Robert A. “Bobby” Terres, 67, of Spring Hill, passed away unexpectedly surrounded by his family April 7, 2024, at CentraCare Health-Paynesville Hospital in Paynesville.
A Mass of Christian Burial was held April 13 at St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Spring Hill with the Rev. Marvin Enneking officiating. Interment was in the parish cemetery. In honor of Bobby, people were encouraged to wear their favorite flannel shirt.
Robert Terres was born Nov. 26, 1956, in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, to Jerome and Mary Ann (Meyer) Terres. He attended Vocational Technical College in St. Cloud from 1975 to 1977 for carpentry. He was united in marriage to Jane Jaeger April 29, 1978, at St. Margaret’s Catholic Church in Lake Henry. Bobby worked as a carpenter until 1982, and he and Jane purchased a farm west of Spring Hill and farmed for many years. In 2023, his youngest son, Brent, took over the farm while Bobby continued helping on the farm and hauling grain.
He was a member of St. Michael’s Catholic Church and St. Michael’s Men’s Society. He enjoyed farming, driving semi, taking his side by side out for a drive, fishing, camping and spontaneous visits to wherever the vehicle took him. He also enjoyed getting together with family and friends, and most of all, giving treats to his grandchildren and going to their sporting events.
