St. George, Utah – Gregory Robert Terrill was born on November 1966 in Riverside, California, the third son of Robert and Patricia Terrill. He joined a family which grew to eleven children, Monica, Art, Jeff, Patty, Greg, Diana, Becca, Jennifer, Debbie, Chris and Katie.  He was raised in Southern California. He loved growing up in a large family, and in later years told friends that he had grown up in Mayberry, USA. After graduation from high school, he went to work for his father until his mission call to the Mexico Guadalajara Mission. Here he gained his love of missionary work, Mexico and of its people.

He was a wonderful missionary. His mission president told him, "Elder Terrill, I knew you would lead the mission, I just didn't know which way you would lead my mission." Greg excelled as a missionary, though, and served in many leadership positions. Blessed with the gift of tongues, he maintained and increased his Spanish vocabulary the remainder of his life, continuing to study the scriptures in Spanish. On his mission he gained a companion who became a lifelong friend and 'brother' to him, Isaac Cruz.

Shortly after completing his mission, he married Colleen Linnemeyer in the Los Angeles Temple, although the marriage later ended in divorce. To that marriage, five children were born, whom he dearly loved: Jessica, Warner, Andrew, Garrett, and Dallin.  Greg also loved and fostered his nephew, David Terrill, and many others.

He graduated from UTI in Arizona and worked for a number of years in Southern California and in Colorado. While in Colorado, he had the blessing of serving as a temple worker. He worked as a heating and air-conditioning contractor there, creating a prosperous business which he relinquished to return to St. George and help his ailing father with his business.

For over ten years he suffered the results of an injury received during surgery before it was surgically corrected. He also suffered from a work-related back injury which caused years of suffering and resulted in an overdependence on pain meds which led to some challenges and struggles. His strong belief in the Savior, and in His atoning and enabling grace helped Greg recover and become a stronger and better man than he had ever been before. Suffering also with severe depression, he was able to overcome it as well, with the help of the Savior. He became an optimist even in the midst of his worst trials and turned to serving others. He also was blessed to feel complete forgiveness of others and would not take offence. He worked to repair offences that he had given. His healing through the Savior's love enabled him to become the best that he had ever been. We are eternally grateful for his great spirit and attitude which became one of overwhelmingly love and service.

Two years ago, he met a wonderful woman online, and after a year of friendship, he married Vanessa Ramos Barrera on 14 May 2021 in Jesús María, Aguascalientes, Mexico. He inherited another son, Nefi, whom he loved when he married Vanessa. The cancellations/clearances of their previous sealings were granted several days before his death, although they had not yet been received. He and Vanessa will be sealed for time and eternity in the Cedar City Temple on August 2, 2022.

Greg loved to teach the gospel with the missionaries and loved to cook and have them to dinner often in Arizona and in Mexico.

His son, Warner, said that even at the peril of his life, and no matter in what state his dad might find himself, he knew that his father would never deny his faith in Jesus Christ.

Greg's sister, Diana, wrote the following of him: "I loved Greg's testimony, his spiritual sensitivity, his sense of humor, his love of sacred and holy things, his love of family, but especially his love of Jesus Christ. He had a testimony of the Savior's atonement, of Joseph Smith, and of the restoration of the gospel. He rejoiced when he was able to use the power of the priesthood to bless family members. He knew the Book of Mormon was true and often quoted passages and related them to his day-to-day experiences. He loved the power the Book of Mormon brought into his life. He also cherished the experiences we shared as a family as we were raised with family scripture study. He tried to share that testimony of the scriptures and of his faith with his children."

At his death he had never been happier and had said many times that he was grateful that he was right with the Lord, and that he was blessed with such an uplifting and inspiring wife.

Greg is survived by his wife, Vanessa, his children, Jessica, Warner, Garrett and Dallin, his stepson, Nefi, his mother, Patricia, and his siblings, Monica, Jeffrey, Patricia, Diana, Rebecca, Jennifer, Deborah, Christopher, and Katherine. He was predeceased in death by his father Robert, his son Andrew, and his brother, Arthur.

As a family, we are grateful for Greg's life and for the things that he taught us. His sister, Jennifer, said of him, "I stand in awe of his strength, testimony and determination in becoming a new man."

Last of all, his sister, Becca quoted this scripture which reminded her of him:

"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7

God be with you 'til we meet again, Greg.

St. George, Utah – Gregory Robert Terrill nació el 6 de noviembre de 1966 en Riverside, California, de Robert y Patricia Terrill, uniéndose a una familia que creció hasta incluir once hijos, Monica, Art, Jeff, Patty, Greg, Diana, Rebeca, Jennifer, Debbie, Chris y Katie. Se crió en el sur de California y se graduó de la escuela secundaria Yucaipa. Después de graduarse, se fue a trabajar para su padre hasta su llamamiento misional a la Misión México Guadalajara. Aquí ganó su amor por la obra misional y por el pueblo hispano.

