Terry J. Healy of Dubuque passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 11th 2023 at the age of 64.  To celebrate Terry’s life private family services were held at Behr Funeral Home, 1491 Main Street.

Terry, son of Robert and Yvonne (Janzig) Healy, was born on June 17th, 1958 in Dubuque, Iowa. Terry graduated from Senior High School and served in the US Army from 1976-1979. In 1988 he met his partner in life, Pam Kopp, and shortly after the two had Sherri, their only child together. Sherri was the pride and joy of Terry’s life.

Terry was truly one of a kind. He was best known for his hilarious impersonations, contagious sense of humor, skilled artistry and heart of gold. He was also a man of many hobbies: a self-taught artist, collector, dancer and bowler – achieving multiple 700 series and 300 games in his prime. He was a loyal Packer and Yankee fan and life-long music lover and Beatles fanatic. Terry was the life of the party and the man who would have given a stranger the shirt off his back. He will always be remembered for his whimsical spirit and genuine selflessness.

Those left to cherish Terry’s memory include:

Daughter, Sherri Healy, Belmont, CA
Step daughter, Shannon Bennett, New Hampton, IA;

Granddaughters,
Katelyn and Ashlyn Gross;

His siblings,
Mary (Ken) Melloy, Queen Creek, AZ
Pat (Mickey) Healy, Guttenberg, IA
Karen “Bitty” Healy, Dubuque, IA
Dan Healy, Dubuque, IA
Mike (Shelley) Healy, Dubuque, IA.

Terry was preceded in death by his partner Pam, his parents, his niece Abby Healy and his siblings Linda, Sherry, Kathy and Tim Healy.

The family would like to thank the emergency responders and Behr’s funeral home for their care, professionalism and kindness.
