Mr. Terrence "Terry" Brian Stokes
June 21, 1941 - May 10, 2013
Mr. Terry Stokes passed away in Stettler, Alberta on Friday, May 10, 2013 at the age of 71 years. He is survived by his sisters Kathleen, Sylvia and Pat and their families all of British Columbia and by other relatives and friends. Terry grew up on Vancouver Island. He then moved to Alberta and spent several years in the Strathmore area. There he was employed by Bruce Farms as a hired man. He then moved to Stettler around 1975 and worked for a few different farms again as a hired man. Terry was a man who was not afraid to put in a hard days work and spent the remainder of his working years working at various jobs in the Stettler area including hauling Anhydrous Ammonia, and then apprenticed as a machinist before he retired. In his retirement, Terry found many very enjoyable pastimes, never being a person to sit idle. Terry loved to restore classic cars and took great pride in transforming them from top to bottom. When he was done, the vehicle looked as if it just pulled off the showroom floor. He also spent many quiet hours building model airplanes. Terry loved the outdoors and so enjoyed the time that he could spend just working out in his yard. Terry was a hard worker and good friend and he will be missed by all who knew him. At Terry's request, there will be no formal funeral service take place at this time. As an expression of sympathy and in loving memory of Terry, memorial contributions may be made to the Stollery Children's Hospital or to the Alberta Children's Hospital in care of Brennen Funeral Home and Cremation Services P.O.
