Terry was born November 13, 1937, near Macy, Neb., the oldest of ten children born to Henry "Hank" Brewer and Melva Hightree. He was raised on a farm in Thurston County. As a young man Terry was active in sports and developed a passion for hunting, fishing and mushrooming that lasted throughout his life. He graduated from Decatur High School in 1955.

In addition to the many sports and outdoor activities, Terry enjoyed spending time with family and friends with good food and drinks.
