Jim was born and raised in Ely, Nevada, the son of DeLile and Sybil (Oxborrow) Terry, the youngest of nine children.

In his early years, he enjoyed the outdoors and had a passion for hunting, fishing, and motocross racing.

He met his wife at the local drive-in where she worked as a hot roller-skating waitress and shortly thereafter they eloped.

Moving to Idaho Falls they started their new life together and eventually ended up settling down in the Spokane, Washington area.

Most of his working years were spent in the general contracting and light residential construction profession.

A beloved husband, father, and friend, Jim was a life-long member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and found happiness in serving others.
