Terry Michael Roach

A celebration of life will be held for Terry Roach at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 14, 2026 at Hilliard Funeral Home with Brett Wells officiating.

Terry Michael Roach was born on January 17, 1963, in DeWitt, Arkansas. He grew up in Dallas and later made his home in Tyler . Terry built a strong work ethic throughout his life, working as a pump mechanic at Delek Refinery. He was also self-employed and spent time as a master mechanic with Tyler Ford.

A natural thrill-seeker, Terry loved riding motorcycles and dirt bikes. He also found joy in fishing, hunting, and, most of all, spending time with his family. Terry lived life to the fullest and had a playful spirit-always a jokester, he was known for "pulling a fast one" and keeping everyone on their toes.

Terry passed away at the age of 63 on February 10, 2026, in Tyler. He was preceded in death by his mother, Mavis Louise Reneau Roach (2023); brother, Thomas L. Roach (2018); mother-in-law, Janie Marie Smith Hulsey Johnson (1998); and his father-in-law, Charles Hulsey (2016).

Survivors include his wife of 36 years (February 26, 1989), Theresa Roach; children, Heather Roach, Amber Roach, and Terry Roach, Jr. and his fiancé, Paige Hope; siblings and their spouses, Gwen Faulkner, Gary & Teresa Roach, and Sheilah & Randy Jones; sister-in-law, Cecilia Roach; grandchildren, Janie Roach, Grayson Roach, and Austin Troyer; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
