Rodger “PD” Glenn Terry, 75, husband of Nancy Louise Hughes Terry for 47 years, passed away on January 5, 2026. 

Rodger was born in Fountain Inn, South Carolina, on February 21, 1950 to the late Lewis “Luke” C. Terry Sr and Yonnie Rodgers Terry.

Surviving, in addition to his wife, are his sons William Joshua “Josh" Terry (Katie) and Thomas Tyler Terry, his granddaughter Mary Campbell Louise Terry (Josh & Katie), his brothers Joe Terry (Elizabeth) and Edwin Terry (Pam), his brother-in-law Ronnie (Brenda), sister-in-law Jennie (Joe) and his many nephews, nieces, grand-nephews & grand-nieces.

He was predeceased by his parents, his step mother Mary Rodgers Terry, his brother Lewis C. Terry Jr., and his nephew Greg Terry.

He was a graduate of Hillcrest High School and served as the Fountain Inn Recreation Director from 1977 until 2008. During his more than three decades in the recreation department he built programs, facilities, and traditions that brought families together and fostered a lifelong love of teamwork and community pride. 

Under his leadership, countless children played their first games, families gathered for community events, and friendships were formed on ballfields and courts across the city. Because of his commitment, consistency and care for others the town’s City Park was named in his honor. 

A firm believer in the positive power of youth athletics, he dedicated his life to encouraging children, leading by example, and using words only if he had to. He stepped in when help was needed, stood firm when it mattered most, and did it all without seeking recognition only wanting to see young people succeed.●
