Terrence DALY Obituary

I'm so devastated to find out about Terry's passing, my sincere condolences to all my extended family. I have so many fond memories of a certain beach house surfing in a cyclone, plum fights in the back yard oh and who could ever forget the classic back yard cricket match's growing up. My thoughts are with you all. Terry you will never be forgotten.

Hi just heard this devastating news from Nick. The three of us worked together at the beginning of Avocadomilk. However my friendship with Terry started quite a while before that. Terri came into my agency to pitch us on a co-project with Tom Cruise and the Jack Reacher series on behalf of his client Rodd and Gunn. We recognized kindred marketing souls in each other and continue to work together on several projects. I´ve never met someone with such expansive creativity and boundless energy. And of course his ability to make you laugh. He also had a way of making everyone in the room feel important and heard. That is a very rare quality. And of course many of those conversations turned back to the love and support he got from his family. Terry you will be deeply missed and I bet Heaven is going to get one heck of an amazing new ad campaign :)

he was one of the best people I have ever met, to see him pass hurt me badly, he was the most caring, funny, charismatic, loving guy in the world, R.I.P Uncle Tezz x

Hullo Ann and all your family please accept my deepest sympathy to you all in your loss
I live in Matamata and would love to have a catch-up to get all your family news

Dearest Jen, Sam and Coops

Sending so much love, peace and light. Heartbreaking.

To Jen and family, my sincere condolences for Terry's passing. I cannot believe his smiling, cheeky grin is no more. Gone way too soon. So very sorry. Shelley B

No one really knows what you go through unless you have travelled the same path- we both agreed on that mate. To support me through my cancer journey while going through your own is beyond special Being able to then return the favour in some small way through support meant so much. No matter how much I asked about you, you would turn it around to asking about how I was doing, sums you up
I can´t describe the impact you have had on my life mate but it´s fair to say that I have been lucky enough to have an amazing example of how I should celebrate life and live it to the fullest everyday. Google analytics are in- you have been smashing it since 1973! Great campaign, grab your board, catch a wave, chill out.# legend #mate

To the Daly family! My sincere and deepest condolences for your loss !! I had the pleasure of shaking the hand of the ` legend´ one time.. and that is all it took for me to understand what a great lad I had the pleasure of working with.. in Anaheim CA, pre Covid and we would then go on to be partners via Zoom.. what a ghip as we say. Was hoping to have NZ session and to meet Jen, Sam and Cooper as he boasted often, and proudly..
So sorry for your loss and so very grateful for my time with Terry

Dear Jen, Samantha and Cooper,

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Terry was a great mentor to me when I was new to New Zealand's work place. He was a powerful boss and a super leader in Agency88. He had a great entrepreneurial spirit and was very inspiring to work for.
Terry will be remembered and forever respected.

My condolences,

Dear Terry,

I hope this note finds you in peace. I am still coming to terms with the fact that you are no longer with us, and my heart aches with grief.

I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to you, Terry, for the profound impact you had on my life. As my pre-boss at the agency two years ago, you placed your trust in me. Your unwavering confidence in my abilities was truly inspiring, and it gave me the courage to step up and deliver my best work. I will forever cherish the lessons I learned from you, and the memories of our time together.

Your impressive ideas and innovative thinking continue to influence me to this day.
Terry, you will be dearly missed by all whose lives you touched. Your kindness, generosity, and positive spirit will be remembered fondly by everyone who had the privilege of knowing you. Your passing has left a void that cannot be filled, and your memory will forever remain in our hearts.

As I say my final farewell, I want to express my deepest condolences to your family, friends, and loved ones. I hope that they find comfort in knowing that you made a lasting impact on those around you, and that your legacy will continue to inspire others.

Rest in peace, dear Terry. Thank you for everything.

With heartfelt condolences

Today is Easter Sunday - the day celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. I have just discovered that Terry has died. Terry is a person of true spirit and good , friendly and kind Man. I met Terry in Whangarei days. I even got the call (from the reserves bench) to Baptise one of the Children. May Terry rest on the love and peace of the Lord.

