Cravens, Terrell (Terry) Don, 50, of Plano, Texas died suddenly and peacefully in his sleep Wednesday night, October 12, 2005. Terry was born on August 10, 1955, in Tulsa, Oklahoma to Don and Patsy Cravens. He is survived by his wife of 22 years, Theresa Cravens; his father, Don Cravens and stepmother, Mickey Cravens; sister, Linda Cravens and her fiancée Austin Neal; father-in-law, Jake Bellis; sisters-in-law, Linda Reeve and Diane Leonard; niece, Danielle Raffensperger of Boynton Beach, Fl; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
Terry graduated from Jenks High School in 1973. Upon graduation he worked on the Alaskan Pipeline while living in Anchorage, Alaska. He then returned to Tulsa where he entered an apprenticeship program which began his electrical career and membership in the IBEW. He worked for electrical contractors until being employed by Rockwell International in Tulsa where he remained until his move to Plano, Tx. in 1991. He continued his electrical career by Affiliated Computer Services in Dallas, Tx. as a Facilities Engineer. Terry was an avid bass fisherman who loved his Allison boats and participated in many fishing tournaments through the years. He was saddened to leave his friends and fishing spots in Oklahoma, but he discovered Lake Fork in Texas which brought him and his buddies multiple double-digit large mouth bass.
Terry's sudden and unexpected death leaves his family, many friends and coworkers with a hole in their hearts that will never be filled.
