Terence Hugh Liles
August 7, 1936 – September 10, 2025

Terence Hugh Liles, 89, of Eureka, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on September 10, 2025.

Born in Kent, Oklahoma, on August 7, 1936, to Charles Amos Liles and Katherine Elizabeth Kerwin, Terence grew up in Texas and later Riverside, California. In 1956, he married the love of his life, Carma Jean Wyrick, and in 1963 they moved to Eureka, California where together they raised six children — Michael, Mary, Theresa, Matthew, Anthony and Terry.

Terence worked many years for Simpson Timber and later as an electrician and handyman. He was a hardworking, independent, and private man who loved reading, westerns, and woodworking projects in his garage workshop. In 1978, he gave his life to Jesus Christ, a decision that shaped the rest of his days. His greatest joy was the family that he and Carma Jean made together.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his beloved wife Carma Jean, and his daughter Mary. He is survived by his children, many grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who will forever remember his strength, convictions, and love.

Terence lived a long and full life, and his family takes comfort knowing he is reunited with his wife and in the presence of his Savior.
