Terry Lynn Dyrdal was born on September 7, 1958 in Thief River Falls, MN, the son of Nels and Helen (Stigen) Dyrdal.  He was raised and made his home in Thief River Falls.  Terry graduated from Lincoln High School in 1977.

Terry was a dedicated employee at Arctic Cat for 35 years.

Terry loved old cars, car shows, racing and working on them, wasted vacation for the Minnesota Vikings, and listening to old school records.  He enjoyed Sunday drives, always taking the scenic route.  Terry loved all animals, particularly Molly and tolerated Muffin – Ha! Ha!

Things Terry loved in life included his nephews and nieces, his little moped scooter, yardwork, tinkering in the garage (man cave), and family celebrations.  His favorite time of the year was with his great-nieces Bree and Brylee, trick-or-treating.  Another favorite pastime was weekends with Shelley and Scarlett (Peanut).
