Terry Greger, 76, Apache Junction, AZ, passed away on Sunday, August 3, 2025, at his residence surrounded by his family after a long battle with Alzheimer’s.
A Celebration of Life will be held from 12-3 p.m. on October 15, 2025 at the Brandon Steakhouse, in Brandon, SD. Condolences may be sent to the Terry Greger family at 1503 W. Golden Ore Pass, Apache Junction, AZ 85120.
Terry Greger was born in Sioux City, IA on December 18, 1948, to Lester and Blanche (McElroy) Greger. He was the youngest of seven children.
In 1951 Terry moved to Wagner, SD, with his family and attended school there. Terry attended school until the 8th grade. That is when he decided the life of a truck driver is what he longed for. He drove locally for several years before starting his career as an over the road driver with MCT. Then he went on to drive for Thompson Bros Inc. and East West Express before buying his own truck and working independently for 18 years. His career spanned for a total of over 50 years. He met his wife Sally (Fitzgerald) in 1978. They were married for 47 years.
Terry is survived by his wife, Sally; daughters, Paige (Russell Jr.) Brandt-Fitzwater, Apache Junction, AZ, Shonette Gibson, Apache Junction, AZ, and Teresa (Jeffrey) Becker, Fort Myers, FL; grandchildren, Noah (Amie) Brandt, Larchwood, IA, and Josie Engel, Apache Junction, AZ; and great-granddaughter, Serratelli Brandt, Larchwood, IA.
Terry was preceded in death by his parents, Lester and Blanche; five brothers; and two sisters.
My heartfelt sympathy for the family. He was a good, loving human being that made friends wherever he went.
I am so sorry for your loss
