Terrance was a reliable presence for many people.

He enjoyed spending time with his family and watching his grandkids play ball. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle, watching Chiefs football, and camping and vacations with Donna.
He was a wonderful soul, the life of the party, and was loved by all who knew him. He will be greatly missed.
