It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Chad Emerson Terry and Shirley Ann (Englert) Terry. Both were cherished members of their communities in Pennsylvania. Their lives, though distinct, were intertwined through family and faith.
Chad Emerson Terry
Chad Emerson Terry, 36, of Lewisburg, PA, stepped from time into eternity on March 26, 2024. He was born on July 2, 1987, in Williamsport, PA, to his loving parents Marc E. and Karen J. (Witmer) Terry of Lewisburg.
Chad was a graduate of Meadowbrook Christian School. His precision and attention to detail were evident in everything he pursued, mirroring his father's ability to fix anything that required expertise. The phrase “that’s not possible” was a challenge to him that always resulted in him finding the most brilliant and creative solutions. Those who knew Chad were always left with a smile on their face.
His love for people was rooted in his love for his Savior, Jesus. His desire was for everyone to know Jesus. Chad was intentional with all his friendships leaving them feeling inspired, encouraged and loved to the fullest. He always gave of himself, asking for nothing in return.
His greatest joys in life were spending quality time with people, watching NASCAR with his family, and being in the shop with his dad and brother at MAC Towing & Hauling, their family business. He was always up for an adventure no matter how big or small, from driving across the country to making a Sheetz run late at night.
