Buddy Terrell, Jr.

Beverly “Buddy” Joseph Terrell, Jr. passed away on Monday, August 25, 2025, at the age of 89. He was a lifelong resident of Baton Rouge, LA. He loved fishing at Lake Verret with his wife, Shirley and two daughters. He loved deer hunting with his dad, brothers, brothers-in-law, and nephews. He was among the best industrial electric motor repairmen in the Baton Rouge area for over 35 years. He was called upon to repair motors as far away as the Dominican Republic. Buddy often joked how he would go to work and not come home for three days due to working on the job. Buddy’s laugh and sweet spirit will be greatly missed.

Buddy is survived by his daughters, Terri Anderson (Roger) and Darla Gatte (Treb); grandchildren, Vivian and Simon Gatte; siblings, Ronnie Terrell (Maggie), Kenneth Terrell, and Judy Lemoine; and a host of other family members. He is preceded in death by wife of 46 years, Shirley; a baby daughter; parents, Beverly J. Terrell, Sr. and Theresa Terrell; and sisters, Rose Furnish and Elaine Richardson.
