When I first started going out to Arrowhead to cover the Chiefs, it was honestly kind of intimidating to be in these spaces with no one around you who looked like you. Terez took the time to show me the ropes. We really bonded over football and talking music.
When Danny left, Terez told me he had an offer from the competitor and he was thinking about taking it so I told him to give me a few days. I convinced management of Terez's value and he told me he'd always be on 610 as long as I was still there.
If I had a journalism question, Terez would always answer it. If I just wanted to throw out a random "Should Player X make the HOF" scenario, we'd always argue it. Terez really wanted to see me do well and succeed and it meant a lot to me on a personal level.
What we should take away from Terez's life is how important it is to love what you do and have a passion so strong that others see. it. Terez really loved football and really loved people. He was a great person. I'm glad I got to know him so well.
