Mr. Terry Lee Passage, age 58, of Whitehall, went to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and joining his parents on Thursday, January 8, 2015. He was born December 13, 1956, in Muskegon to Max and Bertha (Raynor) Passage (Pierce). Terry was a graduate of Hart High School Class of 1976. Cooking was Terry's passion and he was employed at the Golden Inn of Mears as a cook and server.

Terry's family would like to thank the staff of Heartland-Whitehall, where he was a long term resident for standing in the gap for his family in giving him love, support, friendship and care. Terry loved people so much, the family requests that in lieu of flowers, that you would give a kind word and smile to someone and then think kind thoughts of Terry. Thank you to all who called Terry, friend.

Terry is survived by three sisters: Helen (Terry) Miller of AL, Coral (Paul) Pego of White Cloud, MI, Debra (Tom) Delora of Muskegon, MI and four brothers: William (Patty) Passage of Davenport, IA, Russell Pierce of Hart, MI, David Pierce of Hart, MI, Michael (Cindy) Pierce of Battle Creek, MI; several nieces and nephews; his life partner, Richard Baxter of Shelby, MI.
