Cleveland Lost A Good One

Our community is heartbroken over the loss of a dear friend. He was killed in an auto accident last Friday. His Facebook page began receiving messages from his grieving friends and family immediately. Upon hearing the news, myself, I broke into tears. I couldn't believe he was gone, hoped it was a mistake. Terry will be missed so much, by so many people, because he was truly loved. He was so good-natured and he just made you feel good, too. We will never see his status update from the one he left when he had first began his final hunting trip with friends. It says it all, "laying in the motel in Kansas bout to go scout for some deer, September 19 at 2:27pm". I knew him from high school, but you only had to be "friends" with him online to know what a genuinely wonderful person he was. He loved his family, his friends, hunting...everything!, Alabama Crimson Tide football, and, I believe, he loved his job. He was lucky. He was a happy man, who embraced life. Death always puts things into perspective, but when you see someone who was so full of life's candle blow out, it's numbing. I will miss new profile pics of a smiling Terry, proudly holding up his latest kill. I only wish we would see a status update announcing where his train has taken him or details of his next big hunt.
