Terry Alsdurf, 68, of Mesa, AZ, passed away on July 26, 2012, after a long battle with cancer. Terry was born Dec. 1, 1943. He is preceded in death by his parents, Fern and Leonard, and his brother, Dallas. He leaves behind his sister, Mona (Bill) Hoge, a niece, and a nephew.

Terry was the quintessential friend. If you needed something fixed, painted, tweaked, watered, a ride to or from somewhere, or just someone to talk toTerry was the one you turned to. He relished helping others. Terry had a large circle of friends from his youth that he loved and with whom he kept in close contact. He loved to travel, especially on his motorcycle. On any given day he would be off to South Dakota, Tennessee, or Alaska on his "bike" just to visit "for a while." Time was something Terry used as he wished, and friends were something he cherished, which is why his life, over too soon, was full with the beauty of both of these precious things. Terry will be missed, but never forgotten because of all the lives he touched along the way. Rest in Peace, Terry.

Please remember Terry by making a donation to the White Owl Community Center, White Owl, SD.

Graveside services will be held Thursday, August 23, 2012, at 11:00 a.m. at the White Owl Cemetery.
