Though gang life proved fierce and, most times, even short lived Terrance was loyal to a fault. Ultimately, the consequence of this delinquent life-style was a collective 10 years of incarceration ranging from the juvenile facilities to the state penitentiary. With the danger of spending the remainder of his young life in prison, the thought that he'd never have an opportunity to watch his children grow and assist in their development opened his eyes to what was truly important.
Today, Terrance is a loving father who has since served as Minister & Youth Leader at Worship In Truth C.O.G.I.C.
Stone, today, serves as a youth counselor; he graduated from Cal State LA as a State Certified Gang Intervention Specialist. He is a Board Member of the San Bernardino County Gangs and Drugs Task Force.
