Primary Traveler Not Taking Return Portion of Companion Trip

I booked an MSN --> TPA trip with my buddy to go to IMG Bollettieri tennis camp in Bradenton next month. The return is TPA-->MSP-->MSN. I don't need to take the return now that I can/need to go to JAN and my employer will pay for SRQ/TPA-->JAN-->MSN to eventually get me home.

So my question is this. I will be taking the outbound with my companion. But only he will be taking the return. If I don't show up for that flight, will his ticket be cancelled or jeopardized in any way? I didn't see anywhere that would be the case but wanted to see if others have had a similar experience. I don't want him to get on the plane and then be escorted off if I don't show.

From the T&C:

"Cancellations/Ticket Changes/Reissuance:
If the primary ticket or the Companion ticket is cancelled, both tickets will be cancelled and the Companion ticket will not be reissued. Subject to the fare rules of the primary ticket, the value of the primary ticket, less a $200 administrative service charge and any fare difference, may be applied to future travel. Cancellations are subject to the rules of the fare purchased. Neither a new Companion Certificate nor Companion ticket will be issued upon a cancellation.

If the primary ticket and Companion ticket are changed after issuance, subject to the fare rules of the primary ticket, there will be a $200 administrative service charge for each of the primary ticket and the Companion ticket, plus a charge for the fare difference of the primary ticket. Changes are subject to the rules of the fare purchased and are subject to seat availability. After travel has commenced, rerouting is not permitted."
