TERRY "PAPA" BERNARD KING QUARTERMAN was born on March 7, 1996, to Ronnice Quarterman Howard and Terry Bernard King (preceded in death) in Gainesville, FL. Papa departed his earthly life and entered eternal rest on the morning of May 17, 2024.
Papa graduated from Eastside High School and developed a passion for insurance after he started working at Nationwide Insurance. Since childhood, Papa was a visionary with big hopes and dreams, which led him to establish his own insurance company, KVNG Financial and Insurance Services. He loved to sing, cook, eat, and share his visions with family while spreading love and smiling his beautiful smile that we all loved and will always remember.
Papa leaves to cherish his legacy of love: his loving mother, Ronnice Q. Howard; father, Otis Howard; puppy, Apollo; sisters, Shantavia Webb and Otesia Howard; brothers, Calton Lee, Otis Howard, Jr. (Kenyatta), Dan Howard (Princess) and Zack; grandmother, Corine Riley (The late Ira Riley, Sr.); grandfather, William Quarterman; special uncles, William Quarterman, Jr., and Ira Riley, Jr.; special aunt, Katrina Riley; special nephews, Marcus Williams, Jr., and Zaedyn James; and a host of other uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends.
