It is very hard saying goodbye to someone who is such a good person and was a great childhood friend. I have such wonderful memories growing up on Vilardo Lane and feel we were all blessed with such wonderful times. Ter was definitely a special guy who everyone enjoyed and loved. I was so glad we connected again on FB to enjoy our "own family" stories.... he always had nothing but kind words to say ❤. You'll be greatly missed my friend, RIP.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Colburn family, God bless you all, Love,

I will always hold dear to my heart the multitude of auctions we went to like we really needed anything else huh! Terry always "bragged" on how we slept together (on the LSMs). Love you buddy. You and Theresa will forever be a part of me.

I liked Terry before I actually met him. He had a wonderful smile, and a booming laugh. Some of my best times at work were when I worked with him and Kent. He always made the day brighter. You will be missed Terry. ❤

It is very difficult to even think about losing your baby brother, let alone accepting it. The lifeguard at Berwick Beach Swim Club (who is now my wife) always benched him for running. Terry was very special to so many who had the pleasure of knowing him. I was always so proud of Terry in so many ways but especially of his high school football and wrestling days. It was a privilege to call him my baby brother. Terry would always say jokingly about people he ran into that they were from Johnson Park. You will be greatly missed my dear brother but never far from our hearts!
