John Baldwin

May 28, 1952 – April 3, 2016

John Terry Baldwin, 63, passed away at his home on April 3, 2016 surrounded by his family. Terry was born May 28, 1952 in Jacksonville, FL. He grew up and lived nearly his entire life in his beloved Jacksonville Beach.

Terry was educated at St. Paul's Beach Catholic School, Bishop Kenny HS and Georgia Southern University. Terry's life was a testament of service to others. From his military service in the US Army Special Forces as a parachute rigger to his twenty years of teaching and coaching young children to finally, more than a decade of golf course landscaping at Jacksonville Golf and Country Club, Terry constantly worked for the protection, well-being, enjoyment and love of others. Christmas Breakfast at Terry and Wendy's and his backyard Masters Golf Tourney will be often remembered by so many as examples of Terry at his happiest among all his friends and family.

Terry is survived by his loving wife of 27 years, Wendy; son Billy; sister, Debbie and brothers, Tim, Rusty, Peter and Tab.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Paul's Catholic Church, Jacksonville Beach on Saturday, April 9, 2016 at 1:00 pm with Reverend William Kelly as Celebrant.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to Community Hospice of Northeast Florida, 4266 Sunbeam Rd, Jacksonville, FL 32257 or The John A. Baldwin Scholarship Fund at Bishop Kenny High School.
