Terry Lee Benford

June 22, 1948 - June 24, 2018

Terry Lee Benford passed away peacefully on the morning of June 24, 2018 surrounded by family at home after a three and a half year fight with liver cancer. Terry led a full life of service with a career in the military, working to serve vets in an academic setting after the military, to being a dedicated member and volunteer at his home church. To anyone that knew him, Terry was known for his servant’s heart, his snarky humor, and his fierce love and dedication to his family. He would frequently tell anyone that asked, all he needed to be happy was to be with his friends and family (although close friends knew to throw in a good steak and Jack Daniels to be a cherry on top). Terry is survived by his wife, Peggy, son and daughter in law, Patrick and Dawn Benford, daughter and son in law, Cathy and Mike Rogers, grandchildren, Elizabeth Benford, Thomas Rogers, Dillon Rogers, other extended family and friends, and various four legged fur children. Terry leaves behind a legacy of love and service that his loved ones will carry on in his honor. A Memorial service will be held 2 pm Saturday July 7, 2018 at Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd 200 W. College St. Terrell, Tx 75160.
