Terence Luttrell Obituary (1963

Gig Harbor resident Terence Luttrell passed away Sunday August 19, 2012 after a three year battle with prostate cancer. Born on January 10, 1963 in Cheyenne WY, Terence was the second eldest of Ken and Jimmy Ann Luttrell's four children. Following his graduation from East High, he received his degree in Parks and Recreation at the University of Wyoming in 1986. Even as a child, Terence embraced nature: by 15 he was an experienced angler, catching fish in size and numbers. Throughout his life he was an accomplished hunter, holding national and world records with Boone and Crockett, whose mission promotes sustainable wildlife conservation, encouraging passion and the highest ethical standards for fair chase and sportsmanship. Terence's first Parks and Recreation Job in Kemmerer Wyoming gave him the opportunity to work with his best friend Jim Sessions for many years. There, he met and married his wife, Sherry (Parker) on May 5, 1989. Together they raised their three children in Kemmerer, and in 1994 planted and pastored their first Foursquare church. They moved their family to Seattle in 2001 to become associate pastors at Horizon Foursquare Church. Terence was pleased to be integrally involved in planting Seattle's first Mienh church. Terence and Sherry have three beautiful children Nadine (Mike), Eric (Callie) and Andrew (Chris); and 3 grand children, Isabelle (9), Ethan (7) and Anna (4), all residing in Gig Harbor Wa. He is also survived by his brother Daniel K. Luttrell and his family of Colorado Springs. Terence's abundant love and faith was ample for his family and his church, with respite for hunting and fishing. Partner-in-life Sherry was his hunting partner, too, sharing daily laughter and love. Terence proudly called her his Bride. She became his bride again when they renewed their vows eight days before his death. Because of their abiding and powerful belief in Eternal Life through Jesus Christ, Our Saviour, Sherry and Terence and their many family and friends faced death with strength and without fear. A celebration of Terence's life will be on Thursday at Haven of Rest in Gig Harbor at 2 PM Refreshments to follow at the family home.
