Hello, my name is Alannah. On Monday, 5/5/25, my cousin Jessica received a call that no wife would ever think they would receive. Her husband, and daddy to her two young children, was found unresponsive in the parking lot at work after he went to throw out some trash. As time went on, we learned that he had been without oxygen to his brain for over 30 minutes, and 20 of those minutes were without a pulse.

On Wednesday, 5/7/25, after all tests were concluded, we learned that he had a heart attack. He no longer had brainwaves, and the only thing keeping his body on this plane were the tubes and meds. He was truly no longer with us.

Early Friday, 5/9/25, evening, Jessica, after a discussion with all the family, made the only decision that she could… we had to turn off the machines and let him go.

On 5/10/2025, at 2:23 am early Saturday morning, Ted’s body took its last struggled breath. Aiden lost his second father almost 8 years to the day, Kloee lost the only father she has ever known, and Jessica lost the love of her life… and the rest of us lost a son, brother, cousin, and friend.

We are so very devastated. We are hoping to raise enough money for the medical bills and everything else that comes with this wonderful and loving man’s sudden passing.
