Allan H. D. Terrall, of Milwaukie, left this world on February 21st, 2024, to fulfill his dream of giving “leebs” (Allan’s imaginative word for love) to all the animals currently residing in heaven. He was 53 even though his gregarious and, at many times, shall we say youthful personality would have you thinking otherwise.
Everyone who knew Allan would agree that he had an incredibly kind and humorous nature. He was charismatic and genuine and knowing him was a true gift. It was impossible not to smile and laugh in his presence and the ease with which he made new friends was proof of this.
Throughout his life, he had a passion for snow skiing, water sports, skydiving, loud music, and of course all animals. He was also an avid history buff with a special fondness for World War II. Allan could rattle off facts like you wouldn’t believe… even after you may have checked out of the conversation. On a very related note, Allan loved to talk… and talk… and talk ❤️ He also loved hugs, Jeeps, his family, and did we already mention animals and talking?
Allan is survived by his mother, Pamela; father, Lewis; stepfather, Greg; sisters, Laura and husband Jim, Emily and wife Clarice, Elizabeth and husband Cody; 5 nieces and nephews, Peter, Jackson, Alexander, Brody, Elly; and countless other friends and family.
We love you Alphy Doodle Dandy ❤️
A Celebration of Life will be held April 6, 2024, from 11am-2pm at The Elks Lodge #142 in Milwaukie, OR.
