I find it a fitting quote(or verse? idk what the terminology is).
Taken from allegedly the last video shot by Terry before his demise.

A screenshot from the aforementioned YouTube video in which Terry A. Davis is smiling at the camera, and a comment below reads:
“So in my anger I gave you a king, and in my wrath I took him away.”
- Hosea 13:11
Ohhhhh the creator of TempleOS? I thought you were referring to someone who died recently. 😅

I used to love reading about his technical work, especially on osnews.com.
were you thinking of bram moolenaar, the creator of vim?
he was not a king, but rather a benevolent dictator. :)
Highly highly recommended that all Linux enjoyer’s look into his work. Its truly remarkable, he wrote EVERYTHING from scratch, he even made his own language variant based off of C called HolyC. He made the kenel from scratch, the drivers, the compiller, the man was a savant. Very very sadly, also suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, and died relating to it. He had mini games in his TempleOS that he made with just text files and sprites. Truly one of the most talented devs of all time.
He is the most obvious case for a good mental health system. That could have went far with enough support. The world lost a great coder
Agreed fully
