Terrell Owens Dad?

[Coakleys Dad]

Wow...i cant believe T.O. miss camp because his dad died.... what a cancer.

I assume you haven't read Hos' post.

But anyway, tswo people can be on good terms at the time of the birth and then fall out soon after the child was born and too young to know any better. The mother starts wildin' out. The father moves on to his new life. The rest of the family just leaves well enough alone.

Pep, you just gotta think dysfunctional. It happens. I know some people it's personally happened to; not to where their pops are across the street, but close enough.

Hmmm I like that sound of that. Care to offer a definition? Why do I get the feeling I want to be the next guy to buy that mother a drink?
Come to think of it, I've been there a few times.

regardless of the thread I hope TO and his dad worked or work things out. Family is family and its all we got in this life.

I could call the guys running his Camp and find out more, but I really don't want to pry. I figure of Terrell wants people to know, he will let people know.

T.O. is going to be on The Michael Irvin Show this Tuesday at 1:35pm cst.

I am sure the issue of a family member passing will be discussed.

Just to clear up the story about him finding out who his dad was..

http://sports.outsidethebeltway.com/2006/06/the-other-terrell-owens/

In his 2004 autobiography, Catch This! Going Deep With the NFL’s Sharpest Weapon, Owens writes about a meeting with his mother, Marilyn Owens, and Savarese during his junior year that changed his life. It began his commitment to football and to weight training. “It was because of her support,” Savarese said of Owens’ mother. “If she wasn’t the strong person in his life, he very easily could have gone astray, because there was so much evil so very close to where he lived.”

Marilyn was only 17 when she had Terrell, the first of her four children. Terrell did not learn his father’s identity until he was 11 after he started showing interest in a girl across the street. A neighbor, L.C. Russell, told Terrell he couldn’t be interested in the girl, explaining that she was his half-sister. Owens said in his book that it took a while before he understood that Russell was his father.

That's just nuts.

I found out a few weeks ago that I have a brother and sister whom I have never met. I can't even fathom what it must be like to live that close to them and not know.

 

[utrunner07]

kind of on topic. The other day (Father's Day) Owens was asked what the day meant to him...he kind of avoided it as it concerened to his biological farth then proceeded to say "and as for me I am just trying to be the best farther I can be" becuase the only person I am a farther to right now is me...nearly spewed a bunch of water when I heard it...funny on so many levels....(sigh) you probably had to see it.

T.O. explained it in both his book. He never knew his father and one day out of nowhere a guy from across the street told him that he was his father. He said he wasn't comfortable for a while, but soon after they developed a close relationship.

Anyway, thoughts are with T.O.

 

[malone1970]

I don't think he had any real relationship with his dad.

His father actually lived across the street from T.O. when he was a child. His dad lived with a wife and family of his own that he had started prior to having Terrell. T.O. knew the man across the street for years before ever learning it was his father.

That article doesn't mention T.O. as a surviving next of kin so who knows if it's true.

Who cares if he didn't have a relationship with his Dad... He was still his father. It amazes me how some people always have something negative to say when it comes to T.O. cut the man some slack.. Damn! Whether this is true or not stop picking on the man and give him and his family some sympathy..... Sorry Terrell for your lost and may God Bless you and your family...
