Always greeted me “Hello Friend”!
As I pass through the veil, I look forward to hearing that greeting!

We are so sorry for your loss and words can’t really express what I feel about Terry. The world has lost someone special. Terry was one of the first friends I made at Northlake before Chiropractic school. When we first met we immediately became friends.  I almost  sent him a message the other night to continue a conversation we were having a few weeks ago and then I realized he wouldn’t answer me... at least not yet. I know when my time comes Terry will be waiting at the pearly gates with a Dr Pepper and a box of cookies. He will probably be there showing Rodney Dangerfield his imitation. Unlike Rodney .......Terry always had everyone’s respect. God bless you my friend and I’ll see you when I’m 105 years old.

Dear Nancy and Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We will always remember the little boy, then young gentleman next door. Love Kenneth and Camille and Family

I'm so sorry to hear about Terry. The little I knew of him was all about his big heart, sense of humor and the love he had for his family, especially his beautiful wife. 

I'm very sorry to hear about the passing of Terry.  I will miss his uplifting spirit and attitude during his difficult time.  He was our shining star who endured and embraced his suffering with patience and grace.  We will continue praying to God the source of all comfort to reach out in His special and unique way to you personally and the entire family during this difficult time.
Best Regards,
Mounir Mekhail

He had this great laugh that made you laugh and a ready ear to ear smile.  Proof that the good guy is a real person...  

I  remember meeting Terry for the first time during the mid 2000's when Atrium Chiropractor was in the Atrium building.   Terry met friends, never strangers.   We talked about family,  life and clients/patients.   Even though I moved on in my legal career Terry and I remained friends.   I will miss his stories told with such pride about his sons, his daughter and his granddaughter.   He loved his family.   I will miss his ready smile and soft spoken words.  Rest well my friend.   God has done what no doctor could....he took away your pain.  

My thoughts and prayers go out to Nancy and the kids.  I remember going to Texas as a little girl with my grandparents,  seeing Terry was always one of the highlights of my trip.  My dad always spoke about Terry and memories of him when he was a child. I will never forget the comfort he brought my dad on the phone just a few days before his passing.  I am so Thankful that him and Nancy took the time to come see me the one time I have been able to make it to Texas as an adult.  You would have never known being around him that he was fighting such a battle, he was so kind and graceful.  My grandpa Jetton was the same way.  You will be forever missed! 

It is with a sad heart that the end of Terry’s life on earth has come; but joy fills my soul knowing that his heavenly life has began. He was a true inspiration to all who knew him. I remember when he was born and I spent some time helping Aunt Jessie care for him. We were always surrounded with love from our family and I know that he is enjoying being with all that went before him in heaven now. God bless Nancy and his children. Gone but not forgotten. Love always, Donna Jetton Thorn


Terry never passed me at church  without a giant genuine smile on his face. He ALWAYS had something kind to say and made you feel like you were the most important thing in that moment.
Although he wasn’t family, he darn well made you feel like it!   The world lost a gem, but gained a giant of a spirit. 

The Young family is eternally grateful for knowing Terry!

Nancy and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. I cannot find the words to begin to express what to say.  When I was about 55 - if I never saw that "ad" about Laser - fingernail treatment, I would not have been able to get to know Terry.  After following directions to the address of the clinic, I found out my cousin Terry owned it and that we WERE cousins.  I went many times for treatment.  Later,  I used to meet Terry at Rosas Cafe and we would talk about our relatives and relationships over lunch.  I found out then what an awesome person he is.  It wasn't long before I felt like I knew him all my life. It just occurred to me that I  had a strong urge to go to Rosas this past Tuesday(yesterday) and I did.  My Cousin Tammy called me this morning with the sad news.  I'll always think of Terry when I go to Rosas Cafe.  Terry - THANK YOU for all of the photos...Nancy and family - I pray you find some Comfort and rest.

I'm sending my Love to you and your family, 
Cousin Mike

Thank you Terry for being my friend and for inspiring me as you pressed forward in faith! Love you my friend!
Dave
