5, 1973 - Aug. 22, 2009SOUTH BEND - Terrence Beau Rans, 36, passed away in an auto accident in Knoxville, TN. Terrence graduated from Clay High School in 1991 and attended college at Purdue University. At the time of his death, Terrence lived in Knoxville, Tennessee, where he was furthering his career in the restaurant business. It was his dream to own and operate his own restaurant and bar. Terrence loved life and had many hobbies and passions, perhaps none greater than watching his beloved Chicago Bears, while accompanied with friends. In his short life, Terrence affected many people in a positive way. He was a loyal and loving son, brother and friend who was always ready to assist someone. He is survived by his mother, Carolyn Welches of South Bend; his father, Michael Rans of South Bend; his brother, E. Zackary Rans; sister-in-law, Adriane Rans; nephews, Griffin and Tristan, and niece, Jocelyn, all of Tampa, Florida. Whether we knew him by Terrence or Beau, he will always be with us and we will love him forever. Terrence had more to accomplish and more lives to touch and he will be missed. A private family service is planned. However, an Open House in his honor will be held at Simeri's Old Town Tap, 1505 West Indiana Avenue, South Bend, on Saturday, September 5th, from 1 to 4 p.m. For those who wish to do so, please come and share your memories.
