We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend and beloved Mr. Terry who passed away surrounded by family yesterday, October 26th. Mr. Terry was originally hospitalized due to complications of cancer and was fighting an impossible battle. This is an incredible loss to everyone and to the Sarah Smith Community, as he was the heart and soul of that school for over 10 years. In addition to his time of service around the hallways and classrooms, he was someone that we all felt deeply connected to.  He was a fixture at school events and always accepted the opportunity to cheer on our children during his free time at their sporting events.  He was also famous for his bear hugs which he gave out willingly to anyone in passing.


Sarah Smith has a team  working on ways to honor his legacy and they are finalizing an online memorial to offer condolences to the family and celebrate his impactful life.

At this time, the family is asking for privacy as they process his recent death.  When they share additional information we will post those details.

There are people who are put on this earth for the sole purpose of serving ones community and bringing joy to everyone in passing. Mr. Terry was truly one of those angels on earth and now in heaven. We love you and we miss you.
