It’s an immensely sad day for the Killer Instinct community today as we’ve unfortunately lost one our own. With a saddened heart I’m afraid to report that Terrance Moore a.k.a Pushatee, passed away last night. He was at the SuperArcade in Walnut, CA to compete in their weekly Killer Instinct tournament with other players when he suddenly passed out. Paramedics were called to the scene immediately via the fast reaction of some of those around him, but they were unfortunately unable to revive him at the hospital. He died from what was allegedly a heart attack.
Amir and I post a lot of news here on KIC on a weekly and monthly basis, but since our venture began back in July of 2013, we’ve never had to report on the loss of an individual in the KI community. I didn’t know Terrance personally and never had the privilege of meeting him, but I know that he has been a prominent individual in the KI community since the game’s announcement and launch last year. My heart truly goes out to his wife and two kids he leaves behind as well as to his friends and everyone that really close to him.
Now just like with anyone in life who passes on, there’s always a cost involved afterwards and Terrance is no exception to the facts. Funeral expenses and other things are needed to give support to his immediate family, and that’s where we all come together to pitch in and assist in whatever way we can. Super Arcade will be selling wrist bands tonight on location in Walnut, CA with all proceeds going to the family. They will be streaming, so I think you can also donate during the stream, which you can tune into at this link beginning at 6PM PST and running through to 3AM tomorrow morning. Grimmmz will also be running his own donation drive for him via stream later on too. If you’d like to donate right now, you can do so at the link provided below, which has already raised a significant amount of money.
Donate To Terrance ‘Pushatee’ Moore Funeral/Support Fund Right Here!!
Grimmmz and ImKnomad have done a couple of heartfelt tribute videos for Terrance which I’ve embedded below for you to watch at your leisure. You’ll learn more about him and the type of nice and caring individual that he truly was. Rest in peace Terrance… you are and will forever be missed….

Sad to hear. Prayers sent to his family.
My heart sunk to agony at this loss, RIP pushatee, our condolences go to your family.
I didn’t know Pusha or any of the C88’s but its never easy to hear about a passing whether you knew them or not. I give my heartfelt condolences to close friends and family of Terrence Moore. I’ve haven’t been part of the FGC long enough to meet any of the top players or go to as many events but I see everyone in the FGC as family and it’s never easy to lose family. We love you Pushatee and hope you’re still kicking ass on the other side.
Ah man. A heart attack? The poor guy. He will be greatly miss by the KI community and may he now R.I.P.
How old was he before he passed on.
25 years old. And SO young to passed on now too
Actually he was 29…
Still tho. My god…
Yeah, I know right? And again SO young too
From a heart attack at such a young age as well. Unbelievable
Sad news.
Indeed it is
R.I.P. Brother.
I remember him from the old forums, really nice guy. May there be KI tournaments wherever he is now. R.I.P.
with my heart how it is. this is one reason why I dont and cant compete professionally. ive come close to having one myself many times while competing when i was younger to the point where you could see my heart beating and pushing into my ribs and I know that Adrenaline is serious.
Although I am not deep in the community my thoughts and prayers are with everyone who knew him… truly a sad day for eveyone and I just hope he is at peace wherevr he is now.
R.I.P. good sir… you will be missed by many
