We lost a great friend and Rotarian today and Fountain Inn will never be the same. Rest in Peace PD Terry.
In Loving Memory of Rodger “PD” Terry
A Lifelong Servant to the City of Fountain Inn
The City of Fountain Inn honors and remembers Rodger “PD” Terry, a devoted public servant whose life’s work helped shape generations of residents and the heart of our community.
PD began his career with the City of Fountain Inn on February 28, 1977, dedicating more than three decades of full-time service until his retirement on June 9, 2011. Throughout his tenure, he became synonymous with Parks and Recreation in Fountain Inn, serving for many years as Recreation Director and building programs, facilities, and traditions that brought families together and fostered a lifelong love of recreation, teamwork, and community pride.
Under his leadership, countless children played their first games, families gathered for community events, and friendships were formed on ballfields and courts across the city. His commitment, consistency, and care for others left an enduring mark—one so meaningful that PD Terry City Park proudly bears his name, standing as a lasting symbol of his impact.
PD Terry's legacy lives on in the programs he built, the park that honors his name, and the many lives he touched through decades of service. The City of Fountain Inn is deeply grateful for his dedication, leadership, and unwavering commitment to our community.
He will be remembered not only for what he did, but for who he was—a mentor, a leader, and a true cornerstone of Fountain Inn.
We will celebrate the impact of PD's legacy to our community in the coming days and weeks, but today we mourn his loss and lift up the Terry family in prayer.
