It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Terell Da'chaon Blanks, also known as "Bixie", who left us far too soon at the age of 27 on July 12, 2024. Terell was a bright light in the lives of all who knew him and was known for his sense of humor and ability to make everyone laugh and smile.

Born on July 28, 1996, Terell was the cherished child of Arkelop Blanks and Torri Demus and affectionately raised by Phillip Jones. He was the beloved brother of Arkevia and Arianna Blanks.

Terell attended Steel Valley High School and later worked as a skilled laborer at MPW. Beyond his professional achievements, Terell enjoyed good music, writing lyrics, and hanging with friends. Terell was a person who loved to debate and have deep discussions with everyone. His love for music and sports, was only surpassed by the love he had for his family and friends.
