Dominic "Jack" Terrago Jr.

AUSTINTOWN - Dominic "Jack" Terrago Jr., 78, passed away on June 24, 2023. 

He was born on July 8, 1944, in Youngstown to Dominic J. and Linda Hammond Terrago Sr. 

After attending Youngstown State University, he joined the United States Navy where he attended Radar School. Jack proudly served his country and continued to support his fellow veterans throughout his life. 

Jack worked for Packard Electric G.M. for thirty years until retirement. Outside of work, Jack was a dedicated husband and father who devoted his life to his family. As an avid sports fan, he cherished time spent watching games with family and friends.

Jack's love for Ohio State never wavered and his Buckeye pride could be seen from miles away. He especially relished the opportunity to cheer on the Buckeyes alongside loved ones during big games.

Jack is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Betty Hagenbring Terrago whom he married on July 23, 1966; devoted daughter Gina Terrago of Pittsburgh, PA; son Jack Terrago III of Austintown; two brothers Paul Terrago of Florida and Joseph Terrago of Struthers; sister-in-law Barbara Shopinsky of Austintown; many nieces and nephews; and countless friends whose lives were touched by his kindness.

He is preceded in death by his parents Dominic J. and Linda Hammond Terrago Sr., sister Linda Terrago, as well as his brother-in-law James Shopinsky.

While we mourn the loss of Jack today, it is important to celebrate the incredible impact he had on those around him during his life. His kindness, dedication to family and his country, love for sports, will forever be remembered by those whose lives he touched.
