July 25, 1944 – October 5, 2019
Terry passed away peacefully on October 5, 2019 in the loving arms of his “helper honey” wife Kathy.
Terry was born in Milwaukee, WI on July 25, 1944 to Donald and Leta Nairn and was the eldest of three siblings Virginia “Ginny“ and David Nairn. He grew up in Greendale Wisconsin and attended University of Wisconsin Whitewater before beginning a successful career in sales and construction management. He chased his dream of year-long boating and moved to Florida in 1984 where he founded Encompass Construction. Terry sold Encompass and retired in 2006 with his loving wife Kathy.
Terry and Kathy spent their time sailing, motorcycling, camping, hiking, and biking around the US and Caribbean. Terry loved sharing his adventures and spending time with his family. He would often be seen at his kids and grandkids sporting events, recitals, tournaments, concerts, and ceremonies. As a man with deep spiritual beliefs he was extremely active in his church and was a long-time member of the Board of Trustees at First United Methodist Church of Hobe Sound.
Terry is survived by his wife of 32 years, Kathleen Nairn, children Timothy (Christina) Nairn, Jeffery Nairn, Richard (Susy) Skony, Kristine (Chad) Clements and Kenneth (Natalie) Skony; His adoring grandchildren, Joey Skony, Sara (Justin) Exposito, Taylor Nairn, Tanner Nairn, Alex Skony, Kelsey Clements, Jackson Nairn, Richard Dompierre and Cody Clements; His brother David (Shirley) Nairn, nephew Bryan (Liz) Nairn and their children Amelia & Ellie. He was predeceased earlier this year by his sister Ginny (Jean Schmuhl) Nairn.
Terry will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him.
