Terry Gibson


Terry Lee Gibson, 46 of LaRue, died Friday evening, July 18, 2008 in Toledo from injuries sustained in a racing accident.  He was born March 24, 1962 in Kenton to Todd and Brenda (Cramer) Gibson and they both survive in Richwood.

He was a 1980 graduate of North Union High School where he played football.  He was the owner and operator of Red Roof Automotive in LaRue for almost 5 years and had previously worked at Parker Hanifan.  He was a 12-year member of LaRue Baptist Church.  Being a member of the Gibson family, racing was in his blood.  He was always a joy to be around, and whether he was at the race track, the automotive shop or playing ball with his kids, he was loved and respected.  Above all he was an honest and generous man who didn’t hesitate to help those in need.

On February 21, 1997 he married Linda L. Jones and she survives in LaRue.  He is also survived by a son, Ryan W. Gibson; a daughter, Lindsay N. Kincaid; three brothers, Gene Lee (Lucinda) Gibson, Sandusky; Jeff (Shannon) Gibson, Prospect; Larry (Lisa) Gibson, Marysville; and a sister, Deb (Randy McElroy) Brady, Richwood.
