The family of Terry William Sanderson, 63, is saddened to announce his passing on March 10th, 2025, in Provo, Utah.

Terry lived a life of love, family, and hard work.

He was born March 31, 1961, to Terry Sanderson and Carol Myers. He would be the oldest of seven boys, and grew up hunting, fishing and playing sports.

Terry then married Tina Marie Stennett on June 12, 1982, and together they shared over four decades together.

Within those decades his two daughters, Haley and Elizabeth, were born, and he loved being their father, coach and protector throughout the years. That love also spilled over to his grandchildren, including three added with Haley’s remarriage just two months prior to his passing.

Terry spent the majority of his career working as a technician for the Lake County Vector Control District in Lakeport, California. While his primary job was to spray for mosquitoes, he also maintained the vehicle fleet, designed and built various structures including a dock and a garage for the district, and basically did what needed to be done to keep the district running smoothly.

He also enjoyed coaching his girls in soccer and softball, and had recently gotten into RC crawling. He got to spend the final years of his life living with his grandchildren in Utah, and he cherished the connection they shared.

Terry is survived by his wife, Tina, and his daughters, Haley Reynolds (Matthew) and Elizabeth Martinez (Brayden). He is also survived by his grandchildren, Elsie, Emmett, Hattie, Rosie, Donovan, Adelynn and Emmeline.

He is also survived by his father, Terry Sanderson (Roxanna), and his brothers, Brett, Boyd, Fred (Kara), Craig (Kimberlyn), and Neil.

He is predeceased by his mother, Carol Myers; brother, Jack Edward; and son-in-law, Ryan Cole.

To know Terry was to feel loved and understood. He could talk to anyone, and children especially felt his calm and accepting demeanor. He will be greatly missed, and leaves behind a legacy of patience, love and laughter.

Services were held Wednesday, March 19, at 11 a.m. at the Sunset Stake Center in Provo, Utah.

There will also be a memorial held in Lakeport, California, with a date to be determined.
