Most people pursue money, power, or fame. Teddy Nigh pursued friendships. His brother Chris said it best: “Teddy was addicted to friendships.” He sought you out and made you his friend. He was the Paul Bunyan of friends - larger than life. His loyalty, love, and generosity can only be described in mythical terms; they were too good to be true. While it takes most of us years to develop close personal bonds, Teddy could do so within days, if not hours. To know Teddy was to love Teddy. He made you a life-long friend, whether you met him during childhood or last month. Throughout his life, Teddy blessed each of us with his steadfast friendship. In his death, we have an opportunity to generously honor him through this GoFundMe. All donations will go directly to his devoted mother, Judi Nigh, not only in support of all memorial and funeral arrangements but also as a loving thank you for the precious gift of our eternal friend, James Theodore “Teddy” Nigh (6/5/1970 - 7/6/2023).
