Obituaries

Dear Margot and family, I was deeply saddened to learn of Terry's passing. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Margo I am sorry to hear of the passing of Terry. He will be missed but not forgotten. He was a considerate man and never missed the opportunity to coach Mya at the curling Rink.

Rest in Peace I will see you in the future

I hadn’t spent time with my cousin in recent years, but I was fortunate as a kid to have spent a lot of time with Terry on our family farm. He was often there and ready to help whenever needed, and was great friends with my big bro, and they were quite the duo! I’ll never forget when they rolled one of our grain trucks and walked back to the farmhouse (due to the water tank in the truck box and not bro's driving, ofc haha). When they arrived, it was quite a scene as they were banged up and bloodied, but the thing that sticks out in my memory is that I can recall Terry chuckling about it. And I can say that my most distinct memory of Terry is his laugh; it was infectious, and I can still hear it in my mind. As I think about him now, I can’t recall a memory where he didn’t have a smile on his face. He was always very interesting to listen to; when he was enthusiastic about a subject, he was almost animated, and that always drew people in. To those who were close to him, especially as he battled, I’m so very sorry - you have suffered a great loss.

Margot, I am so very sorry about Terry. You both continue to be in my prayers and I think of you often. If coffee is needed, let me know as I would love to see you.

My deepest condolences to you, Margot, Olga, Ivan, and sisters. Terry was more than a friend to me—he was a brother in every sense that matters. From the time we were young, I looked up to him and admired him deeply. We grew up side by side, inseparable in those early years, building a lifetime of memories from the simplest moments: lever hockey and cards in our pajamas on Christmas mornings at Grandma and Grandpa’s, long walks to the arcade, and the daily drives to school that somehow felt like adventures. The days we spent together at the farm remain among the most meaningful of my life. We worked from sunrise to dusk, then stayed up late talking about the universe, life, and everything we hoped to become. Those conversations shaped me. His presence steadied me. Terry had a rare loyalty—he was the kind of person you could depend on without question. We also shared a moment that changed us forever—a brush with death that bound us in a way words can’t fully explain. From that day on, we lived with a quiet gratitude, knowing that every sunrise was a gift, that time itself was sacred. Terry lived as a thoughtful, loving, and responsible man. The world is poorer without him—but far richer for the life he lived and the love he gave. He is already deeply missed, and he will always be remembered and loved.

Sending hugs, love and our deepest sympathy to Margot and all of the family. Such a loss to many.

Krista and your family so so sorry for the loss of Terry. He was a lovely kind man and anytime we saw him he was so welcoming. Your family has had so much loss this last year and our hearts break for all of you. Our deepest sympathy and hugs to everyone.

Hi Margot While I never met Terry, your obituary does an excellent job of painting a picture of a very interesting man. Linda and I are thinking of you. Best wishes, and I would love to see you at the MHMT Playhouse! Lawrence

I wish to pass on sincere condolences on behalf of myself and my dad, Jim. We were neighbours of the Mack family and remember Terry as a kind, genuinely great person.

Sincerely, Shannon Stoffel

Margot and family,

We deeply saddened by your loss. He was far more than a curling coach and true friend.... he was a mentor, teacher, guiding presence, and a true father figure to so many. His patience, kindness, and love for the game of curling shaped not only better curlers, but better people while he was mentoring Mya's teams. We will always be grateful for the lessons he taught both on and off the ice. If it weren't for Terry morning breakfast at the rink would never have happened. All the trips to Moose Jaw..and the bonspiels... Terry will never be forgotten and will always hold a seat at the Christmas party, back yard BBQ's, happy hour, celebrations of every event. Please know you are in our thoughts always. Tami, Mya, Dylan and Beau of course
