With heavy hearts, we say goodbye to Terrance Saner, 83, who entered the presence of our Heavenly Father on June 27, 2026, at Oakland Heights and Assisted Living.
He lived a full life of earthly blessings, marked by a loving and devoted wife, an ever-expanding family, and a community of fellowship.
Terry was born Dec. 23, 1942, in West Point, to Vincent and Eileen (Andresen) Saner. He was raised in West Point and attended St. Paul Lutheran School, where he met his wife, Ruth Ann Reppert, in first grade. They married on June 9, 1963.
When he was eight, his father passed away, and in the Lord’s perfect time, his mother remarried Arnold Meyer, who shaped Terry’s carpentry skills. Terry built a life rich in faith and family. He built a foundation of hard work and dedication at Meyer Building Company. His talent and care are evident in the community of West Point and in the homes of his family.
He loved to tease and joke, but ultimately wanted to take care of everyone, not as a burden but as a privilege. He was always planning the next trip or the next project, consistently on to the next adventure! He enjoyed cheering on the Huskers – win or lose, taking trips to Disney World with his family, and spending the everyday blessings with Ruth Ann.
He dedicated his life to the Lord with a strong desire to serve wherever the Lord led him. In all that he did, he gave all glory to God. Spending his mornings with devotions and the Word, he can now rejoice in heaven face to face with the Lord, and I'm sure he would say it was awesome!

He is preceded in death by his father, Vincent Saner; step-father, Arnold Meyer; mother, Eileen Meyer; brother-in-law, Wayne Brooks; step-brother, Gail Meyer; and step-sister, Shirley Ann Jacobsen.
