Obituary For Terry Lee Conwell

Terry Lee Conwell was born on November 24, 1952, and transitioned peacefully on November 24, 2025. Terry was a lifelong resident of Sarasota, Florida, whose presence, warmth, and generosity touched countless lives. Terry attended Sarasota High School with the infamous Class of 1971. He had a pure love for football—a passion that brought him joy and created meaningful connections with others.

He shared his musical talents as a DJ, bringing energy, rhythm, and good times wherever he played. Terry also dedicated many years to serving his community as a security guard, later retiring from Martin Concrete with admiration and respect from those he worked alongside.

Terry will forever be remembered for the deep love he poured into the people around him. He was a mentor and a steady father figure to his nieces and nephews, who adored him. His caring nature extended far beyond his family—children throughout the neighborhood lovingly called him Uncle Terry, a name that perfectly captured his spirit of kindness, guidance, and open-hearted affection.

He leaves to cherish his memory his loving daughter, Maccia (Remecca) YarShawn Bunton (Frank). He is also survived by his loving mother, Ruby (Ms. Broom) Conwell; Two beloved sisters, Alice R. Garner and Gale Pepilus; and Three brothers, Timothy Conwell, Jerry L. Garner, and Shawn E. Garner. His loving aunt, Alley M. Hornes; and his loving grandchildren; Daelin Conwell, Brooke Bunton, Tyson Bunton, Kaylie Bunton, Jamie Henson and his great grandson; Josiah Matthew and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and many dear friends who became family.

Special recognition is given to his excellent caregiver, Markesha, for her devoted care and support.

Terry leaves behind a legacy of love, mentorship, and grace. Though he may be gone from our sight,
he will never be gone from our hearts.
