Terry Wayne Zehl Jr. (“TJ”), age 38, passed away suddenly on Saturday, September 29, 2012. He was born on May 8, 1974 in Elizabeth, New Jersey. TJ grew up between New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Florida. Eight months ago he moved across country to Utah with his fiancé Robin and her son Garrett to be closer to his big sister Kristie. He loved drawing, poker, computer games, and watching his step-son, nieces and nephews play ball and race BMX. Above all else, TJ enjoyed being with family, often being heard saying “Family is Forever”.

He is survived by a large loving family – his daughter Dystany Rachelle Humphery, her wife Alicia and their daughter Jasmyn Bravo of Florida; his father Terry W. Zehl Sr. and step-mom Michele of New Jersey; his mother Michele Calavano Eagen and step-father Mike of Florida; his sister Kristie Zehl Walters, her husband Dan and their son Brandon, daughter Cassie Walters Franks and her husband Will of Utah; his sister Lisa Zehl Langlois, her husband Joey and their children Tyler, Conner, Hunter and Sara of New Jersey; his brother Michael Zehl, his wife Linda and their son Matthew of New York; his sisters Davene and Michele Duncan of Florida; his fiancé Robin Davidson and step-son Garrett of Utah; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
