Terry L Tiffany was born in Denver, Colorado on August 19, 1948, the son of Royal James Tiffany and Lucille Gladys (Reusch) Tiffany. He is survived by his wife of 47 years Marlene Marie (Bick) Tiffany, daughter Kimberly Patricia (Tiffany) Connell (Loren) of Jacksonville, Florida, and son Christopher Lee Tiffany (Cori), of Strasburg, CO. He is also survived by seven grandchildren, Daniele Lee (Andrew), Taiya MeRae, Kason James, Keegan James, L’Nigh Ann, Rylee Michelle, Hailen Lorenzo Ray and one great-grandchild, Guerin Terry. Also survived by sister-in-law, Karlene Lee (Steve) Martin, of Highlands Ranch, Colorado.

He was preceded in death by his sister Patricia Ann Tiffany as well as his parents Royal James and Lucille Gladys.

Graduating from Englewood High School in 1966, he was a member of the United States Navy between 1968 and 1972 where he was in Pearl Harbor and then served three tours in Vietnam. Following that he married Marlene Marie on August 3, 1973, which was followed by the birth of his two children, Kimberly and Christopher. He worked as a Quality Engineer for Lockheed Martin for 28 years before retiring in 2009, prior to which he worked at Norgren.

Terry had a heart of gold that included building a swing set in Vietnam for the orphanage, the best bear hugs, being his own version of Clark Griswold at Christmas. He would do anything for his family and never was a penny spared when it came to his grandkids. He loved fishing, camping, motorcycles, racing and for most of his life was not seen without a Black and Mild in his mouth. He welcomed anyone into his family as if they were one of his own and he never met a stranger that didn’t become a friend.
