Ted 89480 your FEDEX badge number. Thats what we would say when called each other in 1990 Dallas TX. Hey, I still have that dining room table you gave me upon moving back to Memphis. Yep my heart breaks...86931 Lesa C

To Janice, Uncle Robert Blackmon and to the entire  Lanier family; the Gentry & Holmes families extend our sincere condolences to you. Ted was a blessing to me and to Aunt Marie who loved him dearly. Now they can walk around heaven together …as the sharpest dressed plp there. ❤️


Uncle Terry, my Memphis Trips will never be the same. You have played a MAJOR part in my life. My flesh is selfish and wish you were still here, but my spirit is rejoicing because you are resting in the masters arm. You will forever hold a place in my heart as you were very aware of that. 
Save me a spot!!
Your baby girl, Eboney 

Unk, you will be truly missed!! All the text we would send each other during church services laughing at people and different things going on. I’ll miss the fashion shows, when you told me “YOU GOT TO BRING IT” when you hit the stage. Just to hear your voice during the broadcast wouldn’t brighten anyone’s day. I’ll miss you forever.  I love you, REST IN LOVE, until we meet again.

Ted was cool as a cucumber and so funny! He kept me in stitches while working in the Billing Service Center at FedEx. I'm so sorry to hear that we've lost such a great guy. May God's love & the good memories give you peace. 

Terry, oh my, I shall never forget how professional he was at all times. We would laugh about everything and would pray the strength from God to our lives. 
I’m saddened to know of his home going but God has it all in control. I want to make sure that Rodney and the family are well. If I can be of help, please let me know. I will continue to pray for the family. 

MY brother  it's so hard to say GOODBYE  BUT I KNOW GOD WANTED YOU NOW. I KEEP YOU IN MY HEART ❤💙💜💖💗 ALWAYS I love you Terry

Our hearts are saddened by the passing of our brother and friend. Terry was one of a kind. So talented, helpful, thoughtful and giving. He left quite an impression on the Oak Grove Church family. Whether it was the voicemail recording on our office phone for years; or the strong voice for the intro of our church broadcast; or his commitment to the OG Music Ministry (especially the male chorus) He had a personality that made everyone smile. He was one of a kind. We thank God for his life, his laughter, and his legacy. We honor the memory of Terry Ted Lanier. He will truly be missed. Our sincere thoughts and prayers are extended to  his family and his close friends. May the Lord comfort, bless and keep each of you!
With our love and respect,
N. Russell & Sharon Heaston

My condolence and prayers are with the family!  We will miss his talent  and his annointed gifts from God he has given to the city of Memphis through radio, music , and professional gifts to us in Memphis!  

Thank you for your gifts to Jason Clark and The Tennessee Mass Choir and Derek and Tara Clark and Family and Friends!
We will miss you!


Ted my friend my brother! You will be missed by many as you were truly loved by us all. I know that you will be in the heavenly choir singing praises unto our LORD AND SAVIOR! I will cherish the times we were together at FedEx and the times we were at church with our mother’s, you’re now resting with them at the feet of our FATHER. Rest on and may your soul be at peace in JESUS NAME AMEN 🙏🏽 

My friend,  Terry,  you slipped away. I will miss our texts almost every day.  When one of us was lonely we texted it each name and that meant we needed to chat and fill a void. I will truly miss you. Rest. Until we meet again.
