The passing of Will Terrell has left Memphis, Tennessee grieving a man whose spirit could fill a room with comfort and familiarity. Will lived his life in a way that made people feel grounded—steady, safe, and understood. Friends describe him as someone whose presence felt like home, someone whose old-soul gentleness made even the hardest days feel manageable. At the center of his world was his family, and nothing brought him more pride than being a father to his son, William “Liam” Roger Terrell IV. The love he carried for his family guided every choice he made, shaping a life defined by loyalty, devotion, and genuine care for the people he held close.
A Passionate Outdoorsman With a Heart for Adventure
Will’s love for the outdoors wasn’t just a pastime—it was an identity. Fishing, hunting, and spending quiet time in nature brought him a joy that nothing else could match. He wasn’t just enthusiastic; he was exceptional, winning a BFL Regional Tournament and competing in the prestigious BFL All-American. These achievements were more than accomplishments—they were reflections of his dedication, patience, and deep connection to the natural world. Outside of fishing and hunting, Will enjoyed golf and immersed himself in music, a passion he carried proudly from his grandfather’s influence. Whether he was casting a line at sunrise or listening to old records, he lived each moment with sincerity and gratitude. His strong faith guided the rhythm of his life, providing him with a steady compass and shaping a spirit that was both humble and generous.
A Legacy of Integrity, Craft, and Selflessness
Beyond his personal passions, Will built a professional legacy marked by consistency, skill, and heart. He spent many years working alongside his father at Tan-n-Go Inc., where he learned the value of hard work and reliability. Later, he brought his craftsmanship and dedication to BT Renovations, earning admiration for the integrity he brought to every project. Will didn’t just work with his hands—he worked with care, ensuring each task reflected both quality and character. One of the most profound reflections of who he was lies in his decision to be an organ donor, a final act of generosity that mirrors the selflessness he carried throughout his life. His impact continues in the lives he saved, the lessons he taught, and the countless people forever shaped by his kindness.
