    Our most sincere prayers for Terry’s family. He was one of the nicest gentleman I have ever had the pleasure to meet. His honesty and integrity will be a great loss to the community and all who new him. God must be needing an A-1 mechanic. I find it hard to express my sadness at his passing. The world needs more young men like Terry. He will be missed greatly.

    I will miss your laugh, smile, and kindness. I always got a kick out of stopping in the shop and getting you to laugh. Your honesty and friendship won’t be forgotten. You will be missed greatly.

    Terry was a great man. Honest and trusting, I didn’t know him for long but always stopped in the morning when I had trivial car issues. He would always laugh and give me a hard time. Every time I stopped in he would be smiling. By far the most fair, best mechanic i’ve ever had working on my vehicles. Dear Tracy, and family, you are in my thoughts and prayers at this time, he will surely be missed by everyone and i’am truelly thankful for having the chance to have been his acquaintance.

    I send my sincere condolences to the entire Kohnert & Rivers family! My heart goes out to all of you for your loss of Terry. Such sad news to hear. Will keep everyone in my thoughts & prayers..

    Terry was an amazing man which everyone who met him would attest to. He was a huge part of my life and my heart is breaking knowing that he will no longer be here to get a hug from or share a laugh with. The kindness that he has shown my family without a second thought proves that he was a selfless man. I truly loved Terry Kohnert and will continue to love and cherish the memory of him. He will continue to be a part of everyone

    To the Kohnert family—Tracy, dear brother and partner, wife, Heather, all other siblings, daughter, grandchildren, etc…what a tragic loss of an amazing man who had the biggest heart and kindest personality. We share your sorrow, cannot begin to know your pain and loss but will pray unceasingly for comfort for all of you and we will miss him greatly. He took such great care of us and our vehicles and we trusted him (and Tracy, you too) completely. God’s peace to you all.

    To Terry and all his loved ones-
    I’m sad and shocked at the passing of one so young and loved. I’ve known Terry and his twin Tracy since little babies and used to love watching them playing together. You guys are loved and held in high esteem by many others. I remember Dib telling us about your venture in buying a garage and hoped you’d made it go. Little did she know your reputation preceded you and you’d be overloaded with work! You ‘kids’ are the best and my prayers are with all the family now and in the future. I hope your Mom & Dad and brother Tom were there with opened arms to greet you, Terry. God bless all of you!

    Oh my gosh- so shocked to hear of Terry passing-still can’t believe it-we totally trusted him with our personal vehicles and my son and husbands 2 race cars that he sponsored- we will be putting memorial stickers on our race cars for sure! I graduated with Terry and Tracy – what nice guys – I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers-so sorry again….

    Dear Tracy,Monica and I convey our sympathy to you and your family on the unexpected passing of Terry. He and you were the heart and soul of your auto repair business.

    May God be with your family during your time of grieving.

    Best regards.

    So shocked like everyone else, to Tracy, his wife and children and the rest of family, my God hold you all during these hard moments, may you keep him deep inside your heart and share memories and laughter one day again. A great man, this is the legacy he left. God bless you all

    Deepest sympathy to all the Kohnert family. I was sad to see that Terry had passed away. I have always enjoyed so many of the Kohnert family, many as students at GHS. Rest in peace Terry, and may God bring comfort to all who mourn your much too early departure from earth.

    I am so very sorry for your family’s loss. Terry was a top notch guy and a great mechanic! He did two custom exhaust jobs for me and I got compliments on one when I sold the vehicle. We always joked ford vs Chevy, but in a fun way! He will be missed by many! My condolences.

    We were shocked to get the news about Terry. We knew Terry for quite some time. He was such a joy to be around and sooo kind and honest. What an example and testimony he has left.

    I just want to say I miss you Terry. We had a lot of fun when I came up to visit. I remember those days like the Nascar trips, ATV trips and hunting season even the nights at the casino. Lots of fun that was. You always were the big brother making sure Tracy and I where being behaved when things got out of hand sometimes you couldn’t but I did my best not to disappoint. After all we lost a good man left us all with thoughts of the good times many shared with you and the impact alone you made with me and others. Also always told you I was never gonna get married and done with kids. But here I am married and my son Thomas Alan Kohnert which I’m expecting tomorrow 08/01/2017. I hope he grows to be a man just like you.

    God bless all
