Terrance Lynn Andrew

Terrance Lynn Andrew, born May 18, 1948, passed away peacefully at the age of 77 on September 30, 2025, surrounded by loved ones. He was preceded in death by his parents, Georgia and Les Andrew; his brother, Paul O'Mara; his sister, Joan O’Mara; and his granddaughter, Brittney Andrew.

Terrance is survived by his loving wife, Nancy Andrew; his children, Terrance Andrew, Gina (Herb) Pawlitschek, Kristen (Dan) Dobson, Tiffany (Dan) Monita, Angela Tuttle, Melonie Tuttle, and Jason Tuttle; his siblings, Bob O'Mara, Judy Davies, Ron O'Mara, Deb O'Mara, and Debbie Keil; 17 grandchildren; and 29 great-grandchildren, all of whom brought him great joy. He was proud of every family member and supported them through both big events and small moments.

A proud patriot, Terrance served his country with honor and carried that sense of duty throughout his life. He cared deeply for others—sharing stories, assisting fellow veterans, and always lending a hand to neighbors and friends. His encouragement meant a great deal to those around him.

Terrance also had a deep love for animals, especially dogs, and welcomed many into his home. He donated his time and skills as a photographer for MARS (Midwest Animal Rescue & Services), using his camera to help pets find new homes. For Terrance, photography was more than a pastime—it was a way to preserve memories and share the beauty he saw each day. He especially enjoyed capturing moments at family gatherings and local events, creating keepsakes for all.

With an adventurous spirit, Terrance traveled the country in his RV, meeting new people, exploring new places, and learning about history wherever he went. His passion for classic cars and motorcycles led to lasting friendships, and collecting knives was a hobby he enjoyed for many years.

Terrance will be remembered for his kindness, generosity, and steadfast presence. His laughter, friendship, and support left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. He leaves behind a legacy of service, love, and true friendship.

A private family ceremony will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to MARS: https://www.midwestanimalrescue.org/info/donate.
