Terry "T.R." Alan Roller, age 61, of Purdy, Missouri, passed away on Monday, December 12, 2022, at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. The son of William "Bill" and Evelyn "Peggy" (Miller) Roller, Terry was born on May 24, 1961, in Monett, Missouri.  He was a 1979 graduate of Purdy High School. On February 21, 1999, he was united in marriage to Misty Kresyman in Harrison, Arkansas, and they spent many wonderful years together.

Terry was a reputable American Kennel Club breeder, and his heeler dogs are known far and wide for their excellence. His dogs were a great source of joy in his life, and he would run them daily. Terry was an active member of the American Quarter Horse Association, and truly enjoyed time spent working with his horses. He was a talented singer and spent time traveling regionally with the Gospel Echoes Quartet. Terry also hosted the Annual Booger Holler Buddy Squirrel Tournament in his hometown of Purdy.

Terry was a beloved friend to many, and his barn became a gathering place for those he was closest to. As many friends and interests as Terry had, his family was always his utmost priority and the pride of his life, and he loved being a husband, father and grandfather. Terry was a good, Christian man, and he will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
