Terry Eugene Harroun

Terry E. Harroun, Sr, age 78, died in Augusta, GA on Sunday, Oct 26, surrounded by loved ones.

Terry was born on March 12, 1947 in Pontiac, Michigan to Claude and Geraldine (Diehl) Harroun. He enlisted in the Marine Corps and proudly served for 7 years, including two tours of duty in Vietnam. He met his future wife, Mary Kathryn Klein, on a blind date while on leave in Pittsburgh, PA on the day man first landed on the moon. This simple date launched a marriage, and together they had three children: Terry Jr, Faith, and Stephen.

At the age of 74 he packed up what he needed or cherished, bought a truck and a camper, and lived his life’s dream of traveling the country. He loved the open road and seeing locations he’d only dreamed of, and excitedly shared pictures and tales of the places he saw and the people he met along the way.

He is preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Linda, his wife, Kathy, and is survived by his siblings, Richard, Sandy, and Susan. In addition to his children he was a proud grandpa to Erin, Kathryn, Karin, Leah, Isaac, Anna, Liam, and Carter.

Terry will be remembered for rarely mincing words, telling long stories, having an exceptional work ethic, and being deeply involved in charitable organizations, notably the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He also relished being a royal PITA, and is sorely missed.

Friends and family will be received from 10AM to 12PM.  Friday, November 14, 2025 at the William G. Neal Funeral Home, Ltd., Washington, were services will be held at 12PM.  Interment will follow at The National Cemetery of the Alleghenies.  Military honors will be accorded by the Edwin S. Linton American Legion Post #175 and the United States Marines.
