Terrence Joseph Dee
Peacefully surrounded by his family Terrence, “Terry” Dee of O’Fallon, MO took his last breath here on earth on Tuesday, January 4, 2022, at the age of 76. Loving husband of 58 years to Pat Dee, devoted father of Terry Jr (Judy), Dan (Kim), Maureen Salyers(Chris), Dawn Bibbs (Isiah), and Scott (Theresa). Cherished grandfather to 16, great grandfather to 10. Loving father to his 2 fur babies, Caddi and Bandit. Dear brother of Colleen Daly, Maureen Burgess, Sharon Schilling, Tommy Dee, Patti Hayes, Mickey Dee, and Debbie Derr. Brother-in-law and proud uncle to many and a friend to all that knew him. Preceded in death by his mother and father, Maury and Virginia Dee.
Terry was an amazing family man who proudly served his country in the United States Air Force. Owner of Dee’s Produce for 50 plus years where his successes were well earned. The personification of hard work, yet never a loss for a smile and kind word. You knew Terry was in the room, and his goal was to always make the day better for those in it. An avid golfer, hunter, snow skier, and traveler in his RV with a goal of spoiling his grandkids and puppies. He fought a seven-year battle and is now at rest in heaven.
Terry was a beacon of a man that will be greatly missed by all.
Interment will be at Jefferson Barracks on January 18, 2022, at 1 pm. Following Internment family and friends are invited to the KC Hall 1270 Church Rd. St. Paul, MO.
In lieu of flowers please make donations to St Judes or the American Lung Association in memory of Terry.
A celebration of life will be planned at a later date.

Sweet man dad and grandpa! we love you Dee family!
People come & go thru our journey thru life but some put a special place in our heart, Mr. Dee was one of those guys that I always felt I could get a laugh out of every time I saw him, he always talked about his kids and how blessed he was to have such a wonderful wife & family.
My only regret was not stopping by and sharing a laugh or two.
He is in a better place for sure and one day I will share a laugh or two with him again.
You are so Loved and so missed by so many and we are all so Blessed to have had you in our lives. It has been a blessing for me to have such a great man who showed such a great example of how to be great a Husband, Father, Brother, Friend, Grandpa and good person and roll model for everyone to see. I Love you and could not have asked for a better man as father in-law I always felt loved and welcomed as part of the family thank you.
You are Missed You are Loved and You will always be Remembered
