Terry Joe Weathermon, passed away on Friday, June 10, 2022, at the age of 51. Terry was born on December 31, 1970, in Brownwood, TX. He was the older brother to Jay and Levi. As a kid they moved a lot because his dad worked for the Border Patrol. One place he talked a lot about was Sierra Blanca. He said they lived at the base of the Sierra Blanca Mountains so there was a lot of exploring to do. He would take off in the morning with his gun and hit the trails. At about the age of 14, Terry was ready to make his own money and started working at the local feed store with his best friend Craig Kessinger. Those two had many adventures together from working at a golf course in San Angelo to training racehorses all over the State of Texas. They rodeoed some while Craig rode bulls, Terry was roping.
Terry’s occupation was a Weld Inspector on the pipeline, but he didn’t just walk into that position. He started as a laborer on the construction side of the business. He learned how to operate all the equipment and would brag on how well he could maintain the access roads. He took pride in his work and never wanted it to be just ok, but it needed to be perfect. Terry worked hard for everything he had. Over the years Terry had made so many friends on the many different jobs he had worked on. He traveled to California, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Indiana, Louisiana, Texas, and many other places for different jobs. He was proud that he worked on the Keystone Pipeline here in Texas.
Terry was blessed with twins, Joshua Craig and Abigail Faye born March 31, 2004. He loved them so much and always wished he had more time with them but working on the road made it tough. He had to work hard to be able to give them what they needed. He would brag on Josh with his high scores he made on a nation-wide school test and was proud of Abby and her tennis skills and always talked about how she has grown into a beautiful young lady. He got to see them graduate high school and a proud dad that Josh will attend Lamar University in Beaumont and Abby will attend Texas State University in San Marcos.
October 2018, Terry met Leann and it was pretty much love at first sight. They dated for 3 months, and he asked her to marry him on December 31, 2018, while they celebrated his birthday on the San Antonio Riverwalk. In May, they bought a home in Trinity, Texas and got married on June 23, 2019.
About three years ago, Terry had a dream of expat living. He and Leann started watching videos of different places to retire to. Belize was one place that kept popping up with better videos each time. Terry liked what they were seeing and decided this was the place. They bought property there sight unseen in July of 2020 and was ready to go. He was so excited about the place he told his good friend, Ed about it and he and his wife, Shay bought property there too. Seven months after the purchase the four of them made their first trip to San Pedro Ambergris Caye Belize and finally got to the famous Secret Beach. Terry’s dream became reality. He so wanted to live there and had many ideas of different businesses to start up with our friends Julian and Iris that we consider family along with Aaron, Ashly and the two sweetest baby girls. The neighbors Patty and Ramon, next to our property were from Spring TX, such a small world. Terry was very fond of them and looked forward to being neighbors. Another great friend that sends good morning messages every day is Trevor. Terry and Trevor hit it off playing the ring toss game at Secret Beach.
Terry was a selfless person. He would give the shirt off his back if someone needed it. Terry and bother Jay had many memories together growing up but had the best times fishing all over Brownwood and at Port Bolivar. His brother Levi depended on Terry for advice and guidance after their dad passed away. Terry lived is life his way.
Terry is survived by his wife, Patricia Leann Weathermon of Gonzales, daughter, Abby Weathermon, son, Josh Weathermon, both of Beaumont, stepsons, Clayton Wilkerson & Zach Weiermann of Galveston, and Trent & Regan Wilkerson and one grandson Grayson Wilkerson all of Hinesville Georgia. Terry was so excited to be a PawPaw, before Grayson was born, he sent him his first pair of overalls. Terry could not wait to meet him. He was also survived by brothers, Jay Lafferty of San Diego, California, Levi Weathermon and wife Sammantha of New Braunfels, aunt, Sue Moore and husband Troy of Hamshire, and multiple nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents, mother, Barbara Lafferty, father, Dennis Weathermon, aunt, Mary Jean Denhart, and best friend Craig Kessinger.
