Terry A Bonner, 80, resident of Midvale ID passed away in Meridian ID October 31 after a series of illnesses and accidents over the past 17 years.

Having graduated from Preston Road School of Preaching in Dallas, TX, he was a minister for several churches of Christ in CA, WA and ID; his father and grandfather were preachers for the Church of Christ as well, as are his two brothers.

On his 20th birthday, he married his sweetheart Kay, and began a lifelong romance, with their love growing deeper until the day he died.
