Terrell J. “Terry” Hennet, 77, peacefully passed away at home on March 23, 2025, in Charleston, SC.  He was born August 25, 1947, in Woodruff, SC to the late Belton C. and Bobbie Jean (Littlefield) Hennet. 

He is preceded in death by his parents, Belton and Bobbie Hennet and is survived by his loving wife of 36 years, Pamela M. Hennet,; his children, Nicholas Hennet and Mariah (Jared) Hennet Williamson; his grandsons, Wade and Wesley; his sister A'delle (James) Chellis; his beloved dogs, Ginger and Delilah and many loved ones.

Growing up in a military family, he traveled many places for schooling during his early years, graduating from Summerville High School, where he played football under Coach McKissick and later attended Trident Tech.  He dedicated much of his life career to public safety, serving as a member of the Charleston City Police, he was one of the first Charleston County EMT's.  He later held positions as the head of security for Kiawah Island Resort and the Omni Hotel, Charlotte, NC.

Terry was an avid enthusiast of motorcycles, guns and leather work.  He found great pleasure in these hobbies and after retiring, he earned a degree for gunsmithing at Piedmont Tech, Greenwood, SC.  He was a master of many trades.

Terry's life was filled with mischief, sarcasm and sly humor hidden just beneath his tough guy exterior.  He never missed a chance to offer a well-timed quip or a joke to lighten your day.  His stories, sayings and love will live on in the family he was so proud of.  His legacy lives on in the lives he touched, the family he loved and the countless stories that will be told in his memory.
