Obituary

Terrence Emanuel Gant , age 58, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Thursday, August 14, 2025, at his home, surrounded by his loving family.

Born in Gary, Indiana, Terrence was the son of the late Emanuel Gant and Margaret Lee (Williamson) Johnson, who survives. He was a proud graduate of Gary Roosevelt High School.
