Terry Albert Kamhi passed away on Thursday, April 29, 2021 in Altamonte Springs, FL. Born in Columbia, South Carolina he is the son of Albert and Patricia Ann McCoy-Kamhi.
Terry passed away on his own terms, peacefully and with those whom he most loved. His daughters, Alicia and Jamie, were his world and for him to see them together, bonded as sisters, made him feel complete and at peace.
We had the incredible honor to love and learn from Terry over his short 45 years. Smart, resilient, loved by many and always first to stand up for family. He always stood for equality, fairness and particularly the homeless. Every Saturday, when he was physically able, Terry would prepare around 100 lunch bags and distributed each of the lunches to Orlando's homeless. As he did so he would sit, talk and listen with the people, and offer comfort where he could.
Terry always said his happiest three days were the births of his daughters and watching his sister, Tracy, marry Rob Szalay, a man who Terry described as perfect match for his sister.
Terry had long suffered with health issues but always displayed continued strength, courage, love and perseverance. It just became too much, and now he is without pain and finally resting in peace.
We miss him so much already but he is forever in our hearts.
Terry is survived by his daughters Alicia Winslow and Jamie Napier, his sister Tracy Ann Kamhi-Szalay, parents Al & Patricia Kamhi, and a multitude of aunts, uncles and cousins who adored him and were always smitten by his infectious smile.

Memorial Service will be held at 1:00 PM on Friday, May 14, 2021 at Oaklawn Park Cemetery - Tranquil Oaks Cremation Garden, 4991 Co Rd 46A, Lake Mary, FL 32746.
