In Loving Memory
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Brad Terry, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend who passed away suddenly at home at the age of 61.
He was survived by his wife of 40 years, Natalie, whose life was beautifully intertwined with his through decades of love, commitment, and shared memories. He was a proud and loving father to his daughters, Tonya Lawson and her husband Josh, and Tiffany Watkins and her husband Nathan Watkins. Nothing brought him greater joy than being ''Tiny'' to his two grandsons, James and John Watkins. His playful spirit, warm hugs, and endless teasing made every moment with them unforgettable.
Known for his goofy personality and endless supply of jokes, he had a special gift for making people smile. Whether it was a well-timed punchline, a silly grin, or one of his classic dad jokes, he never missed an opportunity to fill a room with laughter. His humor was how he showed love.
Brad was also an ordained minister, a calling he carried with humility and sincerity. He took great pride in sharing his faith, offering encouragement, and walking alongside others during some of life's most meaningful moments. Whether through prayer, counsel, or quiet example, he sought to reflect God's love in the way he lived and served.
An avid cowboy shooter, he found tremendous joy and fellowship in the cowboy shooting community. The countless friends and fellow cowboys he shot alongside will deeply miss his stories, his camaraderie, and his unmistakable spirit. His church family and many dear friends will remember his faithful heart and the kindness he showed so freely.
He is also survived by his sister, Kim Cunningham; his nephew, Blake; his niece, Bailey Abram and her husband Noah; and great-nephew Axton, who will cherish his memory always.
A service to celebrate his life will be held at Roller-Alcoa Funeral Home.
Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in the love he gave so freely and the legacy he leaves behind - a legacy of laughter, faith, loyalty, and unwavering devotion to family. His boots may now rest, but his stories, his jokes, and his love will live on in all of us.
He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
Visitation will be held Friday, February 26, 2026 from 6-8:00pm at Roller Alcoa in Benton. The funeral service will be held on Saturday at 2:00pm also at Roller Alcoa.
Graveside to follow at Cameron Cemetery on Samples Road.

I worked with Brad for many years in Information Systems at Baptist. He was so fun to be around! I've missed his smile and his jokes and just his company for a long time. I was so sorry to hear he passed away, but he's in his forever home now at the feet of Jesus where we all long to be!
I will keep your family in my prayers. "And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you". 1 Peter 5:10

I worked with Brad for a little over three years at FIS and Brad was one of the best people I have worked with in my 17 years at the company. I joined the team with a lot to learn and Brad was always there to help me with any issue I had and he taught me so much. He always said how much he loved to teach and that was evident as he approached teaching with genuine enthusiasm.
Aside from the wealth of knowledge that Brad was workwise, he was well versed in so many subjects and always had a great story or a joke to share. His sense of humor and wit made conversations with him so enjoyable. Subjects that we discussed at length at times were the "three G's", God, guns, and grammar, in that order.
Brad will be greatly missed and I offer my sincere condolences to his family.

I had the pleasure of working with Brad at FIS for over ten years, and always found him to be an engaging, intelligent and truly enjoyable coworker and friend.
The discussions about our Faith, our families, and life in general will always be good memories for me.
Additionally, some of our most important, and enjoyable discussions may have been on where the next best place to “eat out” was, and I will miss that.
So on behalf of myself and my wife Gail, we send our deepest condolences to Natalie and to the entire extended family.
And we will continue to pray that GOD comforts and Blesses you during this most difficult time.
