Terrance Jerome Stutte was born on July 10, 1938, in Loyal, to Hugo and Florence [nee Dyre] Stutte. He attended school in Loyal and graduated from Loyal High School in 1956. Following his education, he enlisted in the U. S. Marines and served from 1956-1958 at Camp Pendelton. He married Carol O’Black on Jan. 10, 1959. The couple moved to Racine, and he worked for American Motors. They moved to Thorpe in 1961, where he worked on Dale Hubbard’s farm. In 1963, he moved back to Loyal and worked for Marshfield Homes and also hauled lumber for Jack Bertz. In the summer of 1973, he bought his own semi and drove for himself for 17 years. His wife died on Nov. 24, 1981. He married Dr. Deborah George on Aug. 16, 1985, at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, Loyal. They resided in Loyal, and in 1990, he began driving for SF Transport [formerly Smith Feeds] until 2003. He worked for Paul Bugar Trucking until the time of his death. He was a member of the National Streetrod Association, the Minnesota Streetrod Association and a charter member of the Loyal Snow Angels snowmobile club. His interests included motorcycling, snowmobiling, racing, NASCAR, street rods, deer hunting and water skiing. He enjoyed life and lived it to the fullest. Even though his time here was cut short, he accomplished many of the things he set out to do. He loved many people and enjoyed many activities on this earth and will surely enjoy racing with "the greats" above.

He will be sadly missed by his wife, Deb Stutte, Loyal; his daughter, Faith [Steve] Slizewski, Wausau; his grandson, Joseph; his brother, Duane [Margie] Stutte, Oconomowoc; his sister, Nan Jean [Ken] Koch, Garden Prairie, Ill.; nieces, nephews; godchildren; and many, many friends.

Preceding him in death were his parents; and his first wife, Carol.
