Terry Shamburg, 71, Beloit
BELOIT – On October 27th, Terry Shamburg was surrounded by friends and family, in his childhood home, when he went to be with the Lord.
Born on May 11th, 1950, in Beloit, KS to parents Eugene (Gene) Shamburg and Norma Shamburg (Emmert), Terry’ s childhood was spent on a 4th generation, family farm. Life on the farm was always full of adventures. Terry loved hunting birds and rabbits with his BB gun, riding horses with his sisters, taking bicycle trips on the dirt roads and trying to make family pets out of many different farm animals.
As soon as he was old enough, Terry started working side by side with his father. During this time he developed his love for the land, leading to a farming and ranching career; a passion Terry would later instill in his own son, Luke.
Terry’ s formal education started at Randall Elementary where he attended first through fourth grade. He transferred to Beloit in fifth grade and graduated from Beloit High School with the class of 1968. Terry excelled as an athlete and would remain a lifelong supporter of Beloit athletics and an ardent fan of Kansas (KU) basketball. After high school, he attended Fort Hays University.
On October 1st, 1983, he married the love of his life, Lynn Newell. They were married for 38 years and raised two daughters, Kendra and Lindsey, and one son, Luke. A devoted husband and dedicated father, his long hours in the field never prevented him from prioritizing family. He coached his children in sports, went to every activity they participated in and supported each accomplishment. His children adored him. His love for the Lord was evident in everything he did. He led by example and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
