June 4, 1985 - February 4, 2008
Love, Laughter, and Truth! Terrence Webster tragically passed away Monday, February
4, 2008. There are no words that can possibly express the loss everyone who knew
him now feels. His life was lived with absolutely unending passion. He was the center
of the universe for so many of us. At only 22 years of age, he had accomplished
more than many manage in an entire lifetime. He had been all over the U.S., Brazil
and Europe. He fought for the rights of everyone and was the most accepting person
any of us have ever known.
He could always be found willing to argue with the greatest of passion in defense
of any who had suffered injustice. While being a great debater, he was also the
best comedian any of us knew. He aspired to and achieved a Bill Hicks style of humor,
where he did not avoid controversy and said whatever his heart and mind desired.
He went from not knowing a thing about capoeira, a Brazilian martial art, to being
able to do acrobatics none of us could believe. He was a singer, a musician and
an incredibly talented player in the roda, all with the biggest smile on his face.
One word that remains on everyone's minds is "irreplaceable." It is an absolutely
apropos word.
Terrence was an incredible individual, one the world will never see the likes of
again. While we are all terribly saddened by this, we also must celebrate the greatness
of Terrence. The fact that he could make so many people heartbroken with his passion
just shows that he gave all those people so many moments of pure and intense happiness.
Terrence also excelled in academics and was awarded his B.A. in Visual
and Performing Arts-Film Studies posthumously from the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs.
Terrence will forever be cherished by his family. His parents, Penelope and Robert,
his brothers, Bryce, Jarvis and Joseph, and his nephew, Jarvis Jr. are all very
thankful for every moment they spent with him. Countless other friends, including
J.S. and Dan, are equally thankful for the time they had with him.
