SLOVAK — Robert Terry Drotar,
the Ambassador of Slovak, avid hunter and fisherman, computer genius, and Subiaco Academy legend, passed away at 67 years old, on Wednesday, February 17, 2021. Terry was a Christian believer who grew up in Slovak and was known by everyone as a man who lived his life unapologetically and on his own terms. He was gifted at making people laugh through his dry, and sometimes even silly, sense of humor. Terry was a hardworking man who had an exceptional ability and willingness to help others. He was extremely generous and would give anyone the shirt off his own back. Terry was a people person who never met a stranger. He was a dynamic athlete and an epic football player who took great pride in being a Trojan. Terry was a loyal friend, a devoted father, and an all around family man. But Terry’s favorite title was “Grandaddy”. His shining moment and finest hour was as a grandad.
When Terry left Arkansas and went to hunt and fish in paradise forever, he left behind two two adoring daughters, Terra Drotar Vinet (and son-in-law Brennon Vinet), Lyndsey Drotar (and their mother, Gayle Kirk), and God-daughter, Brooke Prislovsky. Terry left behind nine beloved grandchildren, Slayden, Payton, Tinsley, Kherington (K-Love), Kinner and Kain Vinet and Isabella and Hadlee Drotar-Chester and Declan Thompson. He also leaves behind his mother, Adelaide Drotar; sister, Paula Coburn; and brother, John Drotar. Terry was preceded in death by his father, Robert Drotar; and sisters, Karen Fitts, Carmen Lee, and Monica Lane.
Terry will be missed beyond measure but never replaced or forgotten. A Graveside Service will be held Sunday, February 28, 2021, at 2 p.m., at St. Cyril and Methodius Church, 1852 Hwy. 86 W., Slovak, Ark. There will be a Life Celebration for Terry immediately following, at Harr House, 3749 Harr Drive (off of Highway 343), Fairmount, Ark., (5 minutes from church).
