Terric Lamart Hood was born on October 2, 1970, to Dorothy Lee Walker and Eric Hood. Terric attended Hoover High School in San Diego, California. He was employed at The Game Bar and Grille Rubber Ducks Stadium as a cook before his illness took effect.

 He is most known for his dancing and cooking. Oh, how he could dress – always matching from head to toe, and he was always complimented on how good he smelled.

Terric was very family oriented and not only loved to have a good time but a “HOOD” time and be the life of the party! He loved to be around family and have a good time. His favorite saying to gather all the kids was “Regulators Mount Up.”

Terric was preceded in death by his father, Eric Hood; grandmothers, Ella Lee Graham, and Glenna Hood; and grandfathers, Marvin Hood, and Booker Peterson.

He leaves to cherish his memories, loving wife, Elaunda Hood; children, Shonte Hunter, Terric L. Hood Jr., Tiara Hood, Eric (Ashley) Hood, Erica Hood, Latasia Hood, Terron Hood, and Tyree Hood; bonus children, Shaunteenaye Carter, Demetrius Farr, and Jasmine Taylor; mother, Dorothy Hood; mother-in-law, Angela Smith; siblings, Steve Hood, Kisha Hood Dunson, Teila Hood, Marvin Hood, Tyon (Shonda) Hood, and Shamika (Terrell) Shegog; 15 grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, and cousins; and best friend, Deon Williams. Terric loved all dearly.
