On May 7, 2019, Butler's then 27-year-old daughter, Jona Wright, died in a single-vehicle car accident after her car came off the road and was overturned multiple times, also leaving Butler's two grandsons, ages 6 and 10 at the time, who were also in the vehicle, with minor injuries.

Though Butler is also credited on Death's 1988 release Leprosy, he did not play on the album. The bass was instead performed by sole constant member Chuck Schuldiner, with Butler joining the band after the album was completed; though Schuldiner defended Butler's inclusion on the album's credits, stating "Terry contributed to the songwriting as well".
