The family of Terry Lenn Bellew has invited the Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
Terry was born on 04 February 1947 in Riverside (but grew up in Perris) and entered into Eternal Rest on 14 December 2016.
Terry was in the U.S. Army from October 1968 to June 1970 serving a tour in Vietnam from April 1969 to June 1970. He was awarded the Army Commendation Medal for meritorious service in Vietnam. Prior to his Army service, Terry graduated from Cal Poly with a Math degree.
After his honorable discharge as a Specialist 5 from the Army, Terry began his career in the family’s R.V. business, Perris Valley Campers. After earning his MBA, other career ventures included being a business manager for PTSI in Hemet and for fifteen years Terry represented Timberpeg Post and Beam Homes, building homes for clients.
Terry loved to travel, work with wood and spend time with family and friends.
Terry is survived by his wife of fifty-one years Sheilah and sons Chris and Colby. He also leaves behind four grandchildren and mother Millie.

No talking, smoking, or cell phone use during the flag line or service. Please keep radios off and engine noise to a minimum. Observe the 15 MPH speed limit. Remember, cemeteries are hallowed ground.
