We only had the privilege of knowing Terry for 7 short years, but in those short years we grew to Love Terry very much. He was a big man with a heart just as big.. he lived to help other people. I could always depend on Terry to do anything I ask him to do. And he would thank me for asking. Terry made my Stephanie very happy and Loved. Terry are so missed and you will always be in my heart. Love and Miss You.

W are saying our final goodbyes to you today I’ve never experienced anything so difficult in my life. I don’t know how we can accept that we’ll never see you again. They say time with Gods help will make this easier, but honestly Son right now I’m not so sure of that. I find comfort from yesterday’s services in Baytown. There were so many people who came to say goodbye to you I think it may have been standing room only. I’ve always known what an amazing person you are, but it was nice to see that you touched so many lives during your time here with us. I’ve got to go for now, people are arriving. I love you baby ❤️

I met Terry in Oct 2007 when I began working at Rio. I had never met a big guy with so much energy until I met Terry. This guy was loud, funny, a trash talker and after a while it was annoying. Then we found out that we both were Marines! And it all made sense to me the way he was. And we've been friends ever since. He had so much PRIDE in being a Marine and it showed! It hurts to know I lost a Marine brother and friend. I pray for his wife and sons. He was one of a kind and he'll be missed by many! Semper Fi.

I will carry many good (and wild) memories of Terry from our younger days, and then meeting back up at school functions for our sons when we got a little older. I can't imagine the loss this family is feeling, but know you are all in our prayers. Rest easy, old friend.

Never ever will you be forgotten although all our hearts are broken! We know you went straight to Heaven to look down on all of us. We will all miss your calls and the outlooks on life we all shared with you. You and I were more than just cousins we was friends, family, and co-workers and even room mates at one time. I’ve known you as Little Jim, Jimmy, and Terry thru ever part of our life’s. Little Jim I can honestly say I love you and will miss our talks of everything under the sun from family, politics, Relationships, Religion, and work. We shared so much together as family and friends you will be missed by so many in so many ways. There is simply just not enough I can say about what you meant to me in so many ways. No words could ever fill the void I have loosing you Cuz. I can just pray comfort for Stephanie, the boys, our family and all the friends I know you’ve made though the years and everyone you ever might because just knowing you brings a smile to everyone. I LOVE U Jimmy and will see you in Heaven with all our Family and friends someday and plan on that great big Teddy Bear Hug when I do.

My family has been devastated by the loss of Terry Dyke (Jimmy), my eldest son. At this time it seems impossible that the phone is never going to ring again with my boy on the other end of the line saying “Pops (you won’t believe this!) , (you’ve got to see my new gun!) , ( don’t tell mom but I’m coming up to surprise her for a visit) and Pops, I found the woman I want to grow old with. You’ve got to meet her. I’m going to ask her to marry me. She’s awesome.
Terry’s (Jim Bo’s) determination, focus and self drive showed in whatever job or activity he applied himself to. But, bar none he was the most big hearted father, son and husband I have ever seen. FAMILY ALWAYS CAME FIRST!
I know we will be together again and he will have a spot already scouted out for hunting and fishing.
I miss you Son. I love you Son.

Terry - you will be missed more than you know. You are an amazing volunteer always ready to do what was necessary. I love that you challenged yourself which inspired the team. Your influence and impact to the Gulf Coast committee will be felt for years...the simple introduction of a cause you believed in and shared with others will live on at each event and I know you will be with us in spirit...for that I am beyond grateful.
The word joy comes to mind when I think of you...I suspect you had good days and bad days like the rest of us but all I ever saw was pure joy in living, in loving (Stephanie is blessed) and giving back...what a legacy to leave and a goal for others to aspire to. Thank you for being a part of our team and our lives...your joy will be a part of everyone you touched and a part of our committe and Friends forever!

I just can't believe it, my brother. Gone too soon.... Although you and I were not as close as some of your other friends, just know that you are definitely a person who left an impression in my life that I will be forever grateful. Your smile and laugh and the zeal for life will always have me striving to live life to the fullest as you did. Like all of whom that you shared your life with, I'll miss you, Terry.
Just know that you leave an awesome legacy with your friends, one that we all hope and wish to leave ourselves. Love you , brother and may peace be with you and your loved ones. MK

I will always remember how kind & hospitable he was to me. During Harvey he was waiting at the front of my neighborhood to pick up me, Carley, & Lily. He didn’t hesitate to let us come stay with y’all until I could gather myself from the flood. He was always there to help out wherever help was needed. His great big hugs were always so strong & genuine. He sure was one of the good ones taken too soon.

Jimmy is my baby boy. I will forever have a hole in my heart because of this unnecessary tragedy. This horrible coronavirus has taken away a wonderful son, husband, father, cousin. friend, co-worker. I could go on forever with the list of people Jimmy touched in his life. He was always such a happy man. He loved Stephanie and his boys so much. We have lost an amazing productive man who would always lend a helping hand to anyone in need. I can’t believe I’ll never hear his voice again or see that big grin.
I love you son. I’ll forever treasure the time we had with you.
