Terry Frislid, 68, passed away on Thursday, June 26, 2025, in Roswell, New Mexico. Please take a moment to share a kind thought, memory or story with Terry’s family at www.andersonbethany.com. Terry was born in Bentonville, Arkansas, into a military family. His mother, Betty Carr Finley and father, USAF Tech Sergeant, Alban Frislid, both of whom precede him in death. In 1965 Terry moved to Roswell, and from then on, he was a life-long Roswell resident. He graduated from Goddard High School and then continued his education at Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell, where he received many certificates in auto mechanics and welding. Terry worked at TMC/Nova Bus for 19 years and then went on to work for the City of Roswell, here he worked until his retirement in 2020. In 1991, while working for TMC, Terry met and married the love of his life Sandy, while they both worked. In 1996 they were married and spent 29 years living a life full of love and laughter together. Like many of the others in his family, Terry was a true animal lover, he was known around town to be driving around in his truck with his dogs in the back. Terry was an avid Harley Davidson fan, having bought his first motorcycle in the 1980’s. Some of his best days were spent as a lifetime “Wild Hog” riding his motorcycle with his two-wheel brothers. He lived life by the motto “FTW” which to him meant, forever two wheels. A devoted rider with a soul as free as the road, Terry lived life with unbridled passion and a fierce sense of adventure. Those left to eternally treasure their memories of Terry are his wife, Sandy Dockal Frislid; his younger sister, Janice Frislid; stepsisters, Cindy Miller and Elaine Finley; stepsons, Shawn Dockal and wife Vernie and Billy Roark; in-laws, Jerry and Lynette Dockal, Richard “Doc” and Christine Dockal, Deserrea and John L. Singleton, and Lee Campbell; numerous nephews and nieces; and a very large extended family from both sides of his family. Terry is also preceded in death by his stepfather, David Finley; older sister, Karin Frislid; maternal grandparents, Birdie and John Carr; paternal grandparents, Lola and John Frislid; and his grandmother, Lillie Finley. This tribute was written in love and honor by Terry’s family.
