Mr. Terry Joseph “T.J.” Rettmann Durham, 27, of Murfreesboro passed away on April 25, 2021. He was born in Murfreesboro, TN on February 23, 1994. He is survived by his mother, Renee Durham of Murfreesboro, sister, Rebecca (Angel) Rettmann Fernandez of Murfreesboro, uncles, Randy (Jeannie) Durham, Terry (Patricia) Durham, and Ray Durham all of Murfreesboro, nieces, Olivia and Maria Fernandez, nephew Luis Fernandez, and several cousins and friends.

TJ was a kid at heart. He loved being with his friends and was close to his family, especially his cousin, BJ, and BJ’s daughter, Stella. During his childhood, many people knew he played football and did ROTC, but he also was talented at drawing. He had a big heart and an infectious smile that made forgiving him for pushing your buttons the easiest task. He was someone that could make even the shiest child crack a smile and come give a hug.

 A big outdoorsman, fishing, hunting, 4-wheeling, and mudding were his hobbies of choice, but he also took pride in his work. His love for the outdoors and family came together during the years he worked with his Uncle Terry doing construction. When he wasn’t working with Uncle Terry, several people knew him from the Lions Den, where he helped his Aunt Jeannie. She fondly remembers him thinking he was a chef and saying “ain’t bragging, but I can cook some chicken.” He was a man of many talents, but there is one thing you knew for sure about him. Whether you saw TJ with his friends or family, outdoors or inside, working or playing, you weren’t going to miss the bright red in his outfit from his Chicago Bulls hat. He always wore it, and it became part of his signature look.

Visitation will be held at Smith Funeral Home on Sunday, May 2, 2021 from 1-4 pm. Memorial services will follow in the Smith Funeral Home chapel at 4 pm. Tim Higgins will officiate. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to assist with funeral expenses by contacting Smith Funeral Home.
