Terry Lee Kettner was born on June 27, 1953 to parents Dorothy (Schwanz) and Floris Kettner in Fairmont, Minnesota and passed in his home on March 9, 2024 in Fergus Falls, Minnesota.

He was baptized on July 19, 1953 and confirmed April 30, 1967 at St. Paul Lutheran Church and graduated from Truman High School. Terry obtained a degree in Agricultural Business Management at the U of M Crookston. He married his lifelong friend, Lori Kay Williamson on June 7, 1975. Terry and Lori moved to Dawson, MN in 1980 where he managed the Lac Qui Parle Co-op Fertilizer Plant and raised their family before moving to Fergus Falls to fulfill his lifelong dream of living on a lake in 2008.
