Anyone who had the pleasure of meeting Terrence knew his energy was infectious. You could meet him one day and the next he’d feel like an old friend you’d known for years. When he loved, he loved hard, and he would give you the shirt off his back if it came down to it. Terrence did any and everything for his family. Among other things, Terrence was a self-taught tattoo artist. He had a passion for tattooing that was unmatched and his passion showed through his amazing art. His spirit will live on through the art that he loved so much.

In lieu of a traditional service, a balloon release will be held in honor of Terrence on Friday, April 28^th. Details to follow.
