Terry Edward Arnieri, 76, of St. Charles, Illinois, passed away peacefully on April 1, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Born on February 23, 1949, in Oak Park, Illinois, Terry was a devoted husband, father, brother, grandfather, and great-grandfather whose life was marked by deep love, unwavering dedication, and a heart full of humor.
Terry was the rock of his family—a man who consistently put others before himself. As a loving husband and father, he led by example, showing what it meant to care, to sacrifice, and to love unconditionally. He lit up the lives of his 9 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren with laughter, jokes, and boundless affection. He was a man who brought light and joy into every room he walked into, always ready with a story, a joke, or a helping hand.
Professionally, Terry was an accomplished engineer and entrepreneur. He had a mind for solving problems and hands that could build just about anything. Whether it was a broken appliance, a complicated design, or a big idea—he could make it happen. His legacy of ingenuity, hard work, and dedication lives on in the countless projects he touched and the lives he inspired. Terry’s memory will be forever cherished by his beloved wife, Lynn, their children, Lisa Arnieri, Donna Ferchill, Tina (Mike) Williams; grandchildren, Alex, Miranda (Jorge), Marissa, Mikayla, Andrew, Anthony, Sienna, Alexa, Peyton; great-grandchildren, Aria and Sonny; adored son of the late Ed and Marjorie Arnieri; loving brother Eddie (Shirley), the best brother in-law to Barb Barron Zorilla; a fond uncle and great uncle to many nieces and nephews, extended family, and friends. His presence, laughter, and love will be deeply missed but never forgotten. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you carry forward Terry’s legacy by loving deeply, laughing often, and putting family first—just as he always did.
