OMG what terrible news.

I heard of the news this weekend and am very sorry that we all lost a tremendous individual! I was just sitting around the campfire at Miguels a few weeks ago drinking beers and sharing stories with Terry. Puts life into perspective! He will be missed! I hope he is route setting up there in the big, blue sky so we can climb some lines together when our time comes! Rest in peace Terry!

i think everyone who had an opportunity to climb or spend time with Terry is going to have their own special memory of him and what he did for them. I remember working Too Many Puppies with Terry one day and the conversations we had. It's been a while since I've been able to spend time in the Red but I always thought that during my next trip I'd see all my old friends down there. I'll be visiting Terry everytime I step onto one of his routes or when I visit a place we climbed together. I just can't believe it...

Terry's loss is terrrible, it was only a few weeks ago we shared idle chit chat about nothing worth remembering and now he's gone. I, as everyone who knew Terry, will miss him greatly, he was one of the most colorful characters I ever met in the Gorge....Thanks for everything Terry, bios con dios my Brother!!!!!!!!!

Terry's service will be at Cox Funeral Home in Mount Vernon at 10 am Wednesday. His ashes will be scattered in the gorge afterwards (Sky Bridge), probably around 1 pm (the time is a bit hazy due to the drive from Mt. Vernon).

We will miss you Terry, no one showed more love for climbing.

Peace be with you.

Ken

I can't believe it. I miss him already too.
RIP

im never sure of what i think but this i know. Nobody did it as good as Terry, he never would let me forget that. Nobody could get under my skin quite the way he did, but we both loved every minute of it. Very few people could teach me more on life or simply how i was going thru mine. He taught me about trust, patience, trying, and the "Easy" way to do things. He was one (of the many) that i looked forward to seeing every weekend and at odd times. And he was like a father i never got to have.

The King of the Gumby Killers is gone. The torch cannot be passed. It is up to every one of us, to start a little flame.

Terry, you were one in a million and i am sad that you are gone. Please don't tell god he's doing things like a total gumby. he may not like that.

Sorry to be so far from those that i love in these times. All of you please be strong. I will be home when i can

Loss like this is so sad, and seemingly unnecessary. I just saw Terry and Jacob a week or two ago at Starbucks in Chevy Chase and now I'll never see him again, feels strange and wrong The Red will not be the same without him.
