Terrance Kelly...Shot and killed in Richmond, CA, a day before he was to report to training camp for his freshman year in 2004, he was going to be a great one for the Ducks. TK is sorely missed by his teammates, family, friends, and Duck fans around the world. R.I.P. TK, you will never be forgotten. 1986 - 2004.
Every moment in life since this occurred has been a disappointment by comparison.
Never in my entire life have I felt as much joy as on this glorious day.
Thank you Kenny Wheaton!
Another good day to be a Duck...
We love our Duck!!!!
