Terrence Nielsen Obituary
age 34, passed away unexpectedly on January 19, 2017. Terrence was born on April 14, 1982 in Glendale, AZ, and lived in the Phoenix metro area his whole life. He worked as a respected MRI technician in offices throughout the valley and truly enjoyed his job. He was a kind and caring son, brother and friend, and a loving father. One of his greatest talents was making people laugh.

We love you, Terrence, and will miss you deeply until we meet again.

I think of you every day, my son. I wish I could hear your laugh. I know that all you were in this world - your intelligence, the kind, loving heart you tried to hide, your wit and wisdom - lives on in what we call heaven. We'll be together again. In the meantime, you're always in our hearts.

Terrence was a great student of mine at Apollo College and after not seeing him for awhile, we made contact when he did my MRI exam at AzTech Imaging. It was great to see him at that time. Condolences to his family .
