A memorial service to honor his life will be held on Saturday, July 5, 2025, at 10:00 AM at Schooler Funeral Home, 4100 South Georgia.

Terry was born on July 20, 1961, in Amarillo, Texas, to his parents, Frank and Cynthia Lill. He graduated from Caprock High School and began his working life at Pantex before setting out on his own path as a machinist. A true jack-of-all-trades, Terry mastered a wide variety of skills throughout his life.

Known for his fun-loving spirit and sense of humor, Terry had a knack for telling jokes—often laughing hardest at his own punchlines—but somehow always getting others to laugh along with him. He was proud to be a unique individual, and those who knew him would describe him as a “tough little biker dude,” especially given his deep love for Harley-Davidsons.

Terry was a sports enthusiast through and through. Whether it was local high school scores or the latest PGA tournament, he could talk sports with anyone, anytime.

Above all else, Terry cherished his family. He was a kind, devoted father and grandfather whose love for his children and grandchildren knew no bounds. His presence, laughter, and unwavering love will be missed deeply by all who knew him.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

Terry is survived by his wife, Olivia; His daughters, Brandi Lill- Garcia and her husband Adolfo and Lara Brown and her fiancé, Alex Bradley; his son Duane Lill and his wife Holly all of Amarillo; his sister, Dina Peek and her husband Terry of San Antonio; his brother, Scott Lill of Amarillo; and three grandchildren, Zooey, Jesse and Max.
