Terry Swank 49, of New Philadelphia, died Tuesday, April 5, 2022, in his residence. Born August 9, 1972, in Massillon, he was a son of Patty (Sam) Schaefer of Randolph and Randy (Tina) Swank of New Philadelphia.
Terry was a 1992 graduate of Waterloo High School. He was a very quiet young man. As a child he was very loving and protective of his mother. He loved going to his grandparents homes and always had a smile on his face everywhere he went. Times were not always happy for him but he persevered and made the best of his life that he could. It is hard to believe that Terry is no longer with us, but we have great memories of him growing up and will always keep his memories alive in our hearts. Terry, may you rest in peace. We love you.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his brothers Rob (Meghan) Swank, Jeremy (Kelsey) Schaefer, Alex (Jessami) Schaefer, and a sister Amber (Jake) Stephen; nieces and nephews Reilly and Teagan Swank, Patton, Nellie, and Radie Schaefer, Alma Schaefer and Kole, Tyler and Jackson Stephen and grandparents George Krieger of New Philadelphia and Charlene Swank of Bolivar.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents Dorothy Krieger, Richard Swank, and Leon and Lucille Schaefer.
A private family service will be held at the Lebold-Smith Funeral Home in Bolivar with Pastor Bill Eckert officiating.
