He is preceed in death by his birth mother LaVon Loveland, brother Robin Vander Velden and daughter Aliecia. Further survived by other family and friends. Before his stroke Terry enjoyed his job of being a waiter. He had a love for telling his stories, which those of us that knew him best, always ended with and that's the truth! He was a big Milwaukee brewer fan. In his spare time he loved to fish and listen to his favorite radio station AM 620. He was not a complainer and always found to find a way to make things work despite even physical obstacles and get through day to day. Terry will be deeply missed by his family and friends. Our deepest thanks to the wonderful and compassionate staff at Waukesha Memorial Hospital. Everyone that was involved with his care treated him with dignity and respect and took the time to explain things to different family members scattered across different states. As well, a big thanks to Hartson funeral home for making this entire process go so smooth. We appreciate you taking the time on a Sunday to meet with us. We never felt rushed and were pleased with the sympathy and understanding that was given us with our situation.Visitation:Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, 4419 S.
