Terry Rider Obituary

Terry "Kevin" Rider

VANCE -- Terry "Kevin" Rider, 73, of Vance, passed away after a brief illness on Saturday, April 16, 2022.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, April 21, 2022, at Thompson Funeral Home Chapel, 1012 Whitman St., Orangeburg.

Kevin's request was that everyone in attendance be dressed casual: blue jeans, Clemson shirt and cowboy boots.

The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, April 20, 2022, at Thompson Funeral Home Chapel.

Mr. Rider was born on Feb. 25, 1949, in Kershaw County. He was the son of the late John C. Rider and Lorene Munn Rider. He was the owner and operator of Right-Way Roofing for over 55 years. Kevin had many hobbies that included watching NASCAR, Clemson Tiger football, riding in his black Corvette and sitting on his porch swing, but his passion was helping and giving to others.

He was predeceased by his father, children, Terry Rider, Khristian Rider, John Henry Rider, brothers, Johnny Rider, Myron Rider and Kerwin "Curly" Rider.
