Our family has been absolutely devastated by the recent and senseless murder of a man that was a beloved father, son, and brother to us. Terrance Patrick -- known to us, the family, as Teddy -- loved his children and the joys of fatherhood more than anything. He was a man with a fun-loving and kind spirit that will be missed deeply.

On October 5th, 2024, while entering the parking lot of St John Bosco High School in Bellflower, CA to attend his 7 year-old son's youth football game, Teddy was shot multiple times and killed. He was only 29 years old. As anyone could imagine this has rocked our family, leaving us with so much pain, grief, confusion, and so many unanswered questions. We have no idea what could have motivated anyone to kill in such cold blood. His death has left a mother and father without their son, siblings without their brother, and most tragic of all two young children without a loving dad to raise them.

At this moment we are looking to honor Terrance with a proper funeral and burial. We are asking for assistance as these services can be very costly, and the money for them very difficult to come up with in such an abrupt and unexpected event. Any and all donations are extremely helpful to our family, and would be very much appreciated. We are grateful for the support of our loved ones and the solidarity from our community in these trying times. Thank you all

Rest in eternal peace Terrance "Teddy" Patrick
