Terry Dale Fair, 69, of Myrtle, MS, passed away on Saturday, December 27, 2025, at his residence following a brief illness. In accordance with his wishes, Mr. Fair will be cremated.
Terry was born on June 30, 1956, in Aurora, Illinois, to the late Lenoy Fair and Jeanette Sanders. He was self-employed throughout his life and was of the Baptist faith.
Finding joy in the simple things in life, he had a lifelong love for cars and spent many hours assembling model cars. He was an avid fan of westerns, which could be found playing his television at almost any hour. Terry also enjoyed “piddling” and staying busy, always working on something with his hands. His curiosity and steady nature were well known by those who loved him.
Those left to cherish Terry’s memory include one sister, Donna Knighton (Jimmy) of Myrtle, two brothers, Tim Sanders (Shelia), and Jimmy Dean Champion (Ann), one stepsister, Wanda Boggs, and his close friends and care takers, Donald “Rooster” and Donna Dillard.
In addition to his parents, Terry was preceded in death by one brother, Rogie Sanders.
New Albany Funeral and Cremation Care invites you to share memories with the Fair family.
