Terry Gibbons, born in Spokane, WA, May 28, 1948, passed away on June 13, 2025, at the age of 77 at his home, with his wife, Karen, at his side. A devoted husband, Terry shared 50 loving years with Karen, who was also his best friend and constant companion. They both served in the US Army where they met and married while stationed at Brooke Army hospital in San Antonio, TX.
Known for his generous heart and willingness to help anyone in need, Terry was the kind of man who would give the shirt off his back. His strong Christian faith guided his life, and his kindness touched all who knew him.
He was preceded in death by his brother Ricky Gibbons and sister Minnie Gibbons. He is survived by his beloved wife, his niece Jennifer McCoy, and nephew Phillip Pillers.
Terry will be deeply missed and fondly remembered for his selflessness, faith, and love for life's simple joys.
