Beloved father, brother, son and grandpa. He was born in Tuba City, Arizona on May 15, 1980. His family moved to Montana when he was just a toddler which was Terrance's official start at being a cowboy.

 He was about 8 years old when he was taught about horses, hunting and fishing from his father and  grandfather. As he grew up on the lands of Montana, his skill set expanded to breaking horses, driving and harvesting big game and fish.

When Terrance was about 14 years old, his family moved to Iowa where he began to absorb life in the city. He joined the football team in 8th grade and was given the name "Bear" due to his stature.

As he got older and his driving skills matured, he enjoyed cruising around Sioux City while listening to music. He owned a Monte Carlo, Buick Regal and a Cutless Supreme during his teenage years. He enjoyed cruises with his uncle Harold during snowy and rainy weather so they could "drift".

Terrance was about 17 years old when he met his kids mother, Leslie and they share 3 sons; Terrance Jr, Anthony and Nathaniel Bear Comes Out. During the years he partnered with Leslie, he supported his family through roofing. Later in life, he partnered with his youngest sons mother, Rosa after which she gave birth to son Jacob Lincoln.

During his lifespan, his roofing career lasted about 25 years. He began his trade work employment at a young age. Even after his diagnosis in 2019, he did his best to keep up with the work style. He was proud of his work and he did it very well.

He continued to go fishing in his later years and loved eating fried catfish. Everyone knew he was a big foodie and that he was a grill master, a skill his oldest son inherited. He valued family time and enjoyed family cookouts. 

Terrance bonded with his nieces and nephews, shared many laughs with his siblings and held dear memories of his parents and his Montana days.

Terrance is survived by his sons, Terrance Jr, Anthony, Nathaniel Bear Comes Out and Jacob Lincoln; siblings, Veronica, Emerlynne, Emery, Brenda and Robert Bear Comes Out; aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, and nieces.
