TeRey departed from his earthly home on February 21, 2025 and took a one way red eye flight to his Heavenly mansion. TeRey was a vessel of love and he impacted everyone with whom he came into contact with. As a child the Family affectionately nicknamed him “Rey Rey” and boy did he live up to that name. He was a rough lil whippersnapper who was all boy. If it could be done most likely TeRey tried it. From climbing the highest tree and jumping off screaming like Tarzan. Popping wheelies on his bike and busting his head or jumping fences and cutting up his back, and keeping it a secret because he didn’t want to get in trouble. No matter how many times Rey Rey fell or hurt himself he always got back up. Lil “Rey Rey” was the life of the party and beyond musically gifted. At the age of five his ear & LOVE for music began to develop. He would entertain everyone by rapping or singing. He would put on his suit jacket from church and a glove and pretend he was Michael Jackson, moonwalking through the house singing all of his hits. He would entertain guests when they came to visit and each time his show became a must see professional production. Eventually he took his show on the road and performed in his first talent show singing the Motown classic “My Girl” by the Temptations. After receiving a standing ovation a star was born and he would soon take the world by storm. “Rey Rey” was a spoiled child who was LOVED by everyone especially his Family and Ebenezer Church Family. The foundation of his life was built on Church and God because that would become his life’s moral and spiritual compass. In Church he served as a junior usher, choir member, soloist, and sometimes drummer, a gift that was passed down from his Father Darwin Copeland. He attended Church weekly for Sunday School, Sunday Worship Experience, Prayer, & Bible Study. He LOVED God and He knew God. At the age of eight he relocated to Baltimore, MD where he gained a Dad who would love him unconditionally, shape his future, and help shift the trajectory of his life. A childless Man who married his Mother and deemed TeRey as his “Jr” from the very beginning. Their bond would become unbreakable and their LOVE would cover a multitude of things. BerNard LOVED his son past his faults and every time his son needed him he was present. “Pops” is what he called the Man who would challenge his mindset, cultivate, & nurture him from a boy to a Man. As a teenager he returned back to Flint and lived with his Grandparents on Chevrolet & Genesee. He attended Northern High School where he played football and basketball. TeRey was a great athlete and wanted to pursue an athletic career until he broke his foot which resulted in his career ending early. However, that didn’t stop him from hooping or playing football with his Brothers, Uncles, and children. In 2013 his Mother birthed the syndicated radio show “The Tyra Hill Show” where he was the engineer. He helped to create the brand and he was committed to making it a success, and it was. Later it became a sought out TV Talk Show where he was a Co-Producer. After beginning therapy and healing the trauma in his life. His Mother produced a Show entitled “Emotionally Healing With Your Adult Children”. It was powerful and one of the most sought out episodes because it was raw and real. A few years later Tyra birthed “Tyra Hill’s Live Jam Session” where she would interview artists from different genres and they would perform with her live band and DJ. HB Da Goat was one those artists who performed on that stage and rocked it! As the years went by he pursued his musical career and dreams even more . His Parents believed in him and a studio was put in the house to invest into his bright future. First there was “Polo Don” but a rebirth happened and then there was “HB DA GOAT”. His artistry began to flourish and HB became one of the dopest Hip Hop Artists of this generation. He’s performed on some of the biggest stages in the world such as SXSW, Beats & Beers, & many other music festivals. He’s also performed with some of the biggest and dopest Hip Hop Artists such as E40, Bootleg of The Dayton Family, Lil Spade, Baltimore Artist Mally Mall, RMC Mike, PDM Purp, Hot Boy Turk, King TC, Big Citi, Trouble, TDI Sosa, Mike Beezy Bad A__, Tae-Cousin, Lou Skanless, SB Shorty, & Detwan Love just to name a few. The older TeRey Sr. became the more he evolved into manhood. He found his rhythm as a Father and flow as an adult. He was an amazing Son who cared for his Mother after her heart surgery and his Pops after his cancer removal surgery. His goal of working to provide for his children was of importance to him. When he wasn’t away working, spending precious time with his babies was the best part of his life. He was funny, silly, and he played too much. His smile would light up the world and his laugh will forever echo through our hearts. He leaves to cherish his Four Beautiful Biological Children TeRey T. Lee Jr., Bryson A. Persons, Iverson S.
