Terry Wayne Saunders

Monday, July 7, 2014

Terry Wayne Saunders, 55, of Margate, Fla., died at his home after an extended illness on Friday, June 13, 2014.

Born Oct. 13, 1958 in Greencastle, he was the son of Nina and Wilfred Hurst of Danville.

Terry is survived by brother Vernon R. Saunders of Versailles, Ky., sister V. Sue Bright and husband Chris of Harrodsburg, Ky, nephew Jacob Saunders, Gainesville, Fla., and best bud Andy Holser of Margate. Also surviving are many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends too numerous to list but not forgotten.

Terry was preceded in death by his brother Timothy D. Saunders, his father Donald A. Saunders, paternal and maternal grandparents and step-grandfather Francis E. Underwood.

Terry received his high school diploma from Greencastle High School in 1977. He lived his dream of seeing America from coast to coast and back again many times, as he was a cross-country trucker headquartered out of Tacoma, Wash. He loved the road, the wildlife and the mystical sunrises and sunsets.

Terry was a NASCAR fan as well and enjoyed watching and attending races. He was a great friend to the people he knew and was very generous in so many ways. He will certainly be missed.

Graveside services will be held at 11 a.m. at New Providence Cemetery near Belle Union on Saturday, July 12.

Memorial donations may be made to the American Heart Association.
