Terrance Francis "Terry" Sylvester

Terry Sylvester passed away on Saturday, February 5, 2022, at the age of 79. He was born in Sault Ste. Marie, MI on May 4, 1942, the son of the late Fred and Merle Sylvester.

A proud U. S. Army Veteran and true patriot, Terry dutifully served his country for the majority of his life. He completed three tours in Vietnam where he was awarded a Silver Star, two Bronze Stars and two Purple Hearts. Following his military career, he continued serving his country while working in Civil Service at Robins Air Force Base before retiring. Terry was an avid fan of NASCAR, Alabama Football (ROLL TIDE!) and the Green Bay Packers. Those who knew him will remember his zest for life and the unconditional love he had for his family.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his former wife, Doris Jean Sylvester.

He is survived by his loving sons, Richard Sylvester, Josh Sylvester, Robert Mattingly (Lisa) and Rose Marie Sylvester; seven grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and brothers, Jim Sylvester (Frances) and Dan Sylvester (Carol).
