He was known for a lot of things but to really get to know him here are some words from his Father, Mother, Older brother, and a close friend.
"I dont even know how to put this into words how do you say goodbye to your son I was there when u was born I was there when u took your first steps I was there when u graduated and I was there when u became a father losing you is losing a part of myself words cant describe how much I love u Ill always feel empty with u gone you my heart and I'll make sure u are laid to rest respectfully Ill love an miss u till the death of me Terrell Ill never be whole without you we will b together again one day I cant say enough I love u with all my heart." - Kenneth D Alves
"In life, we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place, no one else will ever fill." When I read this quote I thought of you but it only sums up a little of how I feel about you, watching you grow into the man you were today has been some of the best years of my life, you made me a grandmother and gave me my first granddaughter and grandson which is a blessing that will live on through them. I remember your first haircut when you were about nine. I tried to talk you out of it but you had your mind set when they cut your hair off. I cried like a baby. Youll forever be with me. I love you so much. Losing you took a piece of me, rest easy baby and know your mom loves you." - Tanika Mclain.
"You were more than family, you were solid to the core.
You always had everyones back. No hesitation. No fake love. You showed up, looked out, and made sure the people around you were straight, even if it cost you. You never backed down, and they knew better than to test you. But behind all that toughness was your smile, your humor, those wild football practice memories, boxing gloves on, jokes flying, and deep talks that hit the soul." - Nicholas lemmer
"To my lil brother Terrell I love you too death u made me an older brother and a uncle I'll never forget you. You were my first best friend even though we went back and forth the most u will always be with us no matter what bro I'm glad our last moments were the best" - Kenneth McLain, Jr.
