Terry Leon Gore, age 62 of Prosser, entered into rest on March 29, 2016 at Hospice at The Chaplaincy in Kennewick. He was born on January 2, 1954 to James and Lorita (Burns) Gore in Toppenish. He was raised and educated in Grandview and Prosser, where he finished his education at Prosser High School. After graduating, he tried dairy farming for a short time before working as manager of Star Foods in Grandview and Harvest Foods in Prosser. He later worked as a Hyster driver for Seneca Foods, then, Milne Fruit and Kenyon Cold Storage until an injury forced his retirement in 2006. He also did mechanic and electrical in Grandview and Prosser. In 1983, Terry and Linda Bailey were married and they were blessed with two daughters, Tanna and Krysta.
Terry enjoyed breaking and riding horses, farming, yardwork, swimming, carpentry and tools. A favorite pastime was spending time in the outdoors and camping. Most of all, he loved spending time with his family, especially the children. Terry was a hard worker and always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone. He was very spiritual and found enjoyment and peace in reading the Bible. He was baptized at the Assembly of God Church in 1983 and attended the Baptist Church in Grandview.
