He was born on January 31, 1961, to Kearney and JoAnn (Mercer) McNeill.
Terry lived each moment to the fullest. Terry and Dianne loved to travel, whether it be by cruise ship or his 1981 CJ-5. Together, they created a beautiful life. He loved getting together with family and friends. He was always laughing and wanting to make others laugh. Terry was an avid outdoorsman who loved to hunt and fish. Terry was a wonderful “Pawpaw,” and he enjoyed spoiling his grandkids. From watching motocross races to sporting events, Terry never missed the chance to spend time with his children and grandchildren. Terry loved his two sons tremendously. He was so proud of their accomplishments and would brag on them every opportunity that he could to anyone that he would meet.
