Terry Lee Zirkle, age 63, long time resident of Madison, OH passed away October 3, 2017 with his family by his side at Gardens of Western Reserve Assisted Living Residence, in Streetsboro, OH, where he resided for the past two and a half years. He was born May 10, 1954 in Painesville, OH to Frances M. (Sironen) Zirkle and Raymond L. Zirkle.

Terry graduated Summa Cum Laude from Kent State University with Bachelors of Art and Design degree, majoring in Graphic Design. He was an incredibly gifted Artist and Graphic Designer. A Photographer. A Musician. A Builder of fine homes and a Master Craftsman. Those who knew Terry enjoyed his double-edged wit that could make you laugh or cut to the quick. He could broach any subject in serious discussion and debate or gleefully twist the narrative into absurdities that would leave you bowled over in laughter.

Terry is survived by both his parents; sisters, Sharon Zirkle (William Rogers), Deborah Richardson; brothers, David (Sue) Zirkle and James (Bonita) Zirkle; and four nieces and two nephews.

Friends will be received Wednesday, October 11, 2017 at 10 a.m., with a funeral service at 11 a.m. at the Behm Family Funeral Home, 26 River Street in Madison, OH. Final resting place will be Fairview Cemetery.
