Terrence 'TJ' Joshua Suggs-Nichols
Tribute
Terrence “TJ” Joshua death is a tragedy shrouded in suspicion. TJ was pronounced brain dead from a gunshot wound to the back of his head, The media was quick to label it a murder-suicide. those closest to TJ knew something didn’t add up. He is gentle, giving, and lived to help others. Despite the headlines, refusing to let TJ name be tarnished. While the investigation could take up to 6-18 months dragging on with no clear answers, not focusing on defending TJ we chose to depend on God. TJ s’ death will have a purpose. TJ donated his organs and body to science. TJ, in death, could still help others And that’s exactly what happened. Five people, strangers to TJ, were given a second chance at life because of my life-changing challenging gift. A male in his 40s with his liver, A female in her 60s with his kidney, a right lung female in her 70s, left lung male in his 70s, his heart a male in his 60s - all carry pieces of TJ with them. His organs, his gift, had saved five lives. TJ’s legacy isn’t about the accusations, nor the cloud of doubt surrounding his death. It is about the five lives he saved and the countless more his story would continue to touch. Through TJ Legacy 5, Mom made sure his death wasn’t in vain. Instead, it is a catalyst for hope, healing, and justice.
