I miss you so much Daddy and I'm grateful that I had a father like you in my life to guide me to adulthood. You were the best father a girl could ever ask for and you never missed a beat when it came to us. Love and miss you so much and your grand kids would have loved to meet you.

It is very sad to lose good people. Terrill and I go way back to 2nd grade. I will always remember his smile, great personality, and the way he made other people laugh. He will be missed by many.

Terrill, you will be missed! I remember when you, Samara, and I worked at the Urbandale Max 10 years ago. You used to make us laugh so much that they put us in separate corners of the store, but we still kept getting in trouble.

To the Butler family, Terrill will be missed deeply. He kept me going through high school, he either had a smile or he knew how to make you laugh. He was a true friend and you raised a good son. My prayers are with you.

May God bless you all during the loss of Terrill. His daughter Teayle and my daughter Ash went to the same elementary school together, and he was at every field trip, school happenings, everything his kids were in and I hope that his girls will find comfort in knowing that you had a wonderful, wonderful dad. May God bless you all.

My condolescences go out to Terrill's family. I had the pleasure of meeting Terrill about 20 years ago. Back then he was the best D.J. at all of the house parties that I went to and he always had the best sense of humor. His personality was unmatched and he could make the worst situation seem comical. Back then, we knew him as the seventh letter "G". I later had the pleasure of reconnecting with Terrill while working at Washington-Edison Elementary. He was a very active father when he girls attended there.

You will be greatly missed.

Oh, sooo many memories. Terrill was so silly that he would make you laugh if you were crying and then you'd laugh so hard you'd end up crying again. My mom used to call him "the little guy with the big hair" back in the day, but his heart was bigger than any fade that he ever wore. He made a lasting impression on everyone that he encountered and touched every life. To the Family: Be strong and hold on to all of the good times and good memories (Lord know's with him there are enough to remember forever). He loved you all very very much and is in Heaven now were he deifinitely sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. Find comfort in each other and knowing that he never wanted to see anyone unhappy or not smiling.

In Our Prayers!

Rashada(Payne)Mays and the entire Payne family

I will never forget Terrill's sense of humor, or his smile. He was a giant in a little body, and he had an heart of gold. I'll never forget the days at Central in A Hall. Terrill, Ki Ki, Disco, Bean, Tezzie, Scotty, Dre, Lee, n I (the lone girl out of the bunch). Every time he bent the corner he had a joke for us. Man I miss those days. Terrill was a very talented and strong man (How many men do you know that will take on two, not one, but two girls alone?). He will be greatly missed by many. We Love You Terrill! May your soul rest in peace. Our prayers are with the family, and especially your beautiful daughters.
