Terry W. Hale passed away in Fort Worth, TX at the age of 84 on Saturday, December 20, 2025

Terry was born in Florida, grew up in Ohio, and the family moved to Texas in 1960, where he spent his adult life. He loved working on cars, enjoyed riding motorcycles, and boating. He took great pride in his yard and enjoyed landscaping. He loved animals, always having dogs and cats he cared for and loved. He was a life-long salesman. Many people have stories of him selling them their first car. If anyone had a question about a vehicle, he was the one who could answer your question. He excelled at making lifelong customers because he never met a stranger. He loved to talk to people, and this is evident by the numerous friends he has left behind. He was the ultimate handyman, always able to repair anything. He made handmade ink pens and enjoyed sharing them with family and friends. He enjoyed traveling, going on adventures with his wife, including cruising and Las Vegas.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Jack and Edna Hale, and his brother Steve Hale.

Left to cherish his memory is, Theresa Hale, his beloved wife of 51 years. He leaves behind one sister, Judy McIntosh and her husband John, four children, Chris Hale and his wife Zina, Kari Tarvin and her husband Tim, Lana Lane and her husband Doug, and Jennifer Watkins and her husband Austen. He had 11 grandchildren, 3 who sadly preceded him in death, and 19 great grandchildren, 1 that sadly preceded him in death.
