Terry Lee Schlotzhauer passed away at his home in Phoenix, Arizona, on August 24, 2026. Born on April 23, 1949, to Marshall and Mabel (Street) Schlotzhauer, he graduated from Richmond High School in 1967. He attended CMSU for two years before joining the U.S. Air Force and serving in Vietnam. After completing his military service, he worked in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for American Airlines as an airframe and powerplant mechanic. He retired to Arizona in 2010 after 30 ½ years with American Airlines.

He was preceded in death by his father, Marshall; his mother, Mabel; his stepfather, Herb Wollard; his brother, Jack Schlotzhauer; and his wives, Sabrina Schlotzhauer and Debbie Schlotzhauer.

He is survived by his daughter, Angela (Matt) Pregler of Oklahoma; grandchildren, Payten and Brayden Pregler; brothers, Kent (Peggy) Wollard and Randy (Amanda) Wollard; sister-in-law, Vaki Schlotzhauer; nieces, Anna Schlotzhauer (Jim Bergman) and Maggie Wollard; nephew, Tony (Melissa) Schlotzhauer; great-niece, Daphne Bergman; great-nephew, Dane Bergman; and other extended family members.

Terry was truly one of a kind-a man who knew what he loved and lived on his own terms. In retirement, he found happiness in Arizona's warm weather and the things he enjoyed most: fast motorcycles, guns, cars, and, above all, his beloved high school sweetheart, Debbie. He cherished their time together, especially watching sunsets with Debbie and her dog, Callie Jo. A devoted AC/DC fan, Terry believed the louder the music, the better. He was most content at home, surrounded by familiar comforts, and rarely eager to leave them. His pleasures may have been simple, but the life he created was rich in love and lasting memories.

Burial will be at a later date.
