Coral’s light shone brightly — through her kindness, her compassion, and her unwavering devotion to those she loved. Her sudden departure from this world is a loss beyond words, and today, we stand together in grief and remembrance.

The Indianapolis Colts draft room — and indeed, the entire Colts organization — stands in complete solidarity with Matt Terpening, our esteemed Director of College Scouting, and his family during this incredibly painful time. We are more than just colleagues; we are a family. And today, that family mourns alongside Matt, his children, and everyone who cherished Coral.

Coral’s spirit touched many corners of our organization. Whether through the quiet strength she offered behind the scenes or the way she lit up a room with her genuine warmth, Coral was more than just a part of Matt’s story — she became, by extension, part of ours. Her sudden passing has left a deep and lasting impact on our hearts, reminding us all how precious, fragile, and beautiful life truly is.

To Matt, to your children, and to every member of the Terpening and Cressman families: we extend our deepest sympathies, our unwavering support, and our love. In the days, weeks, and months ahead, we commit to walking alongside you in your grief, holding space for your sorrow, and celebrating the incredible life Coral lived.

Though no words can ease the sorrow you feel, know that Coral’s memory will continue to live on — in the lives she touched, the love she gave so freely, and the family she built so beautifully. She leaves behind a legacy of love, compassion, and strength, and we are all better for having known her.

Today, we remember Coral.
We honor her life.
We grieve her loss.
And we lift up her family with love and prayers.

Rest peacefully, Coral Cressman Terpening.
You are deeply loved, and you will never be forgotten.
