Terence B. Lovell

Terence Bryan Lovell was born December 11, 1954 to Clark Douglas Lovell and Terry Evelyn Lovell at Fairchild Airforce Base in Spokane, Washington.

After Clark’s military service the family moved back to Coos Bay. Terence attended Sumner Grade School, Millicoma Junior High, and graduated from Marshfield High School in 1973. He excelled at many sports and extracurricular activities growing up. Terence and Jonell met at MHS and married the next year.

Terence worked for several gyppos before getting hired by Weyerhaeuser in 1974. He was trained as a Yarder Operator early on and was respected for his expertise, being a hard worker and his safety mindset. When Weyerhaeuser downsized in 1998, he again worked for gyppos. He was then hired at the Weyerhaeuser Paper Mill until it closed a year later. Once again, he worked for gyppos until he was rehired by Weyerhaeuser as a Yarder Operator where he worked until his retirement.

Terence loved the Lord and his church family at Sumner Community Church. He had several different roles over the years; Sunday School Teacher, Maintenance, and Trustee for many years. He was also an avid hunter, and liked to reload, target shoot, fish, camp, ride motorcycles, read, and spend time outdoors.

Terence moved to heaven August 16, 2025. He is preceded in death by his father, Clark and his friend, Mike Jacobson. He is survived by his wife, Jonell to whom he was married for 51 years; his daughter, Crystal; his son, Bryan and his wife Megan; granddaughter, Alyssa and her husband Max Sandoval; grandson, A.J. and his wife Riley; great-grandsons, Elliot and Wesley; his mother, Terry and his siblings, Susan, Kenneth, and Steven, numerous family members, and lifelong friends, Richard Clemons, Steve Hartley, and Bob Smith.