Aroha and Sympathy to Jen, Samantha and Cooper.
Rest In Peace Terry.

Dear Jen, Sam and Cooper

I'm deeply saddened to hear about the loss of your beloved husband and father, Terry. Although I didn't have the opportunity to know him well, I've known you, Jen, since school days, and I understand how much Terry meant to your family.

Please know that I'm thinking of you all during this incredibly difficult time. The love and dedication that Terry had for his family were truly admirable, the stories on this page are wonderful, and I know his memory will forever live on in your hearts.

OMG Terry. We all loved you. You were always there with a smile and ready for a hug. You were one of the loveliest young men we would meet in life. I am so sad I can´t hide that. I will always be there for Jen, Sam and Cooper. They are special too. Love prayers and hugs Sharon and Donny

Terry, we only crossed paths over the last year or two working on our little side hustle, but in that time you got the wheels in motion, setting up our fledgling business for success! It's fair to say in doing so, you've changed the course of my life and others for the better! So thanks man, from the bottom of my heart, I appreciate it and will give it everything to finish the job you started!

so sorry to hear of Terry's passing...he was the kind of person that - after meeting him once, you feel like you've known him all your life - I met him briefly in 2009 in NZ got to know him better while we were "students" together in this MEMOS Master Degree Course back in 2011-2012 we travelled the globe together to the modules of this course...Switzerland, T&T, Slovakia...he was always bubbling with life and an ice-breaker in our class and non-class functions...we last chatted last year and he told me he was planning on bringing his family to Vanuatu...heartfelt condolences to his wife and children...RIP brother Terry !

I had the pleasure of employing Terry as a barman at The Albion back in his time over in Hampton Court in UK. What fabulous memories of such a happy time from back then. I will never forget the look on his face when Clive Woodward and most of the English and All Blacks appeared in the pub at 10.30pm on a Saturday night, all dressed in their club blazers, I didn't have a clue who they were, Terry soon filled me in. Needless to say we had a very late lock in that night. My son, who was very young at the time absolutely adored Terry, who spent so much time entertaining him for me, either sitting and watching endless children's programmes, or dragging him around the pub in a huge cardboard box, whilst we decorated the pub for Christmas, David, my son thought this was the best thing ever! I had the pleasure of meeting up with him again when he was back over about 9 years ago, back in the Albion, another night never to be forgotten, when he told me that all the overseas bar staff looked upon me as a 'surrogate' UK mother, lovely compliment, although not quite the look I was going for at the time. Terry, you truly were one of the nicest, kindest, loveliest person I have ever met, gone way too soon my friend. RIP lovely Terry. Condolences to all your family, they were extremely lucky to have them in their lives xx

Love and miss you brother! Devastated to hear the news and I'm gutted I didn't get to see you. Will forever be grateful for your love and support early in my journey. Your help set me on a path I never thought in my wildest dreams I'd go down. Forever grateful my man. My prayers and thoughts are with Jen & the kids also, praying for God's peace and comfort during this tragic time. Fly high my guy! May you rest in God's Love. Till we meet again.

I didn't know you well Terry, but always recall Juliet announcing to me years ago, when the girls were little Year 7's, after a playdate at yours ... "What a lovely man Sam's father is. Daddy would really like him". Fun, warm and kind was the impression I got. Then two years ago when you and Jen hosted the girls at your beautiful place in Omaha, she again commented on the great chats she'd had, the time you gave them and the lovely suppers you would prepare for the girls when they came in after the evenings festivities. Thank you.
RIP and all our love to your beautiful family; Jen, Sam and Cooper

Dear Jen, Samantha and Cooper
Sending love and care to you all and in memory of Terry who will be remembered so fondly by our family. May you be surrounded by support and love, there will be so many stories told of the laughter when Terry was around, what he did for others and what he meant to people.
Love Joan, Josh and Siya

We love and adore you and promise to continue to love, adore, and support your family.
Fly high my friend xxx

Very sad to hear this news. Sending our love and heartfelt thoughts to all the Daly family at this difficult time. We have very fond memories of Terry. The Pepper Family (Kaeo)

