Jim Terbrock, age 68, passed peacefully from this life on December 29, 2016, after a prolonged struggle with cancer. Jim was born February 1, 1948 to Martin and Bergitta (Gerst) Terbrock in St. Charles, Missouri. On June 14, 1992 Jim was united in marriage to Sunny Haley, and they made their home in Osage Beach, Missouri; sharing almost 25 years of marriage. Jim is survived by his wife Sunny; his sons, Jimmy Terbrock and wife, Katie, of Ballwin, Missouri and Tim Terbrock of Kaiser, Missouri; his stepsons, Sean Dreesen of Osage Beach, Missouri, and James Haley of Fair Grove, Missouri; his brothers Jerry Terbrock of Twin Oaks, Missouri, Tom Terbrock and wife, Cathy, of Catawissa, Missouri, and Pat Terbrock of Villa Ridge, Missouri; and his sisters, Cathy Barry of Ballwin, Missouri and Cecilia Hawken and husband Jerry, of Lake Ozark, Missouri; his grandchildren, Tyler Terbrock, Harlie Jo Dreesen, Brooke & Oliver Haley, and Connor Terbrock; and his great-grandson, Kyson Terbrock; numerous Aunts, Uncles, Nephews and Nieces, beloved friends, and faithful dog, Shine. Jim was a 1966 graduate of Lafayette High School in Ballwin, Missouri and "lettered" in golf. He caddied many tournaments in Clayton, Missouri while attending high school and continued to love the sport. Jim became a mechanic and shared his love of fast cars and racing with many friends. Summers would find him "wrenching or driving" at several local tracks. Jim worked for John Vernon Williams, at Williams Motors in Camdenton, Missouri for many years. He later moved to Osage Beach and began working for Mike Smith at Precision Auto and retired after 28 years of loyal service. In his spare time, Jim loved golfing, fishing, camping, helping his family, friends, and neighbors and his afternoon walks with Shine. He enjoyed shooting trap, marksmanship contests and took the time to instruct his sons, the grands, and many nieces and nephews on the importance of gun safety. Jim was a loving husband, father, grampa, brother, uncle, caring neighbor and loyal friend. He had a zest for life and a wonderful sense of humor. We will Celebrate his Life, and the many treasured memories he created for his family and friends. Memorial services will be held January 8, 2017, at 2:00 pm at JB's, 1498 Hwy KK, Osage Beach, MO Memorial donations, in lieu of flowers, may be made in Jim's memory to Hospice Compassus in Osage Beach.
