About Terry
Terry Farmer embodied the very principle of sharing the gift of recovery with others. Terry served at Turning Point as a mentor to participants and his persona was characterized by grace, humor, humility, and love for the Lord. Much of Terry’s free time was spent reaching out to alumni of Turning Point to check on them and ensure that they knew that they were loved. Terry also had a mission of cultivating opportunities for men who were without resources to be gifted with an opportunity. Terry initiated letter writing campaigns and leaned into the many relationships that he had forged in his career and his life in recovery to ask for their help to enable an opportunity for another man. Terry’s passing in 2023 was a harrowing reminder of the precious and fragile nature of life. His gratitude for each day was infectious and it is with this in mind that we have elected to promote our scholarship fund in Terry’s name as a memorial to the life and energy that Terry provided to all who encountered him.
