Passed away at his home on Thursday, November 12, 2026, with his family by his side. Terry was born on June 1, 1939, in Battle Creek, Michigan, to the late Sylvester and Louise (Root) Stoken. Following his time in school, Terry joined the United States Navy to serve his county with pride. Following his time in the military, on February 2, 1966, Terry married his best friend, Donna on a beautiful cold snowy day. Together they would build a wonderful family who he made many memories with.
After being discharged from the military, Terry went on to work for Western Michigan University as a steam fitter for years and would eventually make his way to be a manager.
Terry had a passion for many things in life. He loved snowmobiling in the winter with his family and friends, hunting for bucks in the woods, and bowling for a league. Another thing that he enjoyed doing was golfing. He was a member of Hickory Ridge Golf Course in Comstock for years and Terry and Donna would golf together in Florida when they had the chance. In addition to his bowling league, Terry was also a part of a men's league in Golf.
Surviving Terry is his wife, Donna (Rathburn); sons, Nick Stoken, Tim Stoken; 6 grandchildren, and 1 great grandchild.
Preceding him in passing are his parents, and brother, Larry Stoken, who passed in 1989.
In accordance with his wishes, Terry will be cremated and a service will be held at Ft. Custer National Cemetery, where he will be buried with full military honors.
