    I don’t even know what to say, my heart is heavy and I still can’t believe it. You helped me through so much and were the best life mentor I have had even after moving across the country. For you I will continue giving the same mentorship you’ve given me. I will never forget your jokes and the way you could easily bring life to the room. Please, rest easy. You deserve eternal happiness. See you on the other side.

    To say we went through a lot together would be an understatement. I don’t have the words to express my gratitude for the laughs, the cries, the brotherhood, and the many of life’s ups and down s that we took the same journey on. I can honestly say I could not have done it without you. I know where you are at and that does rest my mind a bit. Your LEGACY Is strongly intact. You have left an everlasting impression on so many people! Now you rest my brother and know that you were and are truly loved. My deepest condolences to the entire Sexton family.

    I was saddened to hear of Terry’s death. I know God welcomed him home with opened arms. The many times Terry was in to see me he always had a smile on his face and a kind word. It was evident he loved the Lord and he loved his family. My life is richer because I had the opportunity to have Terry cross my path. I pray for peace and comfort for you and your family.

      Terrance, you were an awesome big brother to me ever since we met at Word In Seasons. Working with you on the Praise & Worship team changed my life. You were always tough on me. Sometimes I guess I needed it. I will miss you and your jokes, your laughter and your conversation. God placed you in my life for a reason and I am glad he did. You will be missed greatly. Thank you for everything. Rest peacefully Big Brother.

      To Kim and the family, I send my love and my deepest condolences. I love you all and I pray that God gives you strength during this time.

    There are no words to express how Bobby and I feel right now. When God took you home he took a part of us with Him. But God knew what was best for you and will see us through. Football season will never be the same without you being my greatest rival. I love you Terrance. You will always be my brother. Fare well and following seas. To my sister Kimberly, you have always been my rock over our lifetime and now I pray I can be yours. May God continue to give you the strength you need in this time of loss.

    Terry Sexton, a father and great man, made a lasting impression on many lives. One can only inspire to touch as many lives as he did over his years on this earth. He never judged and always had a way to bring light to the darkest day no matter the situation, bringing smiles to everyone even on their worst days. A true ball buster, mentor, and teacher was never shy and said what was on his mind. Though, we may not have always seen eye to eye, he was a man to look up to and left a lasting impression not only in my life but many others. The lessons learned from this great man are some that will be carried throughout this life. There is power in the words “the good ones get taken to early” and this man was one. A quote he once stated by Rory Vader “Success is never owned, it is rented, and the rent is due everyday”. Truly inspired me and this man, whole heartedly lived by this code and made things happen everyday rain or shine. Even though he has moved on to a better place he will be missed dearly by family, friends, and the lives which he made lasting impression’s upon.
    ~Rest easy T you will be missed.
    My deepest condolence to the Sexton family.

      I still can’t thank you enough for all and I mean All you done. You were my mentor, brother, coach, and friend. When I was stationed in VA it was a clash with destiny and God used you to introduce so many world changing lifestyles, financially and most of all Spiritually. You talked me through so much and prayed with and for me. I can’t explain how it meant when you excepted me as family personal level. Even as I’m writing I remember the time God used you to stop me from walking away from my destiny. I pray you know that your life meant so much to so many. Your family will always be in my prayers and if I can, I will be there if needed.

    Mr. Terry. Thank you for all the corny dad jokes. Thank you for always making everybody laugh. Thank you for the fatherly advice when it was needed. Thank you for being selfless to people like myself and always being there for people when they needed help the most. You will be missed. You will be loved. I will always remember what you said to me before I left for Sicily with my husband, “I’m proud of you girl. But you need to make sure you’re out there singing for God because that’s your gift.” May you Rest In Peace with the Father. Make sure you stack up on the corny dad jokes because I’ll be expecting them when I get to the pearly gates one day!

    Love Always,
    The Chatman Family

    Terry was a big brother, friend, and mentor to me for over 21 years. To say that I will miss his unique perspective and advice is an understatement. I regret that I never got to say goodbye and feel incredibly sad that I only learned of his passing just now. I wish Terry’s family and friends peace during this difficult time.

    T was one of the funniest guys I ever met. A very resourceful person. He could make you laugh at the most serious situations. He was there for me when a lot of people turned their back on me. Always love you bro.
