Terry Lee Wall, 66, of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, passed away Sept. 10, 2016, after bravely battling cancer for two short months. Terry was born Feb. 20, 1950, in Owensboro, Ky., to Randal and Barbara Wall.

He experienced more adventures in his lifetime than most men. He was a combat helicopter pilot in Vietnam, shot down four times, and received various citations including the distinguished flying cross, bronze stars and air medals.

Terry was a narcotics agent in Tennessee and Florida and a drug enforcement agent in Guatemala. He flew in Alaska, Arctic Canada, Singapore, Borneo New Guinea, Rwanda, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

He built his home and lived his dream on the mountain top in Coeur d’Alene. He loved partying with friends around his bar and loved his family, always cheerful, never a bad day. He had 66 years on God’s Earth and above it, with lots of adventures around the world. He was a man at peace with God’s will at the end. He was proud of his accomplishments. Terry had many friends all over the world who will miss his smile and good heart.

He is survived by his wife, Dianne of Coeur d’Alene; brothers Kenneth Wall (wife Mary Jo) of Maceo, Ky., and David Wall (wife Sherree) of Owensboro; nieces and nephews Scott, Nicholas, Beth, Jill and Jennifer of Kentucky, Christel and Steve of Australia, and Jerry Pierce (wife Julie) and daughter Callie of Coeur d’Alene.

“I shall soar through the universe propelled by the wisdom of the ages and rest in the hands of God. I wait no longer to ride the chariots of Heaven.” Fly high Terry and go rest on the mountain. Your work here is done.
