TERRY L. HOLUB

TERRY L. HOLUB

     Terry Lee Holub was born March 20, 1948 in Viroqua, WI, to Marlin and Constance (Allen) Bailey. He came to live with Ed and Hazel Holub when he was 10 years old and they accepted him into their family.

     Terry graduated from Neillsville High School in 1967. He was very active in football and wrestling. He served in the United States Army from 1968 to 1970 serving in the Vietnam War as a tanker driver. This past September, he had the privilege to go on the Never Forgotten Honor Flight, which was one of the highlights of his life.

     Terry was united in marriage to Cheryl Erickson July 9, 1988. They shared 37 years together. Over the years, he worked in various jobs and fields. He always said “I’m a jack-of-all-trades and master of none.”

     The greatest of his loves was his children and grandchildren. He also enjoyed attending events for his great nieces and nephews. Hunting and fishing were big things in his life. He loved to joke around and “pick” on everyone. His sense of humor was one of a kind. His favorite phrase was “Still Kickin” and he tried to every day of his life.

     Terry is survived by his wife, Cheryl; a son, Edward (Carrie) Holub of Holmen; a daughter, Sarah Bergman of Waterloo, IA; nine grandchildren, Kim (Nick) Holub, Ashley (Kevin) Holub of La Crosse, Zachery Holub, Terry James Holub of Holmen, Stephanie (Jordan) Costelic of Lakeland, FL, Jordan Spencer, Jaxson Bergman, Willow Bergman and Asher Jensen of Waterloo, IA; and four great-grandchildren, Zayden Brophy and Jasmine Vennette of La Crosse and Jupiter and Rigel Costelic of Lakeland, FL. He is further survived by a brother-in-law, Roger (June) Erickson; nephews, Travis (Jodi) Erickson, Tony (Beth) Erickson, Tyler (Amanda) Erickson, all of Neillsville; and 10 great- nieces and nephews. Missing him the most, his faithful pal, Max. 

     He is also survived by seven stepbrother and sisters.

     He was preceded in death by a daughter, Katie Daman; his parents; and mother- and father-in-law, Wally and Norma Erickson.

     A celebration of life will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 27, 2025, at Terry’s house. Online condolences may be made at www.geschefh.com.
