BRIGGS, Terence Ernest -
October 1948 - July 2023
It is with a broken heart that we announce the passing of Terry Briggs, age 74, formerly of Ajax, in Belleville on July 8, 2023.
Terry is survived by his soulmate and beloved wife of 39 years, Beverley (Mason).
He will be missed by a special sister-in-law Wendy Mason of Ajax, and mother-in-law Marilyn Mason of Whitby; as well as sister Nina (Maurice) Boudreault and brother Jack (late Barb) Briggs, both of Quebec.
He is also survived by daughter Crystal Grimes, grandchildren Tanika, Jordan, Bailey and Jacob and one great grandson; and a countless number of nieces and nephews and friends. Terry was predeceased by his parents Charles and Elizabeth Briggs, brother Tom; sisters Doreen (late Bill) Robins and Audrey Trottier.
Friends were important to Terry, no more so than his high-school band mates Mike Laing, Bob Downie, Hector McLean, Rob Simpson and Eric Sandford.
He will also be forever missed by lifelong friends Brian and Kathy Dahlback of Oshawa.
Following a diagnosis of Parkinsons, in 2022 the decision was made to leave Ajax after 70 years and begin retirement in Brighton-by-the-Bay in the perfect lakeside home.
