Obituary of Terry Jay Wallace

Dr. Terry J. Wallace, 63, of Pensacola, FL passed away on September 18, 2018 after a brief illness. He was raised in Marion, Iowa and he graduated with a BA from Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He went on to Palmer Chiropractic College where he got his doctorate. In 1983, he came to Pensacola to practice with Stanford Chiropractic Clinic. In 1990, he started his own practice, Pensacola Spinal Rehabilitation Center, where he practiced along with his business partner of 30 years, Eric Frank, D.C., until a month before his death. He thoroughly enjoyed taking care of people and they appreciated his gentle healing touch. Dr. Wallace loved to sing everything from Barbershop and show tunes to classical choral pieces. He had a beautiful baritone voice and was a devoted member of his parish church choir at Christ Episcopal Church for many years. He looked for opportunities to sing in other choral groups in Pensacola. For the past two summers, he joined the UWF Summer Festival Music Chorus, and enjoyed the experience of joining his voice with that of students and community members of all ages and expertise. Terry was also an avid antique Studebaker car collector most of his life. Dr. Wallace was preceded in death by his mother, Shirley Wallace; brother, Brent Wallace; uncle, Robert Wallace and step-sister, Lorilynne Pantini. He is survived by his father, Glenn (Cherie) Wallace; sister, Sheryl Wallace; brother, Dale (Debra) Wallace; step-brother, Bret Gothe (Jeff Conrad); aunts, Margaret Turner and Margery Yanecek. A special thank you to all the medical staff at West Florida Hospital for the loving care that he received.
