Terry Lee Bond
Terry Lee Bond, age 69, died Sunday morning, December 22, 2024, surrounded by his family at Dayspring Assisted Living and Care Facility where he resided. His death, amongst a series of health conditions over the years, follows an unexpected and brief cancer diagnosis.
Born Christmas Day, December 25, 1954 to Kenneth R. and Helen F. (Perry) Bond in Mansfield, Terry attended Shelby High School and was a veteran of the United States Marines Corps serving from 1972-1976 during the Vietnam War. Terry had been employed at Ohio Brass in Mansfield prior to his 22 years of service at General Motors in Ontario.
A hard worker always, Terry spent many working hours throughout his life to take care of the people he loved- his family. Playing and spending time with his grandchildren brought him so much joy and family trips to Cedar Point were always a highlight. Terry enjoyed playing euchre and shooting pool, fast cars always piqued his interest, and casual Sunday drives brought relaxation and peace.
Terry is survived by his children: Tracy Bond of Mansfield, Natalie (Michael Khan) Bond of Pleasanton, CA, Angela (Jonas) Bond of Woodside, CA, and John C. (Kailey Hruska) Bond of Ontario; grandchildren: Theodore Khan-Bond, Camille Khan-Bond, and River Bond; his mother: Helen Bond; sisters and brother: Vickie Wollerton, Sandy (Bob) Ramsey, and Doug (Cindy) Bond; special friends: Pat Clady and Calvin Nazor; and other relatives and friends. Terry was preceded in death by his father, Kenneth R. Bond; infant brother: Dickie Allen Bond; brother in-law: George Wollerton; and aunt and uncle with whom he was close: Mae and Estill “Crick” Applegate.
The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to the staff at Dayspring and Gentiva Hospice who provided gentle and compassionate care for Terry.
Family and friends are welcome on Friday, December 27, 2024 from 10-11a.m. at the Penwell Funeral Home, 168 West Main Street, Shelby, where military honors will be conducted at the conclusion of the visitation at 11 a.m. Burial will follow in Most pure Heart of Mary Cemetery, Shelby.

Our sympathy to the Bond families. I had the children in Sunday school class when they were small. Also for the loss of grandmother. Our prayers are with all the family
I lived next door to the Bonds until I was 12 years old. They all treated me like family. Terry and I were very close through elementary school. Even though we have all drifted apart, I have many fond memories of being with this family.