Fue un maravilloso misionero. Su presidente de misión le dijo: "Élder Terrill, sabía que usted dirigiría la misión, pero no sabía de qué manera dirigiría mi misión". Greg no le falló y sirvió como líder. Bendecido con el don de lenguas, mantuvo y aumentó su vocabulario en español el resto de su vida. Continuó estudiando las Escrituras en español. En su misión ganó un compañero que se convirtió en su amigo y "hermano" de por vida, Isaac Cruz.

Poco después de completar su misión, se casó con Colleen Linnemeyer en el Templo de Los Ángeles, aunque el matrimonio más tarde terminó en divorcio. De ese matrimonio nacieron cinco hijos, a quienes amaba profundamente: Jessica, Warner, Andrew, Garrett y Dallin. Greg también amó y crió a su sobrino, David Terrill, y muchos otros.

Greg se graduó de UTI en Arizona y trabajó durante algunos años en el sur de California y en Colorado. Mientras estuvo en Colorado, sirvió como obrero del templo. Él] trabajó como contratista de calefacción y aire acondicionado, creando un próspero negocio en Colorado al que renunció para regresar a St. George y ayudar a su padre enfermo en su propio negocio.

También sufrió una lesión en la espalda relacionada con el trabajo que causó años de sufrimiento y resultó en una dependencia excesiva de los medicamentos para el dolor que lo llevó a algunos desafíos y luchas.. Su firme creencia en el Salvador y en Su gracia expiatoria y capacitadora ayudó a Greg a recuperarse y convertirse en un hombre más fuerte y mejor que nunca. Sufriendo también de una depresión severa, pudo superarla también con la ayuda del Salvador. También tuvo la bendición de sentir el perdón completo de los demás y no se ofendería. Trabajó para reparar las ofensas que había cometido.  Su sanidad por medio del amor del Salvador le permitió llegar a ser lo mejor que jamás había sido. Estamos eternamente agradecidos por su regreso, su gran espíritu y actitud que se convirtió en uno de amor y servicio abrumador.

Hace dos años conoció a una mujer maravillosa en línea, y después de un año de amistad se casó con Vanessa Ramos Barrera el 14 de mayo de 2021 en Jesús María, Aguascalientes, México. Heredó otro hijo, Nefi, a quien amaba, cuando se casó con Vanessa. Las cancelaciones/aclaraciones de sus anteriores sellamientos fueron concedidas varios días antes de su muerte, aunque aún no habían sido recibidas. Él y Vanessa serán sellados por el tiempo y por toda la eternidad en el Templo de Cedar City el día antes de su funeral.

A Greg le encantaba enseñar el evangelio con los misioneros, y le encantaba cocinar e invitarlos a cenar, lo que hacía a menudo en Arizona y México.

El hijo de Greg, Warner, dijo que incluso a riesgo de su vida, y sin importar en qué estado se encontrara su padre, sabía que su padre nunca negaría su fe en Jesucristo.

La hermana de Greg, Diana, escribió lo siguiente sobre él: "Me encantó el testimonio de Greg, su sensibilidad espiritual, su sentido del humor, su amor por las cosas sagradas y santas, su amor por la familia, pero especialmente su amor por Jesucristo. Tenía un testimonio de la expiación del Salvador, de José Smith y de la restauración del Evangelio. Se regocijó cuando pudo usar nuevamente el poder del sacerdocio para bendecir a los miembros de su familia. Sabía que el Libro de Mormón era verdadero ya menudo citaba pasajes y los relacionaba con sus experiencias diarias. Amaba el poder que el Libro de Mormón trajo a su vida. También apreciaba las experiencias que compartimos como familia mientras crecíamos con el estudio familiar de las Escrituras. Compartió ese testimonio de las Escrituras y de su fe con sus hijos."

A su muerte nunca había estado más feliz, y había dicho muchas veces que estaba agradecido de estar bien con el Señor una vez más, y de haber sido bendecido con una esposa tan edificante e inspiradora.

A Greg le sobreviven su esposa, Vanessa, sus hijos, Jessica, Warner, Garrett y Dallin, su hijastro, Nefi, su madre, Patricia, y sus hermanos, Monica, Jeffrey, Patricia, Diana, Rebecca, Jennifer, Deborah, Christopher y Katherine. Fue premuerto por su padre Robert, su hijo Andrew y su hermano, Arthur.

Como familia, estamos agradecidos por la vida de Greg y por las cosas que nos enseñó. Su hermana, Jennifer, dijo de él: "Me asombra su fortaleza, testimonio y determinación para convertirse en un hombre nuevo".

Por último, su hermana, Becca citó esta escritura que le recordaba a él:

"He peleado la buena batalla, he acabado mi carrera, he guardado la fe". 2 Timoteo 4:7

Dios esté contigo hasta que nos volvamos a encontrar, Greg.
