Supporting our beloved Terry

Terry Haugen, (66) of Williston, North Dakota, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday December 22, 2021 after suffering several heart attacks due to medical complications.

 

He was fiercely committed to family. Being a kind and dependable father and husband was of the utmost importance to Terry and he certainly did not disappoint when it came to wholeheartedly loving them. He was the rock of his family and is leaving his memory to his wife and two children, a dog and a cat, (luckily no fish). There was nothing he would not do for his family throughout his life. Going to all ends to surprise and delight them gave him the greatest joy and happiness.

 

Terry was a profound advocate for his community. Every stranger was a best friend waiting to be met, and there was little Terry would not do to ensure his community was taken care of, regardless of where they were. Always taking the time to listen to anyone who would stop by, leading fundraising efforts for Trinity Christian School, promoting on local radio shows to promote the current cause at heart, coaching basketball for future NBA players, being a Scoutmaster and sleeping in the wild, baking pies with hand placed pecans, volunteering, donating and giving back to others.

 

Terry loved the gift of giving. He was the first to write a check, give his time, or be a helping hand and open his heart to those in need. Terry was a man of deep faith and stood firmly in the path of God, giving back to those in need and learning as much as he could from his community of faith builders.

 

Terry will be deeply missed, leaving a hole in our hearts and community. What we once enjoyed and deeply loved, we can never lose. For all that we love deeply becomes a part of each of us and we must carry on his memory and spirit in our daily lives.

 

In lieu of flowers, the family would be blessed if you would consider supporting Lorena and Isaac with the unexpected funeral and medical expenses incurred during this time. Your generous gifts will significantly help them and are so deeply appreciated.

 

Terry, part of us went with you on the day God called you home and the other part of us will hold you dearly in our hearts to carry on the great work you inspired.
