Terry Leo Drazdoff

Terry Leo Drazdoff, born January 11, 1955, in Salem, Oregon, to Mary Jane and Leo Drazdoff, passed away peacefully on August 16, 2026.

Terry was raised on the family farm in Buena Vista, Oregon, where he developed a lifelong connection to the land and the Willamette Valley. After attending college, Terry spent most of his working life as a cherry farmer, tending to his orchards along the Willamette River.

Terry was truly one of a kind. He was funny, outgoing, and loved to socialize. A real character, Terry, was never afraid to speak his mind and had a personality that people remembered. Although he could be rough around the edges, those who knew him best knew that beneath it all was a heart of gold and a deep love for the people in his life.

When he wasn't working, Terry enjoyed fishing, camping, and spending time with family and friends. He had a way of bringing laughter and personality wherever he went, and he will be remembered for the many stories, smiles, and memories he left behind.

Terry is survived by his beloved wife, Olivia; his daughter, Kristen Lukins; his granddaughter, Ashley Drazdoff; and his grandsons, Matthew Lukins and Alex Lukins.

Terry lived life in his own unmistakable way, leaving an impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his family, friends, and all who call him a part of their lives.

Graveside Service will be held for Terry on Saturday August 29th, 2026, 1:00PM at Buena Vista Cemetery in Independence, Oregon.
