"For those of you who knew Terry, knew that if you ever needed anything, he would be there for you," they said in a post on their Facebook page. "Always kind-hearted and put others' needs ahead of his. [He] would never hesitate to donate to a good cause or take time out of his day to help a friend, family member, or an officer."

"Terry's passing will forever leave a hole in our hearts that will never be filled," the department said on Facebook. "His laugh, smile, and the way he would tell stories will be missed every single day. Walking into the station just doesn't feel the same. Terry will not be forgotten and his legacy will live on in all who have been a part of his life."
