Born on March 17, 1961, in Talladega, Alabama, Terry Leroy Curry was the son of Dallas Curry, Jr. and Odessa Stamps Curry. He grew up in a loving family and was known for his warm smile and kind-hearted nature. At a young age, Terry professed Christ as his Lord and Savior when he united with Union Springs Missionary Baptist Church serving faithfully as a trustee until his health began to fail. He received his education in the Talladega County School System and was a graduate of Munford High School. Following his graduation, he proudly served his country in the United States Army for over three years before honorably completing his service. Prior to his honorable discharge, he furthered his education becoming a 36K10 tactical wire operations specialist and being the recipient of the Army Service Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon, and Rifle M-16 (Sharpshooter). After returning to civilian life, Terry found fulfillment in his career at North American Bus Industries (NABI) where he excelled as a Utility Leader in the Paint Department for over two decades. He took immense pride in his work and was highly regarded by his colleagues. Beyond his professional accomplishments, Terry had a passion for cars. In his retirement years, he indulged in his love for car detailing, rebuilding, and painting cars. He was known in the community for his expert craftsmanship and attention to detail. Terry enjoyed spending quality time with his loved ones and had a special place in his heart for football. He was an avid fan of the Alabama Roll Tide and cheering for his team brought him immense joy. Terry Leroy Curry, a beloved husband, father, son, and cherished member of the Talladega community, peacefully passed away on November 19, 2023, at the age of 62. Once answering the Master's call, he was reunited with his mother, Odessa Curry. He is survived by his devoted wife of 21 years, Clarissa Curry, who shared 40 beautiful years of memories with him. His loving memory will also be carried forward by his son, Steven Curry; three daughters, Angela Garrett, Lakia Taylor, and Janesha Curry.
