Terry was born on May 7, 1960 in Albuquerque, New Mexico to Carolyn Jackson Chafin and Tim Calvin Chafin. Terry was a very loving person who always put the needs of others before his very own. He believed in the power of helping people so much he began his professional career as a Paramedic for the Macon area where he faithfully served for 17 years. During his tenure, he had served as the director of EMS and had formed many lifelong friendships. Terry had left the EMS workforce and had begun a new chapter of his life when he began working for SAIC as a System Analysts alongside his beautiful wife, Patti.
