SIERRA VISTA – Terrence B. Faucett passed away at home unexpectedly on Sunday, April 29, 2018 at the age of 68.

Terry was born August 10, 1949 in Dexter, Maine. He joined the military at a young age and retired as a Chief Warrant Officer (CW4) from the U.S. Army in February 1993 having served 24 wonderful years in many locations and countries to include Germany, and Korea. He served multiple tours in Vietnam with the 23rd Infantry Division where he was awarded with two bronze stars for heroic and meritorious achievement in a combat zone. Throughout his career in the Army, he attended Boston University and later received his Master’s Degree in Business Administration from the University of Maryland. After retiring from active duty, he continued his service in various positions as a government contractor in Sierra Vista until he retired in 2015.

Terry loved ALL sports but especially enjoyed coaching and mentoring the local youth in Soccer. He coached numerous soccer teams (Rolling Thunder, Eagles, Aces) and ultimately the Sierra Vista Freedom traveling team before becoming Buena High Schools Head Varsity Soccer Coach. Another one of his passions was watching and cheering for the Green Bay Packers (Go PACK GO!) He recently took up hiking with his dear friend John and accomplished numerous hikes throughout Southern Arizona. He truly enjoyed the outdoors.

Terry always acted selflessly and thoroughly enjoyed interacting with the community. His great sense of humor and mentorship to the youth of our community will be truly missed. We loved him in life, let us not forget him in death.

Terry was predeceased by his parents, Donald J. Faucett and Waneta O. Faucett; mother-in-law, Marlie L. Koester. Terry is survived by his loving wife, Karin, and two sons, Jason P.
