Thomas Hunt Terry, III, age 69 of Seguin, passed away on December 25, 2020.
Hunt was born on May 31, 1951 in Seguin, Texas, to Mildred (Traeger) and Thomas Hunt “T. H.” Terry, Jr. Hunt Terry graduated from Seguin High School in 1969 and then attended The University of Texas at Austin, graduating with a BBA from the McCombs School of Business.
He met his wife, Ann Degenhardt, at UT and they married on August 19, 1972. They later moved to Seguin in 1980 when Hunt joined the family business, C.W. Traeger Wholesale Grocery.
He was involved in the community, as a longtime member and president of the Seguin Rotary Club from 1986-87.
He was also elected to serve on the Seguin ISD school board. In addition, being involved in both of his son’s school activities was very important to him.
Hunt and Ann shared a love of camping and RVing. They first made the rounds in a popup camper and in retirement moved up to bigger trailers and RVs to tour the country, taking the family to football games and baseball stadiums. They conquered all of the Big 12 stadiums and 26 of 30 MLB stadiums. He rarely missed a Houston Astro’s game on TV.
Hunt and Ann both enjoyed taking their children, daughters-in-law and grandchildren to Disney World and numerous other memorable family trips. He also loved family dinners, get togethers, and outings with his growing family. There would be an occasional stop at a casino for Hunt to play some cards. Hunt enjoyed reading and was always in the middle of a thriller novel.
Hunt loved the game of golf and played throughout his life. Whether as a member of the SHS golf team, weekly golf with buddies, attending the Masters, watching it on TV, or teaching his sons to play, Hunt thoroughly enjoyed the sport.
