The Glenview community and Glenbrook South High School are heartbroken over the passing of Joshua “Josh” Terrill, a beloved student-athlete, on June 8, 2025.
Josh passed away after a brave fight against Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a rare illness that affects the nerves.
Joshua “Josh” Terrill was a dedicated and talented student-athlete at Glenbrook South High School, where he excelled in track & field and cross country.
He had enrolled in 2023 and was a part of the Class of 2027 at Glenbrook South High School.
