I was very sad to hear of the passing of Ter. I had the privilege of working with this affable young man while coaching basketball at Crocus Plains High School in Brandon some years ago. Like all his endeavours Ter always did his very best and always put his team first. 
Although I will not be able to attend the service I will fondly be remembering the joy and effort he put forth all the time. My deepest condolences to his family.

I worked with Ter at Sunset Thermographers.  I took over his position as he moved into another one.  He was a good teacher.  I was honored  when I was invited to attend his wedding. He was a very easy going person.  I met up with him a few years later when we both worked at the Canada Revenue Agency.  He was still the same person I remembered.  My condolences to his family.

Ter,

Thank you so much for your friendship over these +20 years.  Im going to miss you dearly my good friend.  I will miss our conversations and your enthusiasm.  Thank you for the saturday morning workouts and continually running laps around me at the Y.  Your passion for running and biking made you a one of a kind!  We had plenty of fun at socials and you made work a blast.  I can still remember us working evenings and the buffet runs with the data group.  You were always willing to help anyone with home renos and you were always the first one on site and the last one to leave.  Thank you for you help on my fence (multiple times lol) and most recently in 2020 with your classic red shorts.  We spent 1.50 hours trying to remove the stuck auger bit!  

Thank you so much for your friendship and the fun memories throughout the years..  I  will never forget you Ter.

Sincere condolences on the loss of our dear friend, brother, and work colleague Ter.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your loved ones as they mourn.

People like Ter don't come into one's life often, as he was truly someone who makes you reflect on who you are as a person and how you're showing up for others around you.  Ter modelled kindness, empathy, acceptance, and non-judgment for the rest of us. I remember working in the office together, he was always someone we could count on for a kind smile and some comic relief during a hectic day; he didn't seem to sweat the small stuff.  Ter was truly a special person and I would like to extend my sincere condolences to his family.

I have very fond memories of Ter from our times working together around 2004-2006. He approached his job with the highest degree of professionalism, but was never afraid to laugh with friends and colleagues, and he always had a smile for everyone. Rest in peace, Ter. You will be dearly missed. My deepest condolences to the family.

I worked with Ter way back at SunSet thermographers, he was the life of any event. A regular day at work was more fun with Ter around.  He loved competition and loved to win ;)   He was caring, passionate about life, he said there is no point worrying about cancer until someone tells me to worry, but even then he was positive .  This world will not be the same without you in it,   Your love for cooking and eating food,  your clothing choices to be dressed for each occasion.. golf… halloween..  or construction you were always fun.  I hope you’re biking, running and bringing laughter where ever you are now.    - miss you. Trish.

Ter was the life of any gathering. He lit the room with his funny sense of humor. His outgoing nature drew many friends. He was a good good friend to all. He was a family man. He was humble. He was strong and he fought the good fight. I can go on and on. 
There is now a huge  void in all the lives he touched with his unwavering friendship.  Thank you Ter for your unwavering friendship. I will cherish our heart to heart talks, our fun banter, and most of all your friendship. We miss you Ter! I know you are resting easy!
Muna and Aiden (family) prayers for you as you navigate the loss of a wonderful husband and father.

Ter was always so positive and a joy to talk to.  He  made you feel good and welcomed at all times.  My condolences to his family. I will miss him.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. My condolences to Ter's family. Ter was such an amazing person.  You could never be in a bad mood around him. Rest in peace bud.

Ter will be missed greatly.  He was a hard working and caring person.  I always enjoyed our conversations about Laos and travel through South East Asia.  My condolences to his family....Doug McLean, former Director, Winnipeg Tax Seevices Office.

Ter is the funniest, most generous and kind hearted person I have ever known. He saved my butt on a food day downtown when I was sick the day before and forgot to bring in a dish to share. Another time when I clumsily tripped and landed on my lunch, he gave me a shirt to wear so I wouldn't be embarrassed or have to go back home. He was one of very few people that ever showed my husband the respect he deserved. He made me laugh every single time I saw him or spoke with him. It saddens me deeply that he is gone...but it makes me smile as I imagine him playing the back nine with Buddha in one of his famous outfits! I will miss you so much!!! 

My heart truly goes out to your family Ter! We were all blessed to have you while we did.

I worked with Ter at Canada Revenue Agency a number of years ago. I found him to be wonderful and kind person.  He was very knowledgeable in his jobs there and always willing share it with his co-workers.    I remember most about him was his happy outgoing nature.  Sending prayers and hugs to Ter's family and friends.

Mickey Mouse costume at Halloween; biking to work in January; defying IT to catch him tapping into the system to get the perfect presentation. Ter and Karan, the dynamic duo!   Always a smile and never known to say no.  He was simply the best. 
Gonna miss you, buddy!

Truly a rare human. Kind...funny...humble...and you were truly lucky to know him. 
Everytime you had a conversation with Ter, you left laughing and feeling great. He was truly one of a kind.

Words fail to express the depth of sorrow I feel upon hearing about Ter's passing.

My heart goes out to his family & friends during this incredibly difficult time. I've known Ter from the moment he came home with my brother, and he quickly became more than just a friend; he became an integral part of our family. 

I know we lost contact in our adult years, but Ter's presence in our lives brought joy and warmth, and his compassionate and thoughtful nature left an indelible mark on everyone he met. 

He approached everything he did with conviction and sincerity, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and integrity. 

Rest in peace, Ter. Your memory will live on forever in our hearts, and you will never be forgotten.

My Heart goes out too the family. I'm at a loss for words. I new Ter from a very young age, as we where childhood friends.  

He was a a compassionate  and thoughtful person. Had conviction for everything he did. 

Rest In Piece Ter, you'll never be forgotten.
