Terry Lee Rutledge, 69, of Roanoke, Va., passed away on Monday, May 3, 2021.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Jesse and Madeline Rutledge.

Terry is survived by the love of his life, Rocky Flora West; his children, Dustin and Colleen Rutledge, Krystal and Donald Eckles; and Marsha Batey; nine grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren; siblings, Cary Rutledge, Roger and Melissa Rutledge, Michael and Nancy Rutledge, Jess Rutledge, Bill and Vickie Rutledge, Pat Shelor, and Carol and Jim Brown; and too many nieces and nephews to mention by name but each held a special place in his heart.

He was a prominent member of the bowling community; lived for time spent with his family grilling on Rib Sundays, was an avid NASCAR fan that never met a stranger. You would always know when Terry entered a room by a bellowing proclamation “Buddies” and “Thank you Maskman.”

A “Special Thank You” to all the friends and family that have shown their support during this most difficult time.
