Born on June 22, 2010, Colten William Terril grew up in Brazil, Indiana, and was a freshman at Northview High School.
In fact, anybody who ever watched him play knew right away he was special on the baseball field. He started playing with the Silver Knights when he was just 5 years old, always wearing number 6.
Even though he was right-handed, he batted and threw left-handed, so everybody nicknamed him “Bambino.”
Coaches and teammates said he was the best first baseman around.
He was eagerly looking forward to his first high school season with the Northview Knights; unfortunately, it didn’t come true.
Besides baseball, Colten loved outdoor activities. He fished every chance he got, went shooting with his dad, worked on cars, and tore up the yard on his dirt bike and four-wheeler.
Colten was basically a country boy who loved being outdoors.
But the thing people remember most is how kind he was. He made everyone feel at home and seen.
A visitation is reportedly scheduled for Saturday, November 29, 2025, to remember Colten. Visitation runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Lawson-Miller Chapel, 1702 East National Avenue in Brazil.
A funeral service officiated by Pastor Kenny Thomas, following the visitation, will start at 5 p.m.
During this challenging time, we pray for the strength of Colten’s parents, sisters, great grandparents, grandparents, friends, teammates, and extended family.
Rest In Heavenly Peace, Colten William Terril!
