nurses at Davis Medical Center, United Hospital Center, and WVU Ruby Memorial Hospital for their compassionate care Terry received throughout his illness.
