Terrance Deese

A bright and shining star, beloved husband and father, and remarkable son, Terrance Dewayne Deese passed away, Tuesday, January 6, 2026. Surrounded by his loving family.

Born October 29, 1979, to Allen Deese, Jr. and Barbara Deese, Terry was destined for football from birth.  From Pop Warner at age nine, to Shaker High School where he played varsity for 4 years. Terry received numerous awards, medals, and trophies for his football talents on the field. He then went on to play for Hudson Valley Community College where he continued to excel in the game.  

There were only a few things Terry loved more than football, his family, friends, great food, community and laughter.  He was that guy with the big heart! Terry could find a silver lining in the darkest cloud and always had an encouraging word for anyone in need. 

Terry will live on in the hearts of his, wife, Amy Deese; his children, Ryley Deese, Jace Deese, Chris Debenedetto, Ciara Debenedetto, and Ryan Debenedetto; loving mother Barbara Deese; wonderful brother, Allen (Shannon) Deese, III; nephews Allen Deese IV, and Aiden Jack Deese.  Very special friends Lesley Ret, father figure Lewis Bryant, and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

He is predeceased in death by his father, the late Allen Deese, Jr.
