LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) Terry Scott Valentine, 55, of La Crosse passed away at his home unexpectedly on Saturday, December 12, 2020. He was born in La Crosse on July 15, 1965, to Clair and Beverly (Jerome) Valentine.
He was the youngest of four children. His parents joked that they had him later in life so he could take care of them when he was older, and he wholeheartedly did. Growing up on 29th Court, he was surrounded by some of the most supportive and adventurous neighbors that he would tell stories about for years to come.
Terry attended Harry Spence Elementary, Mount Cavalry and was a proud graduate of Central High School’s class of 1984, where he made some lifelong friends. After graduation, Terry enlisted in the Air Force.
