Terry A. Rudolph, a beloved family man and dedicated worker, passed away on June 4, 2025, in Columbus, Ohio. Born on March 2, 1961, in Columbus, Terry was a proud graduate of Columbus South High School, class of 1979, where he played football. He devoted over 19 years of his life to Auto Body Supply as a paint mixer, demonstrating his strong work ethic.
Terry was known for his vibrant personality; he had a wonderful sense of humor and always made those around him smile. He was a kind-hearted individual with a heart of gold, deeply loved by his family. He cherished the time spent with his children, grandchildren, and family, embracing every moment with a spirit full of joy and laughter.
Vacations were a special part of Terry's life, especially family trips to Myrtle Beach and visits to relatives in Kentucky, experiences that created lasting memories. His interests included a passion for Ohio State Buckeyes football, NASCAR, and bowling. He was an avid bowler for many years, participating in leagues, and held season passes for the amusement parks Kings Island and Cedar Point, which he loved visiting.
Terry is survived by his son, Daniel; daughter, Sarah; and his grandchildren, Americas Rudolph, Stephen, Mackenzie, and Hope Forbes. He also leaves behind his sister, Candy Moore; brothers, Larry Rudolph and James (Melissa) Rudolph; sister, Janet Rudolph; and many nieces, nephews, and extended relatives.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Lee and Shirley (Brewer) Rudolph, and his ex-wife, Peggy (Moore) Rudolph.
