Tero, it's ya boy Charlii Brown! i haven't seen you since just after high school but, you are sorely missed. i got the news of your passing while living here in Florida. It was a pleasure growing up with you at Walnut Ridge, and my heart goes out to your family. They have lost a lot with your passing.The wonderful thing is that you are home where all angels should be. While your up there, writing raps, and making god laugh, please remember to smile down on us, and protect us in the shadow of your wings.

Tero, you will be missed. I remember listening to you at lunch, showing your talent even then. I recently went through my old pictures and saw a pic of us hugging in front of the lockers.You always knew how to make everyone around you smile. Your great personality was infectious. You will be missed, but your spirit will live on. To the Smith family, you have my condolences. Tero was a great person, and I am blessed to have known him.

Tero will be missed. He was a very sweet person who would make you laugh when you were down. There were times at WR that he made memorable and they will never be forgotten. May you rest in Peace among the choir of Angels and may the sounds they make bring happiness to everyone you knew. For we all know that you are leading them in joyous song and the lyrics will touch the hearts of many. May they comfort and embrace your parents with the love that you gave and put them at peace as well. You are in a better place and you watch over everyone you left behind.

I saw you perform a couple times. Once in Baltimore, and then once in Richmond, VA, but I never met you in person. You will be sorely missed. Your musical aspirations were definitely cut too short.

Mu,
You were one in a million, Brother. I will never forget the time we spent together in the late 90's. It was an exciting time, watching you guys flourish and take off. Getting that call from Bobbito is still one of my proudest moments. I can remember playing that message from him for you guys over and over again, listening to the joy in your voices. "Whatever, whatever." Priceless. I am so proud of you for all you went on to do, and my copy of World Premier will forever be cherished. I only wish we had stayed in touch. It was only a few weeks ago that we sat together. When I left that night, I wept because I could see the pain you were in. I hope you are free now, my friend.
Love,
Nel

May God bless your family, friends and fans all over the world. You will remain one of the biggest influences in my life. A "true" friend in every sense of the word, which is rare in today's world. I'm honored to have been your friend for over 12 years. You will live on through me and all the many lives you've touched. There will never be anyone like you! You are a Columbus legend and will never ever be forgotten. We will all miss you!
