On January 10, 2025, heaven gained a special angel with the passing of Terry John Vallala after a seven-month battle with Glioblastoma. He was surrounded by his loving family when he peacefully entered the gates of heaven ready to golf once again with his dad.

Terry was a dedicated teacher and proud coach for 30 plus years making a lasting impact on the students he taught, coached and everyone he met. In all that Terry did, his love of God influenced his life and those around him.

A man of great faith, Terry first and foremost loved his family. He will be lovingly remembered by his adoring wife of 34 years, Christine, his three children, Haley (Kevin), Lacey and Tyler and his grandchildren who were his forever joy, Haven, Kove and Rosie. Terry will be greatly missed by his mom Peggy Pierce (Tony), his brothers Kevin (Traci), Dino (Terri) twin brother Tony (Kelly) and his sisterDarcy (Len). Terry is also survived by his father-in-law and mother-in-lawDave and Lollie Williams aswell as his brother-in-lawMike (Traci). Terry was reunited in heaven with his dad, Don.
