Terrance Trego Yearout Obituary (1949

In the early morning quietness of May 9, 2023, Terry closed his eyes and peacefully slipped away. He was born in Boise, Idaho, on January 26, 1949, to Mildred and Terry Yearout. He had fond memories of being in Moses Lake with his grandparents, being at the gas station, and fishing. So many memories he shared growing up, moving around while his father worked construction. While attending Prosser High School, he played basketball for Coach Mel Bowden. The team won the state championships in 1967. His teammates who are still living, including the coach, would call and check on him, which brought a lot of joy to him. He was invited to try out for pitching for the Pittsburg Pirates baseball team through Legion Ball, but sadly he got his draft notice Christmas Eve of 1968. He entered the Army in January 1969. He had several memories of duty stations, but none more than when he was stationed in Bangkok, Thailand, at the field hospital. From there, he would fly into Vietnam and retrieve wounded soldiers to bring them back to the medical base and help care for them. After leaving the Army in 1972, he re-enlisted in the Navy, until he retired. After he retired, he stayed on the farm taking care of his stepdad, Norton Grow, who he always referred to as Dad. He stayed on the farm until Norton passed away from Parkinsons. He worked and retired from the Postal Service. While there, he met his wife, Nancy. Nancy brought with her five sons, who he always referred to as his own. This made for a lot of interesting times! He shared his love of fishing and hunting with them all. He spent many hours making trolling gear and lures for himself and loved ones. His fishing buddy and brother, Gale, would go out and fish, Pot Holes Rife Lake or wherever they ended up. On one occasion he went to Montana with Rick, Randy and Kelly for a week of brother time. He loved it. He is preceded in death by his mother, Mildred Grow, stepfather, Norton Grow, brother, Jeff Grow, sister, Linda Brobst, father-in-law, Gerald E. Cady, and stepfather-in-law, Dick Watts. He is survived by his wife, Nancy, his sons, Steve (Amy), Joe (Vanessa), Chris (Becky), Joshua (Lena), Cody (Savannah), his father, Terry Yearout, sisters, Normalou Telford, Valorie Kirk, brothers, Gale (Carroll) Grow, Rick (Ruth) Yearout, Kelly (Teresa) Yearout, Randy (Holly) Yearout, mother-in-law, Karmen Watts, brothers-in-law, Jay T. (Andrea) Cady, Jon Cady, and several nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles. Family was everything to Terry. He loved all of you.
