Terrence Ball, 73, of Nisswa, Minnesota, formerly of Austin, Minnesota, passed away on Thursday, Nov. 22, 2018, after a long valiant battle with cancer.

Born on Christmas Day in 1944, the oldest of nine children, it was fitting he left us Thanksgiving Day 2018.  We are saddened, but thankful that he was such a big part of our lives. We will miss his intelligence, quick wit, tall tales, and even his Irish stubbornness. R.I.P. Terrence Ralph Ball – you have departed this earth, but your legacy lives on with your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and the indomitable “Terry Stories.”

Terry is survived by children, Scott (Katie) Ball, Kimberly Ball, Brian Ball and Brody Ball; brothers, Thomas (Sue) Ball, Timothy (Patty) Ball, Daniel (Debra) Ball and Douglas (Karen) Ball; sister, Tracy (James) Marsolek; grandchildren; great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; grandparents; sisters, Sharon and Ann; and brother, David.

A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 1, 2018, at Mayer Funeral Home in Austin. Family and friends are invited to gather starting at 1 p.m.
