Terry was born December 26, 1957 in Alexandria, LA and passed away Thursday, February 27, 2025 in Choudrant, LA. Terry spent his life dedicated to faith, family, and hard work.
Terry met the love of his life, Brenda, in high school, and together they attended NLU in Monroe. They married on June 3, 1978, and in 1980, they made their home in Ruston. Terry built a career in the finance industry, but his true passion was raising cattle—a love he inherited from his father while growing up on their family farm in Ball, LA.
Terry had a great enthusiasm for college baseball, especially cheering on the LSU Tigers, faithfully following every game.
A devoted man of faith, Terry found great joy in sharing his love for the Lord and serving alongside his church family at Calvary Baptist Church. His boisterous personality, unwavering faith, and deep love for those around him left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.
Terry was preceded in death by his parents, Frankie and Matt Lofton; brother, Robert Lofton; niece, Lynn Lofton Walker; and his in-laws, Bobbiline and Bobbie McLemore.
He is survived by his wife, Brenda; two daughters, Janna Young and her husband Matthew and Jennifer Derr and her husband Ryan; grandchildren, Lydia, Kyla, Ilanna, Nathan, Hannah, and Obadiah Young; brother, Dewey Lofton and his wife Karen; brother-in-law, Kent McLemore and his wife Kathy; sister-in-law, Lela Lofton; several nieces and nephews and a host of friends.
Serving as pallbearers will be K.C. Allen, Beau Burton, Troy Harrison, Jimmy Leggett, Mark Milstead, Rick Nelson, and Craig Walker.
He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
