Terrance "Terry" Michael Hogan

With heavy hearts, we announce the peaceful passing of Terrance Michael "Terry" "Ter" Hogan on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family.

To know Terry was to know someone who lived life loud—in every sense of the word, including his laugh! Whether it was the music blasting from the speakers, the roar of a lawnmower, the laughter of friends and family around the pool, or one of his legendary stories, Terry had a way of making every moment memorable.

Above all else, Terry was devoted to his family. He leaves behind the love of his life and adoring wife, Shelley, whose unwavering love and partnership were the foundation of a beautiful life together. He was a proud father to Stacey (Jheanell) Hogan and Shauna (Jason) Black, and an incredibly proud grandfather to Deacon, McKenna, Blake, and Alexandria, who brought endless joy to his life and were never far from one of Grandpa Ter's hugs, jokes, or words of encouragement.

Terry also shared many years and two wonderful children with his first wife, Michele. Together they built the foundation of a family that remained one of Terry's greatest sources of pride throughout his life.

Terry will also be lovingly remembered by his sister, Kathy (Kevin) Quinn, and was predeceased by his brother, Tony (Mary) Hogan. Nothing made Terry happier than gathering with his siblings and his ever-growing extended family. Whether it was cousins, nieces, nephews, in-laws, family lunches, holiday celebrations, or another round of golf, Ter was happiest when everyone was together. He believed there was always room for one more chair at the table, another steak on the BBQ (even if it started out frozen), and another story to tell. Family wasn't just important to Terry—it was everything.

For many years, Terry worked as a Millwright at Moen Canada, where his larger-than-life personality extended well beyond the shop floor. A passionate kickboxer, he started lunchtime kickboxing classes for his co-workers, inspiring and teaching staff several days a week for more than a decade. His love of the sport led him to proudly train and coach competitive women's kickboxers throughout the 1990s, helping many athletes develop confidence, strength, and discipline.

Terry's love of sports was lifelong. From his teenage years into his 40s, he played both hockey and ball hockey, loving every minute of the competition and camaraderie. And when it came to watching hockey, there was only one team that mattered—the Philadelphia Flyers. Through every season, good or bad, Ter proudly cheered on his Flyers and was always ready to debate the latest game with anyone who would listen.

Music was Terry's first love. As a young man, he taught himself to play the drums and performed in both rock and polka bands during the 1960s. That passion for music never faded. In later years, visitors to his beloved cabin in Hockley always knew when Terry was home—classic rock filled the air, the barbecue was sizzling, and a glass of his favourite "red" was never far from reach.

The cabin was Terry's happy place. It wasn't just a property; it was where memories were made. He took tremendous pride in keeping the lawn perfectly trimmed, waving to every neighbour as they passed by, and maintaining a swimming pool that sparkled like diamonds. It quickly became the gathering place for family, friends, neighbours, and former co-workers. If there was food on the grill, music playing, and people laughing, Terry was exactly where he wanted to be.

He also shared a special bond with his beloved dog, Sabby, whose companionship filled his daily walks and held a very special place in his heart.

Retirement suited Terry well. Summers were spent golfing whenever he could with his cousin Gary, his children Stacey and Shauna, and his many friends from Moen and Hockley Valley. Staying active remained a priority, and Terry was a familiar face at 9Round Fitness in Orangeville and Guelph, proudly completing more than 1,300 rounds. His commitment to fitness never faded, and he continued to inspire others with his energy and determination.

Terry will be remembered for his incredible work ethic, his generosity, his unwavering love for family, his sense of humour, and his ability to turn ordinary days into unforgettable ones. He never met a stranger, loved a good laugh, and had a remarkable gift for making everyone feel welcome.

If Terry taught us anything, it was to turn the music up a little louder, cheer a little harder for the Flyers, laugh until your sides hurt, cherish your family, and never pass up an opportunity to gather with the people you love.

Though our hearts are broken, we know Terry would rather we celebrate than mourn. So raise a glass of red wine, play your favourite rock song, fire up the barbecue, throw a steak on the grill (frozen or not), tell a great story, and think of Ter.

His life was well lived, his love was deeply felt, and his legacy will continue through the countless lives he touched.

A private family celebration of Terry's life will be held. In honour of Ter, we invite you to turn up your favourite classic rock song, cheer on the Flyers, share a story with family or friends, and raise a glass of red in his memory.

Forever loved. Forever remembered. Forever our Ter.
