I remember when we would go to the christmas eve party’s at geni’s house me and my family were always late but when you walk up the stairs there he was having a good time. I remember his hair was always a big ball of mess because he had dreads and you couldn’t brush dreads out. We would always make fun of him for it but he never got offended or hurt because at the end of the day we were all just messing around. We talked and had a good time. He seemed like one of the most care free light hearted funny souls out there. It just makes me sad thinking that i’ll never get to see him at another christmas eve party and get to make fun of his hair ever again. Fly high teddy and have a fun time in heaven until all of us meet you again ❤️

Looking back at my childhood memories, all I could remember are the countless birthday parties, baptisms, wedding celebrations, and buna on random days and times of the week. Of course our parents would bring us all together, all different ages, and we would all have such a blast! As wild as we would get, Teddy was always the calmest kid in the room, sticking to one spot and would just sit, shaking his head and smirking at all the things we would do.
As we’ve gotten older, many of us have spread apart... it’s been years since I’ve seen Teddy — but he always holds a special place in my heart. He gives such a great example of calmness, having a gentle spirit, and a loving heart, especially the love and adoration he had for Mulu and Sammy.
You will never be forgotten and we thank God for the time we had with you 🤍

Ted was amazing spirit, I remember when I met him in high school he was always in good spirits, never had any issues with anyone, he was always smiling and always knew how to make people around him laugh and smile. I wish I could of gotten a lot closer to Ted because he’s someone you would want to have around as a friend. He never put me down or ever said anything negative about me or anyone. He was a breath of fresh air and I was very fortunate to have known him. Ted was like a rare gem you don’t always run into someone like him. He will always be remembered

Man don't even know where to start. From day 1 been a solid guy. From working to playing always good to be around. It's the smile, the kindness, the positivity and all the crazy times we spent that I can never forget. If we playing 5 on 5 you are in my squad G.
People might not remember what you said but they always remember how you made them feel. There is nothing but good feeling I ever felt when I'm around you.
Rest In Paradise G, Blessings.

Teddy was always soft-spoken so much so that I have never seen him get angry. He was a very nice person, every time I saw him he was smiling. He was very thoughtful and funny too, my heart aches from this news and I’m sending my condolences to his family and friends. May god be with you all.

Ted, we known each other since kids, through good and bad. We used to crash parties together as kids, chase girls together, fight together. So many memories that wouldn't even fit in this thread. I remember when Sammy was born and you hated him at 1st lol but you ended up being a great big brother. Always had the funniest laugh, no matter what we laughed at, your laugh kept us laughing longer.
Can't believe you went out like this but everything happens for a reason, God's reason, and we're gonna do it all over again one day. I'm praying for you and the fam bro, stay peaceful cuzzo..

One time during Chirstmas, Teddy was having a rap battle with all the kids. It was so entertaining that I was dying of laughter. While I was recording him spitting the best bars of 2017 he noticed my phone recording and jokingly snatched it, that really was my favorite moment of Chirstmas 2017. Teddy you will be forever loved and I’m glad that I’m learning more about you through the people you impacted.

Teddy, you never failed to put a smile on my face. But not just mine. You had the power to make anyone and everyone laugh. I envy your positivity on life and will take it as a major lesson for the rest of my life. I have never seen you angry because that just wasn't who you were. You were always kind and generous. You always checked up on everyone and helped out even when you didn't have to. You should of had more time to make a bigger impact on this world but you still left a massive crater. Gone but not forgotten, your memory will live on in all of us. RIP brother.

Everytime I would see Teddy, I would always ask him if he's okay and if he ever needed anything to let me know. His response was always "I'm good Dan, always." Teddy was always someone who kept the biggest smile on his face and I'll never forget you. Rest in Peace, we will miss you.

We remember when Teddy was helping us move our furniture when we were moving and he told Bemint to watch our stuff that was outside and when Teddy came back he saw that someone was putting half of our stuff in their car thinking it was for sale. He was funny, thoughtful, present, and generous. Teddy will always have a place in our hearts.

Me and teddy went outside my house so he could teach me how to play football and he was very nice about it and helped me when I got something wrong and he made sure I was safe and we tossed the football back and forth for 2 hours until we went inside and watched some tv that was the best day of my life because I learned how to play foot ball and he was the very first and only person to teach me stuff like that

I remember one of my first days in America, Teddy asked if he could order a pizza and I said okay but I barely knew English or even knew how to order a pizza. So Teddy ordered the pizza through the phone and once the pizza came the delivery driver asked for the money. I told him that I didn't have any because I didn't know that I had to pay for it so Teddy brought this huge jar of coins for us to use. He poured it on the floor and we both counted up the coins to pay for the pizza while the delivery man was just standing there waiting. That was one of the funniest moments I had with Teddy and I will never forget it. I love and miss you Teddy.

Teddy it pains me to write this about you right now but I guess that’s our reality. I’m so sorry this happened to you and I’m even more sorry that we won’t get to have one more laugh with you. Teddy you were the light in so many peoples lives and I promise we will continue to pass along that light that you effortlessly radiated. We love you so much, and I pray that the angels accept you with open arms. 🤍

Teddy was my cousin but in reality he was my older brother and best friend. When I first came to this country with broken English and a big forehead he made sure I didn't feel like an outsider. He loved me and made sure everyone at tyrol hill knew I was family. I can't describe in words what he means to me. We slept on the same floor and ate from the same plate and no matter what he was going through in life he always made time for those he loved. I lost touch with a lot of family members but never with ted, he wouldn't let me. He would say "Matt, where you at now"? Then he would make sure to visit--to connect me to family to show love.
They say mourning is a way to express all the love we never verbalized and all the hugs we never gave so I want to take this moment to express as much as possible what he meant to me.He saw himself as a vessel for others. He always gave without expecting anything back. he showed me that no matter what was going on in life we are never too busy to live and to love. His love was authentic and generous. He thought me it was better to be open and get hurt than to be closed off and never experience love. I love you Teddy!

It was Christmas eve of 2017 and all of us were at my house to celebrate Christmas. Mickey and Teddy had the funniest “rap” battle towards each other. Teddy was such a funny person and had a beautiful soul. I’ll never forget the good times we had at family gatherings. We’ll love and miss you!
