Terry Dewayne Gresham

Terry Dewayne Gresham, 57, of Cove, Texas, passed away on Sunday, May 31, 2020, in Temple, Texas. He was born on May 1, 1963, in Liberty, Texas to the late Charlotte A. Oldham and Roland T. Gresham. Terry attended Anahuac High School class of 1982 and later pursued a career in the pipeline industry. He worked as a pipeline inspector for the past 13 years and considered himself a hardcore pipeliner. Terry was an extremely hard worker, dedicating 6 days a week to his industry.

Terry was an avid NASCAR fan, dedicating most of his Sundays to watching his favorite sport. If he wasn’t watching NASCAR, you could find him on a waterway on his jet ski. Terry had such a big heart, was a gentle giant, fun and so friendly. He had a very funny side to him and loved to tell jokes. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
