I was told that Chopper passed away this morning. It started me thinking about how many people call Chopper a friend. He never met a stranger. he always went that extra step to help a person in need.

I know for a fact that he once gave his last twenty dollars to a lady so she could buy some groceries to feed her kids. As a friend you couldn't do any better. I was lucky enough to have Chopper as a neighbor, not once, but twice. He was always fast to say hello and ask sincerely "How's it going?" and he really wanted to know. Chopper had many friends on many different levels of society. He didn't see poor or rich, he saw into a persons heart and spirit.

I can only imagine the number of people who call Chopper 'friend'. As the news spread throughout town today, many people wept openly. Some said a silent prayer for Debbie and his boys. Some can only pay tribute in words such as these. Sam Shaw erected a sign today with the words.. "In memory of Terry L. Marsh.. Choppers last ride to heaven". Sorry Sam, I am not usually one to disagree.. But I think Chopper will now be making many rides to and from heaven as he carries blessings down from God.. to bestow on us who have yet to meet Him.

Rest well now Chopper.. My friend.. and friend to countless others.

I am very sorry to hear that Terry has passed away. I wish I had kept in touch with him he was one of my best friends in school. As I read this article the memory of me and him skipping school and some how we had borrowed a couple of dirt bikes and took off to Williams. We spent the whole day ridding and just having fun. I guess by the nickname he kept on ridding I am sure he will be missed.

You are right on man, Chopper was a good guy. I have been tryin to come up with a show for Chopper. I think I can get the cash together to pay for three bands. I'll give all the ticket and beer money back to the cause. If other bands want to join in at no pay we'll make room for them. Got a band that might want to rock for Chopper? Email me the details. and contacts at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it We'll have tunes, beer and babes.Harley Rider Forever, Stache
