Terry Tatro

Terry Tatro passed away on September 23, 2026, at the age of 61.

Terry will be remembered for the joy he found in music and for the love he gave so freely to those closest to him. Elvis Presley’s music held a special place in his heart, and Terry was well known for his enthusiasm and affection for Elvis. He enjoyed taking part in Elvis look-alike contests and singing in those competitions, sharing his spirit and love of performance with others. Music was one of the great pleasures of his life, and that passion became part of how many will remember him.

Above all, Terry’s greatest devotion was to his family. His happiest moments were spent at home with his granddaughter, whom he lovingly called his “teddy bear,” or in his man cave, teaching her how to sing Elvis songs. Those memories reflect the warmth, pride, and affection that shaped his life and the special bond he shared with her.

Terry Tatro will be remembered with love for his lively personality, his unmistakable love of Elvis, and the deep care he carried for his family. May his memory bring comfort to all who knew and loved him.
