Terance Andrew "Terry" Regan, 68, of Houston, Texas, passed away on February

26, 2025, after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Born on October 12,

1956, in New Orleans, Louisiana, Terry eventually made Houston his home,

where he built a legacy both in business and in the hearts of those who knew

him.

Terry began his career as a talented sign painter at a time when artistry was still

done by hand. As technology advanced, he seamlessly adapted, buying an

electronic vinyl cutter and later earning his Master Sign Electricians license.

From his earliest days, Terry owned and operated his own business, employing

many as contractors and leaving an indelible mark on the local sign industry. His

dedication and work ethic were legendary—so much so that in his first year of

marriage, he was hand-painting an airplane on Christmas Eve. For Terry, work

was not just a job; it was a calling. Building his business into a thriving venture

was one of his proudest achievements.

Though known for being a bit of a grouch—especially when work brought on

stress—Terry's wit and subtle humor often brightened the room. Quiet and

reserved but fiercely intelligent, he was generous to a fault, often insisting on

paying for group meals and helping those around him in practical, hands-on

ways. While his business was his true passion and often left little time for

hobbies, Terry found joy in rare fishing trips and traveling for business.

Terry's proudest moments came with the births of his daughters, Kelly Rodriguez

and Teresa Regan, who, along with his wife Suzanne Regan, survive him. He is

also survived by his sisters Jackie Matthews and Elizabeth Belk. He was

predeceased by his sister Jerri Ellen Escoffier.

A graveside ceremony was held July 25, 2025, at Glenwood Cemetery in

Conneaut, Ohio. If Terry could return for even one more day, his family would tell

him that their world will never be the same without him. He was deeply loved,

steadfast, and truly irreplaceable—their rock
