Steven Terrell Obituary

Published by Legacy on Mar. 28, 2024.
Steven Randall "Randy" Terrell, age 71, of Rainbow City, Alabama passed away on Tuesday, March 26, 2024.
He was preceded in death by his Father Charles Terrell; MotherNorma (Pace) Housewright, and his beloved grandparents.
He is survived by his children: Chris Terrell (Holly) of Rainbow City, Al; Shane Terrell of Austin, Tx; and Kimberly Terrell of Cartersville, Ga; 5 Grandchildren: Mason, Kylie, Savannah, Henley, and Tristan; and his former wife and dear friend, Jody Terrell. Stepfather: Kyle Housewright; Brother, Billy Housewright (Rita); Sister, Sandra Blair (Mike).
Randy was born in Aiken, South Carolina. However, after moving around several times as a child he finally landed in Church Hill, Tennessee. Randy was a graduate of Church Hill High School and the University of Tennessee. He was a lifelong VOL fan, and proudly served his country as a Captain in the United States Army. After his time in the army, he worked as a stockbroker and corporate project manager. He loved to travel and enjoyed telling stories about his time working in England and Scotland. His greatest passion was being at the soccer field watching his children play. He was extremely proud and really looking forward to seeing his grandchildren grow up and follow their dreams. In his spare time, he loved to read, fish, eat sweets, and try to play golf. He liked working in his yard and attempting to fix things around his house. He was an avid dog lover and always willing to let his best bud Rocky push him off the couch.
Though his earthly life was cut short, we have assurance of his eternal home and know that today he can see like never before, run and not grow weary, and now has no more pain, no more tears, and no more questions.
Our family would like to extend a special thanks to his caregivers at Gadsden Regional Medical Center, DaVita Dialysis, and Southside Medical Clinic for their care and compassion these past few months.
In lieu of flowers, the family would request any donations be made to Miss Mimi's Animal Rescue (look up on Facebook)located in Cartersville, Ga or to the Benevolence fund of White Springs Baptist Church (www.whitespringsbaptist.org).
A visitation for Randy will be held Saturday, March 30, 2024from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM at Collier-Butler Funeral Home, 824 Rainbow Drive, Gadsden, AL 35901, followed by a funeral service at 12:30 PM. Dr. Chris Terrell to officiate.

My husband and I asked Alexa to play a favorite song and Steve Terrel sang it and blew us away. We never heard of him before. We asked Alexa to play some more songs by him. We just love his singing. We wanted to know more about him and we´re so saddened to learn that he passed away a couple of days ago. We´re heartbroken. Such a terrible loss of a truly talented man.
