Born in the sign of water, Ted was most at peace on St. George and Peanut Island with his family, friends, and his four legged “girls", Georgia, Abby, and Savannah.
Ted was always the first to offer help to others and influenced the lives of many people, passing on his vast knowledge and skills through coaching, BMX, fishing, diving, and boating.
He was predeceased by his father, brother Randy, and his grandson, Christian Jackson Smiley. He is greatly missed by his loving wife, Robin, son Teddy, daughter Elizabeth Smiley (Mark), mother Jean, sisters Cheryl Baker and Deborah Duck, brother Christopher, nieces, nephews, and many friends.
