Thank you everyone for your kind words. Terrell was my older brother. He is surely missed. The weight of our grief is the love we still have for him that can’t be expressed.  I’m so glad his legacy will live on in such a wonderful community.

I’m saddened by this news. I never met him in person but I have two kits made by him. They have now become more precious to me. Terrell was the type of guy that did things the right way. He was a well respected prop maker. His presence will be missed.

So many sets of his armor in the Legion will be his legacy forever.  Every year the Midwest Garrison held a charity auction and Terrell never thought twice to donate the parts for a helmet.  A great trooper.....a greater human.

Thought you all would like this.

As we all know, Terrell Reber (owner of ATA) and his wife, Traci, lost their battle with Covid last year, leaving behind a 16 year old son. A year ago this weekend, Terrell started thinking of coming out of retirement when he found out a mutual friend of ours has been hosting immersive Star Wars themed fundraisers since 2015. Sadly, he never got that chance, as he passed a few weeks later. Today, their son, Tyler, suited up in his dad’s armor and took his dad’s place trooping with the Great Lakes Garrison at this year’s fundraiser.

Why isn’t this on the national news, what a great story. Good kid who apparently had great people to learn from. Such a good way to honor him.

For sure!   What a fantastic father-son connection and a way to honor his legacy.  This should be broadcast more widely.  Maybe talk to the Legion PRO?
