The son of Everett and Ada Taylor Space was born May 31, 1963 in Checotah, Oklahoma. As a young boy he and his family moved to the Alluwe area. He attended Alluwe and Chelsea schools. Later he attended the local vocational school where he learned to work as a machinist. After graduating he moved for a short time to the Ft. Smith area where he was employed at DMI Corporation.

They were married June 7, 1984 in Miami, Oklahoma. They made their home in Claremore, where they would raise their family. In his spare time Terry could be found telling stories to his friends and family; riding his Harley or hunting and fishing.
