Terry Irving McCallum – 61, North River, passed away suddenly at home early Friday morning, July 17, 2026, as the result of an unexpected medical emergency. Born in Truro, he was a son of the late Clarence and Sharon (Lynds) McCallum. 

Terry was a trucker all of his life and absolutely loved it. He worked with Albany Cartage, Flemming Feeds, and for the past 25 years with TDL Group Corp. He enjoyed snowmobiling and was a member of North Shore Snowmobile Club and also exploring with his side by side. He was very meticulous about the upkeep of his truck and his toys, and many would say he had the cleanest truck in Colchester County, perhaps even Nova Scotia! He and his friends travelled around to different areas to take in stock car racing. He had a soft spot in his heart for his grand-dog, Sam.

Terry is survived by his wife of 32 years, Susan (Terry); sons, Craig (Taylor) McCallum, North River; Trent McCallum (MacKenzie Boyd), North River; siblings, Roger (Lorna) McCallum, Earltown; Darren (Jackie) McCallum, Lawrencetown, Halifax County; Jason McCallum, Truro; Sonya McCallum, Mississauga, Ontario; several nieces and nephews.

Terry’s family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to members of North River and District Fire Brigade for their assistance and efforts.

Funeral service will be held 4 p.m., Wednesday, July 22, 2026, at Community United Church, 250 Brunswick Street, Truro. If so desired, donations in Terry’s memory to STEPS on Arthur or North Shore Snowmobile Club are welcomed. 

Arrangements have been entrusted to Mattatall – Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro. Tributes, words of comfort and memories may be shared at: www.mattatallvarnerfh.com
