Obituary of Terry Alan Turner

Terry Alan Turner, 65, of Fairmont, WV, passed away on May 4, 2017 at his home surrounded by his loving family.

Terry was born in Fairmont, WV to Frank Turner, Sr and Margaret Turner on May 5, 1951. He graduated from Fairmont Senior High School in 1969, and went on to earn a business degree from WVU. He worked at Bauer Lumber for a number of years before purchasing the Fairmont Dairy Queen. For the past 25 years, Terry enjoyed a career - and a wonderful work family - at Trailer City, where he served as the Finance and Insurance Manager. He was an avid photographer, a lover of music, the WVU Mountaineers, and a lifelong member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, where he served as the treasurer while in college, and the Chapter Advisor for the remainder of his life.  

Terry was blessed with the friendship of a group of men who shared a lifetime of laughing, loving, traveling, dining, skiing, golfing and showing up whenever, and wherever, they needed each other -  most especially during this last week.   

He is survived by his mother, Margaret Turner; his brother Dan Turner and his wife Sharon; his sister Lou Anne Pauley and her husband Dwight; his nieces Jodi Hume and Britney Rosenberger and their families; his god daughter Nicole Janes Archibald; and his beloved companion, Trailer Cat. He is preceded in death by his father, Frank Turner.
