Theodore August Bajorek passed away on Sunday, February 11, 2024 surrounded by family. Ted was born April 22, 1954 in Denver, Colorado to Charlotte and Augustus Bajorek. He was the second of five children.
After graduating from Wheat Ridge High School in 1972 he joined the army with his best friend Ken Fentress at the tail end of the Vietnam draft. Prior to joining the army he met the love of his life Debra Machan on a blind date setup by Ken and Karen Fentress. Ted never passed up a chance to tell people that someday Debra’s eyesight would improve. They were married in 1973 and spent the next 50 years building a life and family together. Traveling the world together and with their family they were rarely apart.
