Terry graduated from Brookhaven High School in 1979 and later attended Ohio State and Ohio Dominican University. After the passing of his beloved mother, Terry relocated to Los Angeles, California, where he became a member of Living Praise Christian Center. After spending two years in LA, he decided to move to Atlanta, Georgia, to be closer to his sister. In Atlanta, Terry was a devoted member of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church in Marietta, Georgia, where he was actively involved in their choir.

Terry’s vibrant spirit, unforgettable persona, and joyful heart made him the life of every gathering. He was known for his warm and welcoming nature, never hesitating to greet and befriend strangers. His bond with his sister was filled with boundless love, shared jokes, and laughter.