I don't know where to start; hang on, yes I do. What an absolute legend of a man. I met Terry when he travelled to the UK in the 90's. It was one of the happiest times of my life and Terry formed the core of a group of friends that I'll never forget. When I heard the news of him passing my mind immediately delivered some memories that could only have been forged by Terry being at the core of that crew. Playing rugby together and never losing, massive tackles and many tries. Sitting with him watching The All Blacks (never lose) against England in The Albion Pub in East Molesey. Talking about business and entrepreneurial ideas into the early hours of the morning. Cooking New Zealand green lip mussels on the BBQ and being introduced to Steinlager at Buckingham Gardens. Playing touch rugby in the sunshine on Cigarette Island in the shadow of Hampton Court Palace and the time I got him to polish the copper plate in the pub 6 times because I said it wasn't as shiny as when I did it The list goes on. Running through the heart of all these priceless moments was one of the funniest and kindest people I've ever met; a man who would go out of his way to do anything for anyone. A highly competitive man who was a natural leader and ferocious friend. Terry and I probably chatted on a couple of occasions since he travelled back to NZ and sadly I haven't seen him in over twenty years, however the way I feel about him passing is directly proportional to the impact he had on my life. It's an indescribable loss. My love and support go to Terry's family as well as anyone who knew him. I shall be eternally grateful to have had the privilege to meet him and call him my friend. Rest in peace champ. Rich

Jen, Samantha and Cooper
We are very much thinking of each of you at this time for the loss of a precious husband and Dad.
He leaves a big gap in your lives so hoping the amazing memories you will have can help fill those gaps. We remember Terry as someone who has lived a very full life, was always happy to give everyone some of his time and always cause laughter.
Accept our love and condolences
Blessings too from Aileen and Eddie Leo

Terry was my hero. A man I truely admired and loved. He was the kind of man I strive to be. He lifted everyone that knew him. He was generous and loving. A family man. A gentleman. I will lift you on my shoulders dear friend and carry you fourth even though it will break my heart. Until we meet again.

Condolences to the Daly family. No more Firmly hand shakes from you big guy. Rest in peace my friend. I will see you again in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father.

Legend is a good word for Terry. I have fond memories of Terry and the way that he made people feel better about themselves by being around him.

Terry is an impressive individual, yet he would never talk about it. The last thing he would do is talk about himself. He would always want to know about you and what was happening with you.

Terry volunteered at Auckland Marist for Cooper's rugby team. I remember Terry always trying to make training fun. He would be out there with frisbees, sacks, tackle pads and get the kids to try things that were completely unrelated to rugby. We used to have so much fun with the young boys and now they are men. Then when we needed to we would bump kids off with tackle pads to continue to play and have fun. Hopefully they have learnt to have fun while doing stuff that they love.

Rugby meant a lot to Terry. He wanted to share the same experiences he had growing up with Cooper. He talked about the Marist brotherhood and how the relationships he made when playing rugby meant so much to him. Stories like his dad having to buy a loaf of bread a day to feed the boys before practices.

Terry, we will all miss you. You've left a wonderful legacy with your family and friends. We are all a little bit better from knowing you.

Moe mai ra e hoa.

I´ll always remember the times after school sitting in one of our parents cars as we waited for them. Great chats and Terry was always such a positive and kind guy xx

Our heartfelt condolences Jen Samantha and Cooper and the extended family. He truly was an awesome man. A privilege to have known him. Much love to you Kathy and Graeme Fraser.

Terry will be remembered by me as one of the funniest, nicest people I have had the pleasure to call a friend. Our days in Molesey England, in the pub, playing touch rugby and working together are times I will never forget. We haven't seen each other in years, but when someone special comes into your life, you never forget them. To your family Terry, I send my love and thoughts. To your friends, you will never be forgotten. Taken far too soon. RIP Terry.
Duncan.

What a great, smiley, happy good man. Sending love and hugs to you all. Travel safely Tez.

DALY, Terry. Terry Daly passed away on 4 April 2023. He was a kind, hospitable and generous man and leaves a legacy of friendship, laughter and love of family. Terry will be sadly missed by so many. Lynda and the late Ross.
