Terence Stephen Vest

Terence "Terry" Stephen Vest, of Springdale, Ark., was born in Fort Smith, Ark. on July 1, 1949, to Alvin and Norma Vest who both preceded him in death. He entered the gates of Heaven on Aug. 5, 2014, while vacationing with family in Hawaii. Terry was a 1971 University of Arkansas graduate and member of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity. He retired in November 2013 following 39 years of service with Farm Credit Services of Western Arkansas. His daily life was a testament to his duty to place God first and foremost in all things.

He is survived by beloved wife Judy Patrick Vest whom he married on Aug. 26, 1972; loving daughter Randi Kay Graham and husband Larry, of Wichita, Kan.; devoted son Patrick Stephen Vest, of Little Rock, Ark.; three loving grandchildren whom he adored: Ender, Eli and Ella Graham, of Wichita, Kan.; two faithful brothers, Ron Vest, of Charleston, Ark., and Randy Vest and wife JoAnn of Ozark, Ark.; nephews, and an extensive circle of family and friends. A celebration of Terry's life will take place Wednesday, Aug. 13, at 1 p.m. at Springdale Cross Church, 1709 Johnson Road. The family requests memorials be made to Gideons International, P.O.
