Haas, Terrence Bishop
Terrence Bishop Haas, 43, died as he had lived, surrounded by his loving
family, whom he called his center. He passed away peacefully on Tuesday, 18
January 2005. Terry was born 9 July 1961, in Columbus, Ohio, and became and
always will be everything to his beloved mother, Natalie. In his short life,
he achieved all that he had set out to accomplish. From his first day of
school, when he disappointedly told his mother that he had not learned
anything because he still did not know how planes fly and how boats sail, he
insatiably pursued knowledge. In 1978, he graduated, at age 16, from
Springfield High School in Holland, Ohio. By the time he was twenty, he had
earned both a B.S. in business from Ohio State, as a proud Evans Scholar, and
an MBA from Indiana University. In 1990, he married his darling, JaNae Brown,
in Provo, Utah, where they made their home. In 1998, he completed an MS in
computer science at Brigham Young University. He was thoroughly committed to
and thrived in his career as a Software Engineer at Novell. His family wishes
to thank all of his supportive colleagues, for their care and concern. He is
survived by his loving wife, JaNae Haas; his sons, Alex (12) and Connor (10);
his beloved mother, Natalie; his stepfather and dear friend, Paul Waddell; his
devoted father-in-law, Glen Brown; his brothers-and-sisters-in-law; Mike
(Leslie); Barry (Debbie); Kelly (Sharon); Danny; Bonnie (Dirk); Julie (Julie
Ann); nephews and nieces: Leigh; Cale (Heather); David (Emily); Chase; Regan;
Bryan; Brandon (Leah); Ashley (Brian); Matt; Cameron; Justin (Kari); Ethan;
Ben; Melissa; Ellison; Bowen; their children, many dear cousins, aunts,
uncles, and friends. He was preceded in death by his dear mother-in-law,
Betty; her sister, Helen; and many valued relatives and friends. We wish to
thank Dr. Thomas Dickinson, Chris Biesinger, and their staff for their loving
and thorough care. You were always there for us. 'Twill yonder break Shall
wind serve We knew him well For our dad's swerve He lighted the day And
brighted the night He lifted our spirits Until the moment was right--- Love,
from Connor "My Dad was a wonderful person and very loving dad. He enjoyed
hanging out with Connor and me. He would go to the park with us to throw the
football, play tennis, and many other activities. One day, after finishing up
a tennis game at the park, he remarked to our grandpa that  It doesn't get
better than this.' You will be forever in my heart and mind." Love you, Dad
Alex. Terry unerringly followed his own internal compass. He lived thoroughly
in the present and was truly tolerant and always fearless. He departed without
regrets. We celebrate his life, and we will miss him always. In lieu of
flowers, contributions may be made to a fund in the name of Terrence Haas, for
the education of his sons, through any Mountain America Credit Union.
