Mr. Terry Wayne Rushin, age 67, of Davant Extended Care Facility, Blowing Rock, NC, passed away peacefully on Wednesday November 14, 2012. Born June 18, 1945 in Greensboro, NC, he was a son of the late Ben and Zelma Sexton Rushin. Terry was a graduate of Walter M. Williams High School in Burlington, NC and UNC Chapel Hill. Terry made a home in Chickasha Oklahoma but travelled the world as an oil rig engineer or "roustabout", the more appropriate term as his life was filled with adventures. He suffered a stroke in China which left him totally paralyzed, almost totally mute for the last decade. He nonetheless endured his life with a heroism & humanism that won him the love & respect of his many caregivers and old friends.
He is survived by two brothers; Donald James Rushin and Ben Rushin.
