Terry Earl Quesnel, resident of Beaverlodge, AB, passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, July 6th, 2024, at the age of 77.

Terry was born and raised in Vernon, BC. He graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon, SK in 1974. He owned and operated Peace Valley Veterinary Clinic in Vernon, BC, Midnight Sun Veterinary Clinic in Whitehorse, YK, and Northern Rockies Veterinary Services in Fort Nelson, BC, before retiring from veterinary medicine in 2003.

Terry was an active member of the sled dog racing community for more than 50 years where he made many lifelong friends along the way. He was also an avid gardener and was most at peace in his backyard surrounded by the beautiful flower gardens he took such joy in caring for.

He will be sadly missed by his wife Lori; stepdaughter Jodie of Salmo, BC; stepson Adam (Jillian) of Vernon, BC; sister Brenda (Rick) Gunn and cousin Kathryn Mace of Campbell River, BC; sister-in-law Lynne (Gordie) of Vernon, BC; brother-in-law Doug (Cindy); and father-in-law Bob (Sheila) of Armstrong, BC.

He was predeceased by his father Earl, and his mother Marjorie of Vernon, B.C.

To honour Terry's wishes, there will be no funeral. A private family gathering will be held at a later date.
