Joshua Samuel Terrill

We invite you to come together to support the Terrill family following the unimaginable loss of their beloved son, Josh Terrill.

Josh was a bright light in every room he entered. He was a passionate student athlete who poured his heart into family, school, soccer and track, always giving his all and encouraging those around him. But beyond these talents, Josh was known for something even more powerful — his deep and abiding faith, his commitment to serving at Hope (in so many areas), and the way he lived out that faith through kindness, generosity, and an ever-present smile that could brighten anyone’s day.

Josh loved deeply and gave freely — of his time, his laughter, and his heart. Now, as the Terrill family walks through this season of grief, we have the opportunity to show up for them the way Josh always showed up for others.

Service Details

Saturday, June 21 | Time: TBD. Tentatively scheduled for 3 p.m.

Willow Creek North Shore Auditorium
2200 Shermer Rd.
Glenview, IL 60025

The family would be honored if you stayed after the service to share stories, hugs, laughter — and even tears — as we remember and celebrate Josh.

* Light refreshments will be provided after the service

Dress:
This service is a celebration of Josh’s life, and we invite your wardrobe to reflect that spirit. If you played on a team with him, feel free to wear your jersey or warm-ups. If you shared school or church experiences with him, wear something from your school or church. Soccer fans are welcome to wear a favorite team shirt. And if you need a little inspiration, Josh’s favorite color was lime green. However you choose, please help brighten the day with color as we honor his life.

Please contact Jason with questions
