Charles Terrance Ausmun, 75, of Creelsboro, KY passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 11, 2025, surrounded by his loved ones after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born on October 19, 1949, a son of the late Dick Ausmun and Wanda Mae Ausmun.
Terry is now with his savior Jesus Christ. Known for his love of God, devotion to his wife, his strength, generosity, an unmistakable presence, he leaves behind a legacy built, not only with tools and grit, but with love and quiet wisdom. Terry was a man of action and heart. Whether behind the wheel of his tractors, working with his hands, or sharing stories with lifelong friends and family, he lived with purpose and authenticity.

Terry proudly served his country in the United States Army, including more that a year of overseas service during the Vietnam War.
