Terry was born at St. Boniface Hospital to Ted and Joan Witoski on January 25, 1955, and was the eldest of four children. He spent much of his youth growing up in St. James, Winnipeg.

In the 1970s, Terry lived in Drayton Valley, Alberta for a brief period where he married Theresa Durocher before returning to Manitoba to raise his children in Lorette, MB.

In 2009, he met and married his wife, Jani, and for the most part they resided in Portage la Prairie, MB.

Terry devoted many years to his career as a long-haul driver. After retirement, he continued staying busy with smaller trucking jobs. He had a passion for fishing, ATV trails, camping, road trips, and being outdoors. He loved spending time with his dog Kodiak and cat Tundra.

Above all, Terry’s greatest joy was his family. His ability to connect with people and his commitment to loved ones brought warmth to every gathering -especially with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild.

The family will be holding a private family service.
