    What an immeasurably amazing life you all must have all had around him for all these years, treasure the memories, so glad yall were together and he was at peace. Hang in there, tell your family hello for me and my heart felt assurance he’s home and at rest.

    So sorry for your family’s loss. What a beautiful tribute. And while he was a great builder of homes, I think his best build was his family. Prayers for all.

    Oh my, Brent….if we could all only write our own earthly ending, it would be one just like your dad’s. Peace, calm, songs, longing, prayers, all bound in love with a spouse and children surrounding us. What a sweet journey you all provided your father — he was a wonderful, Godly man who shared so much with others! Love to you all!

    Thank you Brent for that lovely tribute. I love your parents, they are special people. My first thought after I read this is, now Terrel has a huge new group of people to tell his stories to!!. I know he will be missed. Gods peace and comfort to all the family now

    What a legacy he leaves. The lives of his children are a powerful witness to the goodness that resided in this man. What a blessing it must be to have him as your earthly father. My prayers are with you all as you make your way in this world without his steady presence, sense of humor and wisdom. May God bless you all with continual peace and light.

    It’s amazing how it’s that those who hope in the Lord leave us with a glimpse of that connection at their death. Thanks for this description of our father and brother’s forefront journey that we all have ahead of us. My love to you’ll!

    Beautifully said Brent. You’re all continuing on the road, without him, but he’s in your hearts, and it’s only for awhile till you all get to be together again. God rest his soul and give you all peace and comfort as you deal with your loss of sweet Terrel. With love and hugs, Ron & Marilyn

      I always would get a little more excited to see tarrel at a soccer game in BrokenArrow where we went to see a grandson play because it ment I was going to get to talk cars with a good buddy. I loved to but and sell cars as he did and rebuild wrecks. Once he asked me to come to work for him and manage a body shop in back of his car lot .In a way I wish that would have happened. Would have been great to have been with him.God bless BobS.

    Brent, in the year we were in the Dewey church family we were welcomed by your parents so many times. At Easter that year we were staying home and your mom said we shouldn’t be alone, we needed to come to your house. We always felt like family there and your family was so special to us. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers. We will all have a great time singing and having fun with your dad when we get to heaven!!

    Brent ~ Such a precious tribute for such an amazing man! I’m sure Terrel and Duane are having a Homebuilders meeting accompanied with a bowl of ice cream… or getting a Rook tournament started!!! So many fond memories of our two families joined together by faith and sweet life-long friendships!! Sending much love and many prayers for your entire family and all who loved him!!!

    I am saddened to hear of your families deep lose.
    I met you Father several times at Garnett Church and The Journey.
    I could tell by his eyes and grin that you guys were blessed. The evidence of his being was witnessed in the good heart of Greg.
    Isn’t it a comfort to know who we are, whose we are, and where we’re going?
