On the evening of Wednesday April 11th, 2018 Terry Lynn Sipes tragically and unexpectedly departed the life he so richly loved to become the guardian angel of those he left behind. He was 62 years young. Terry was born in 1955 in Boise, Idaho to Jasper Glen Sipes and Dorothy Jean Sipes, and grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah. When Terry was 19 years old he met his soul mate, Willy Maria Aalders, swept her off her feet, and together they have spent 42 blissfully wedded years together raising a family and growing as partners in life. During that time they gave birth to three children and later on they were blessed to add two more kids through marriage, four grandchildren, and three grand-dogs. Terry worked at Aramark since 2006 where he made several lasting friendships, and where he continued to expand on his example of excellent work ethic for his children. He was a devoted and loving husband, father, and friend to all who had the privilege to know him or call him family, and he will be sorely missed. Equipped with a disarming sense of humor, a dynamic smile, and a uniquely fun-loving personality, Terry’s intent was to never take life too seriously. He was skilled with his wit and charm, and his heart of gold shone through in his smile. He was compassionate, the anchor that kept his family grounded, and a constant support whenever things have gotten difficult for anyone he loved. Terry had a large heart, a tender soul, and an intense capacity to unconditionally love, which made him a treasured example to his children as they grew into adults. Terry also had many passions in his life.
