Terrence Alexander II, age 9, was called home to be with the Lord after a courageous battle with cancer. He passed away surrounded by love and embraced by God’s eternal peace.
Terrence was a precious child of God, a bright and joyful soul whose smile could light up any room. He loved SpongeBob Square Pants, and his laughter brought joy to everyone around him. Through his life, Terrence reflected innocence, love, and the beauty of a pure heart.
Though young in years, Terrence showed extraordinary strength and faith. His journey was a testimony of courage, and his life was a reminder that God’s love shines even in the hardest moments. The family takes comfort in knowing that Terrence is now healed, whole, and rejoicing in heaven.
Terrence was preceded in death by his grandfather’s Charles Harris and Edward Harrington Jr, Aunt Christina Harrington Kirksey and great grandmother Laura Skillern.

“Let the little children come to Me,”
Jesus said, “for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Terrence now rests in the arms of Jesus, free from pain, surrounded by perfect peace. Though he will be deeply missed on earth, his life has left an eternal impact. We rejoice in the promise that we will see him again.
