Deacon Terry Moneio McNealy, Sr. was born January 08, 1970, in Quincy, FL to the late Mr. Johnny B. McNealy and Mrs. Laura Bell Carter McNealy. He departed this life on Monday, December 18, 2023, at home, surrounded by his loving wife, children, siblings, and other family members.

He attended the public schools of Gadsden County. At an early age, he confessed Christ as his Lord and Savior. A talented singer, he used his voice to glorify the Lord.  On June 03, 2000, he married the love of his life, Mrs. Loretta Adams McNealy. Together, they unselfishly raised their devoted daughter and four, supportive sons. Allowing the Lord to guide him spiritually, he became a member of THEE Church of Jesus Christ, under the leadership of Pastors Curtis L. and Helen D. Graham. Sunday mornings were spent singing praises unto the Lord, as a member of the choir, praise and worship team, and later, Deacon.

Terry loved the Lord, his family, church family, friends, and Florida State University Football. Cooking was another favorite pastime of his. He was a skilled grill master, and everyone raved over his famous, fried chicken. Many gatherings with family and friends, were made possible with the love he poured into preparing food that soothe the soul.
