Terry Lee McDonald

He is survived by his cherished brother, Bob, niece Katie, and a wide circle of friends whose lives were deeply enriched by his guidance, wisdom, and zest for life. Terry lived with purpose and passion, always eager to share his knowledge and lift others up.

After graduating from college, Terry embarked on a global journey as a conference facilitator, traveling extensively—from Moscow to Singapore and many places in between. His experiences abroad shaped his adventurous spirit and broadened his perspective.

Eventually, he returned home to California, where he dedicated himself to building and developing properties throughout the area. He was perhaps best known locally as the co-owner of Five Star Marina, a role he held for over 25 years—a reflection of his deep love for the Delta and the community around it.

A memorial service celebrating Terry’s life will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, June 21, at 4453 Yacht Harbor Drive, Stockton, CA 95204.

The event will be held outdoors and guests are encouraged to dress comfortably. Lunch and a Celebration reception will follow after the memorial service.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Animal Protection League, a cause close to Terry’s heart. To contribute, please visit www.APL209.org.

Terry will be remembered for the joy he brought to others, the wisdom he shared, and the love he spread. Please share this with those who know Terry.
