Terry Embry brother, uncle, great uncle, Godfather and friend passed into eternal life on Friday, September 23, 2022. Terry courageously endured his year long blood cancer battle with great patience, positivity, and most importantly, his faith and hope in eternal life. He offered up his suffering for all those who prayed and cared for him. Terry was a life long Texan, a true gentleman, and a devout Catholic.

Terry was born on July 30, 1956 in Corpus Christi, Texas to Lena (Ganc) & John Embry. He was the third oldest of four sons. Terry attended WB Ray High School.

Terry was an active parishioner of Mater Dei Latin Mass Parish in Irving, TX and a member of the Mater Dei Knights of Columbus Council #15033. Terry was also a Confirmation sponsor. Beyond his love for the Latin Mass, he enjoyed many Sunday potlucks after Mass and fellowship in the parish bookstore. Terry also had a strong devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus attending many First Friday evening Masses for years.

Some of Terry’s favorite pastimes included, retreats at Clear Creek Abbey, spiritual reading including the Divine Office, researching Catholic history, UT football, and politics. He was a fixture of East Dallas, and could be found enjoying refreshment at many of the family owned restaurants over the years including Campisi’s, the Daire-ette and Barbec’s.

The family thanks Fr. Ramirez, Fr. Bauknecht and Fr. Cunningham for their spiritual guidance and comfort of Terry. They would also like to thank Terry’s doctors and friends from The Village, Mater Dei and the Young Serrans who rallied behind Terry providing rides, meals, light housekeeping, hospital visits and many prayers during his extended illness.
