Terry Phillip Graydon

Terry P. Graydon, beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend, passed away Thursday, April 15, 2021 at the age of 73. He loved the Lord greatly and showed that love in his many activities and projects at Blue Ridge Baptist Church, where he has been a member since 1979 and served as a deacon for over twenty five years. He enjoyed working in his shop, gardening, yard work, and making wood products. After retirement he learned to play bridge, where he met so many wonderful friends. He took great delight in giving of his time and talents to make others happy. He loved planning trips and cruising with his wife. One of his greatest joys was spending time with his six grandchildren whom he loved dearly.

Terry worked for many years for Turner Electric where he learned skills that lasted a lifetime. He became an electrical inspector for the City of Montgomery and later Chief Electrical Inspector until his retirement in 2010. He was a member of IAEI where he was state president and secretary, and served as Southern Section President of IAEA in 2007. He was a member of the Colonial Club and enjoyed the many friendships there.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Rawdon and Elizabeth Graydon and his in-laws, Sidney and Ruth Summerlin, who also loved him as a son. Loving survivors include his wife of almost 53 years, Linda Summerlin Graydon; his sister, Mary Rhyne; children, Phillip Graydon wife Staci and children Jacob, Tyler and Allie; Amy Graydon Casey husband Ryan and children Gray and Sydney; Summer Graydon Simpson and son Chase.

His favorite Bible verse was Romans 8:28. All things work together for good to them that love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. He tried very hard to live that verse.
