Jessi Combs’ Boyfriend Terry Madden Breaks Silence, Says He ‘Did Everything Humanly Possible to Save Her’

MythBusters star and professional racer Jessi Combs passed away on Tuesday, Aug. 27 in an accident while trying to break her own land speed record in a jet-powered vehicle, with family and friends speaking out in the wake of her passing to express their sorrow.

On Wednesday, Combs’ boyfriend, Terry Madden, broke his silence on Instagram, sharing a montage of photos of himself and Combs as well video clips of the two together along with an emotional caption.

“So I don’t know how to say any of this but it all needs said,” he began. “I have never loved or been loved by anyone as much as this amazing woman [Jessi Combs] she was truly my unicorn and I enjoyed every single minute that I had with her. She was the most amazing spirit that I have ever or will ever know.”

“Unfortunately we lost her yesterday in a horrific accident, I was the first one there and trust me we did everything humanly possible to save her!!” Madden continued. “I’m not ok, but she is right here keeping my going-I made her a promise that if this didn’t go well that I would make sure and do good with it, please help me with that, you are all going to see things on news please believe non of them.. we the family have drafted a release and it will come out today with more proper info, but I was just woke up by the media tracking me down and I need everyone of her true friends to do what she would want ‘take a deep breath, relax’ and do good things with this.”

Madden encouraged fans to hold off on their donations until he and Combs’ family could set something up.

“Please donate to nothing, I know there will be people try, we are finishing the documentary as she wished and the world will know the truth and her foundation will use those funds to do amazing things in this world and make her legacy live on properly. In the coming days her family and I will get the proper channels put together that you can then donate to that foundation but until you hear it from me wait please-I don’t want some asshole profiting off this (all ready had one try to sell us a video),” he wrote. “Love you all and thank you all for being such amazing friends to her, she dedicated her life to helping support others dreams and I promise I will continue that.”
