Terry R. McPherson, 67, of Massillon, was reunited with the love of his life on April 3, 2023. He was born on November 11, 1955, in Coshocton, Ohio to the late Francis and Betty (Eltringham) McPherson.
Terry was a 1974 graduate of Massillon Washington High School and proudly served his country in the United States Army for 4 years.
He worked as a truck driver for most of his life, but more recently was employed with Wooster Motor Ways where he retired from after 24 years of service.
Terry was a devoted husband to the late Jacqueline “Jackie” McPherson whom he married on May 7, 1988. They shared many memories together over the years and some of their happiest memories were made at Walt Disney World, which they visited often. They were also active members at First Assembly of God where they both volunteered in the soup kitchen for many years.
Not only was Terry a devoted husband, but he was also a loving dad, brother, and the family jokester who was always ready to make you laugh even when he himself wasn’t in the best spirits.
Terry’s greatest title in life though, known by his beloved grandchildren, was “Popple” and spending time with them meant everything to Terry.
He will be deeply missed by his sons, Charlie (Michelle) Anderson and Tommy (Christen) Anderson; grandchildren Rayna, Mace, Airo, and Annabel Anderson, Seamus “Me” Haynes and Vinny Deetz; siblings, Penny (Mike) Wilson, Tim (Jen) McPherson, Renay McPherson, Frank (Kim) McPherson, Tammy (Dave) Hathaway, and Pam Pandrea.
In addition to his parents and wife, Terry was preceded in death by his brother, Bryan McPherson.
The family will receive friends on Saturday, April 15th from 10am to 12pm at the Paquelet Funeral Home in Massillon. A memorial service will begin at 12 p.m. and inurnment will take place at Sunset Hills Memory Gardens following the service.
