In Loving Memory of Terry Stesco 1943 – 2025. It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Terrance Wayne Stesco, in his 81st year, surrounded by love. Terry was predeceased by his loving parents George and Anne Stesco and his granddaughter, Rosemary Lynn (Rosie). He leaves behind a legacy of love, family, and kindness.
Cherished husband of 54 years to Marrion, Terry was a devoted family man who enriched the lives of everyone around him. Proud father to Michael (wife Kathryn), Christopher, and Sarah (husband Brent). Loving grandfather (Didi) to Lia, Aidan, Sophia, Ellie, Hannah, and Felix. He will be deeply missed by his brothers George (wife Cheryl), Steven (wife Roberta), and Raymond (wife April) and his nieces and nephews.
Terry grew up in Sudbury, Ontario, and cherished summers at Aunt Mary’s Island on Lake Penache. He worked for 30 years at Ontario Power Generation in Pickering, earning the respect of his colleagues. A man of strong faith, Terry attended church regularly, finding solace in his community. Known for his friendly and chatty nature, Terry had a gift for brightening any room with his conversation and brightly coloured clothing.
Terry’s passions included gardening, cheering for the Buffalo Bills and Manchester United, and traveling the world with his family. He created lifelong memories exploring Canada, the United States, and Europe, including cherished trips to Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Terry’s memory can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Terry’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. May he rest in peace in the presence of God, surrounded by the beauty and love he cherished in life.
