Terry G. Rudek
June 14, 1961 - May 31, 2026
Visitation: Thursday, June 4, 2026, 4-8 pm; Devlin Funeral Home of Cranberry Township
Service: Friday, June 5, 2026, 10 am; St. Kilian Church.
Terry G. Rudek, a devoted husband, loving father, and cherished grandfather, left us on May 31, 2026, at the age of 64. Born on June 14, 1961, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Terry was a beacon of vibrancy and kindness throughout his life, leaving an indelible mark on everyone he encountered.
Terry was the beloved husband of Tracie Rudek, with whom he shared a joyful union since February 14, 2025. He was a dedicated father to Rachel (Nicholas) Overbaugh, and step-father to Corey (Ally), Travis, Dustin (Makali), and Shane. As a proud grandfather, he found his greatest joy in his role as “Papa” to Callan, Isaac, Tessa, Mason, Maya, and Carson—never missing a dance recital, hockey game, or school play. He was also a caring brother to Michael (Tiffany), Robert (Trish), and Jean; and uncle to Savannah, Alexis, and Cole.
Terry devoted more than four decades to Westinghouse Electric Company, where he earned the respect of colleagues through his leadership, integrity and commitment to excellence. He took great pride in developing others and left a lasting impact on the people, teams, and the organization he served.
Outside of his career, Terry was a die-hard Patriots fan with an adventurous spirit. He enjoyed hiking, biking, traveling, and live music, but most of all, he loved bringing people together. A gifted storyteller with a sharp wit and infectious sense of humor, he had a remarkable ability to turn everyday moments into unforgettable memories. His selflessness and generosity were evident to all, as he always placed the needs of others before his own.
Terry was active in the Cranberry Township Sunset Rotary and the Elks Club, where he enjoyed connecting with others and supporting his local community, bringing energy to both organizations.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made to the Center for Organ Recovery & Education (CORE), honoring Terry’s everlasting spirit of giving.
Family and friends are welcome on Thursday from 4-8 pm at Devlin Funeral Home of Cranberry Township, 2678 Rochester Road, Cranberry Township. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Friday at 10 am at St. Kilian Church

Tracie and the Rudek and extended family, I am so sorry for your loss. I had the privilege of working with Terry when he was in Windsor and then in Cranberry, and I will never forget how he made all of us feel valued, respected, and truly cared for. His kindness, generosity, and genuine interest in people left a lasting impression on everyone he met. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Tracie – please accept the deepest condolences of all your SAE ITC and SAE International colleagues.

Terry continually amazed us when we’d gather at the Elks on Friday to talk about our week.
Terry’s often involved traveling to South America or Europe and high level work. And yet, he would listen to everyone carefully. Above all Terry glowed when talking about his grandkids. It was genuine and strong.
We will also remember our wild times as a team for the Elks Scavenger Hunt.
Terry will be missed for sure!
Words cannot express the deepest sympathy I feel for Terry’s family. Terry was a great man. I’ve had the privilege of helping Terry purchase and sell many homes. Such a wonderful business man with a great sense of humor – and most of all, a great person. Terry, you will be surely missed. Rest in peace.
Rachel and Nick, our thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
It was a pleasure working with you from the CE days until I retired. As so many others have said you were one of the good guys. You will be missed.
Rest easy Terry, I only hope I can stand half as tall, and be half the man you were. I love you.

I will always cherish the time I spent traveling in Brazil with Terry. He brought a unique blend of kindness, technical expertise, humor and genuine character to every situation. Terry was always willing to roll up his sleeves to help customers solve complex challenges, while making the situation enjoyable with his quick wit. He made a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of working with him. My deepest sympathies go out to his family, friends and all who loved him.

To the entire Rudek family. I am so heartbroken for all of you, I was a very dear friend of his mom for 55 years and Dorothy spoke often of him along with all her children and grandkids. Her family was her world and I know Terry was the same. She was so proud of his accomplishments. God speed Terry. 🙏🙏
