It is with profound sadness and deep love that we announce the passing of our beloved Terryll Little Jr., who left this world on May 11, 2026, at the tender age of 20. Terryll was born on October 24, 2005, in the vibrant city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His life, though brief, was filled with immense love, selflessness, and an unwavering commitment to those he held dear.
Terryll was a cherished son to Ashley Tart and Jamaur Hicks, who remain deeply proud of the incredible young man he grew into. He was a devoted brother to his sisters, Ziyeera Tart and Tariyah Little, and his brother, Amaur Hicks. His extended family, including countless aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents, were held close in his heart. Though he has left this earthly realm, he joins family members who have gone before, leaving a legacy of love and protection.
A proud graduate of McKeesport High School, Terryll was a passionate and talented individual. His love for music was boundless, and he had just begun to share his talent with the world, releasing his first song on YouTube. An avid sports enthusiast, Terryll found joy on the football field and in the thrill of the track, where he showcased his dedication and spirit.
Terryll was a young man defined by his love and loyalty. His heart was enormous, filled with kindness and an unwavering desire to protect those he loved. His mother was the center of his universe, and he would have moved mountains to ensure her happiness and safety. Terryll’s bond with his baby brother and his cousin Ali was unbreakable; he cherished his nephews as if they were his own children, showering them with unconditional love and care.
The family wishes to invite all who knew and loved Terryll to a celebration of his life on May 21, 2026, at 4:00 PM, at the Spriggs - Watson Funeral Home, located at 720 North Lang, Pittsburgh, PA 15208. This service will be a time to honor his memory, share stories, and remember the amazing human being he was.
A special message from the family encapsulates the essence of Terryll’s spirit: "He was so loyal to the people he genuinely loved. His heart was so big that he just wanted to have peace. He truly was and is an amazing human, carrying that in his demeanor. He was passionate about making his life better just so he could uplift those around him. He was our protector. He left us way too soon and will truly be missed but not forgotten, always remembered."
In closing, a heartfelt message from his Aunt Altimease: "We love you 'Lanier,' aka Man Man. Watch over your mom, cover her with your presence, and continue to be the great angel you've been to us in life. Rest in paradise, my love, until we meet again. Much love, Nephew."
