Terry Ray Percy
1944 – 2024
On Saturday, December 21st, 2024, Terry Ray Percy passed away at his home in Edmond, OK, at the age of 80.
Born in North Platte, Nebraska to Edward Ray and Grace Ethel (Ward) Percy, Terry and his family soon relocated to Colorado where he attended school in the Denver area. He spent the last 23 years of his career as a Security Supervisor for Denver Water. Upon his retirement, he moved to Edmond, Oklahoma to be closer to his sister and nieces.
Terry will be remembered as someone who made friends easily and kept them for life. To know Terry even briefly, was a friend gained for life. He was the family historian and the center point of knowledge for both the Ward and Percy families. He fostered over a dozen young men and retained several of the relationships for life. He loved to travel and exclaimed that Canada was his most fond location, although New Orleans was a close second. His knowledge of classic cars was encyclopedic, and his love of lighthouses was displayed throughout his house.
He was preceded in death by his mother and father, sister, and three half-brothers. He is survived by his three nieces, Carla Rae Bartholomew, Caren Ruth Bartholomew, and Catherine René Hanson and husband, Kendall; great-niece, Brenna Dené Bartholomew and four great-nephews, Alex William, Ryan Patrick, Cooper Ray, and Josh Parker Hanson; and a host of cousins and other family.
Terry will be buried next to his sister in Stillwater, Oklahoma at Fairlawn Cemetery. Condolences may be sent to his home address: 3605 Steven Court, Edmond, OK, 73013. Donations in his honor can be made to Edmond Mobile Meals.
