Life is so surreal at times, and this is one of those times. You brought laughter, joy, and love into whatever room you entered. Your presence impacted those around you greatly. Thank you for all the wonderful times. Around this time last year you showed your classmates a wonderful time at Charlie’s Place and those memories will never be forgotten. As life often get in the way you did your due diligence to bring us all together again. We are grateful for that! May your children and family be reminded of your presence energetically daily as they embark on this journey without you. With love…
I met Terrell when he was in high school at McClellan with my son, EJ Jones. They played on the football team together, superstars! Another parent and I nicknamed Terrell “Mr. Silky Smooth” because of the way he glided on the football field.
He was always a nice young man who called me “Momma” like most of my son’s friends. I am saddened by his untimely death. But, even if we do not understand, HE knows all things and the reason why.
Rest in Peace Terrell
Where do I start, from you swearing you was Ginuwine, to your juicy fruit shenanigans, to college. I believe I could think of a lot of stories and they all are followed with true authentic friendship. Our birthdays are two days a part so we always ensured we wished each other Happy Birthday. You made everyone feel loved, even our last time together for Class Reunion. Thank you for everything and you will be truly missed. Prayers for strength for your family.
Terrell you were such a sweet and kind person. I’ll cherish our memories. Rest in Love you’ll be missed.
Terrell you were genuinely one of the positive men I’ve ever known. My heart grows heavy with the thought that you’re not with us anymore, but I smile knowing that you sit with the father now in eternal life. I’m blessed to have known you in this life and hope one day I’ll see you in the next.
Rest in peace. We love you!
I met Terrell working in the kitchen at Charlie's place, he was my taster for new dishes . Clean-cut and nicely dressed, sending prayers to the family and friends.
My guy will be missed. Sending condolences to my Granddaughter (Skye) and Teresa. “Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal.”
