CLINTON, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Family and former players reflect on a former Vol football player killed Saturday in a tree cutting accident at his Clinton home.

Terry Moore was most known for being the first player ever to step out on the field and play as a freshman.

But family members say it's what Moore did after his days of football they say brought him the greatest joy.

"He loved his Lord and he often said it's a good day to die," says Moore's wife Brenda.

Terry Moore died Saturday after a tree he was cutting at his home hit him in the chest and killed him.

Family members are morning his loss but his wife remembers the good times like when she met him forty years ago in high school.

"He always said I had seen you long before you ever approached me and it was lust at first sight," says Moore.

Terry went on to become a Volunteer in 1972 and became known as the first person to play as a freshman with the varsity squad.

"Terry was one of those guys, he was a physical specimen. He worked out all the time. Everything was football," says former Vol player Larry Seivers.

"I really enjoyed watching him and I was his biggest fan," says Moore.

In college, Moore juggled school, football, and a family life.

Instead of pursuing any pro career, a big change came to Moore.

"He and I had after our marriage of a couple years came to the Lord and that actually saved our marriage," says Moore.

After years of life as a salesman, Terry's desire to serve Jesus culminated in 2005.

"We started this church, Freedom Fellowship, right here in my living room with just eight of us," says Moore.

However notable Moore was on the football field, his wife Brenda says Terry would rather be known for his love of Jesus and his work as minister at the church which has now grown to sixty strong.

"On Independence Day 2009, Terry Moore got real freedom and he's with his Jesus," says Moore.

Brenda Moore says Holley Gamble Funeral Home in Clinton will be handling all the arrangements.

But at this time, those arrangements are not complete.
