Theodore R Turner III (Teddy) was born to Theodore R Turner Jr and Lethia Jean Brown in Omaha, Nebraska, December 11, 1959.

Teddy was preceded in death by his mother Lethia Jean Brown, stepmother Elma Jean Turner, grandmother Ira Mae Buckner and brother Anthony Turner.

He is survived by his daughter Kesha (Terrence) Green, Granddaughter Tarynn and grandson Jai Green all of Kansas City, MO; Mother of his only child and good friend Lorraine Smith-Johnson of Omaha, NE; Father Ted (Tammy) Turner of Kansas City, MO; Brothers Phillip (Edna) Turner of Waller, TX., David Turner of Alabama, Ronald Turner of Kansas City, MO; Sisters Karen Turner of Houston, TX and Suzanne Newell of Minneapolis, MN., as well as a host of nieces, nephews, other family and friends.

Teddy worked construction for years throughout Omaha and Kansas City, specializing in drywall and painting. He spent the last 10 years working as a manager in a neighborhood convenience store.

Teddy had a strong passion for fishing. His favorite fish to catch were crappie but he always said whatever was biting he liked catching. He could sit on the bank for hours waiting for those fish to bite. He also loved to hunt, rabbit, quail, duck, you name it he caught it. In his spare time Teddy enjoyed drawing and playing his guitar. He taught himself how to play and even wrote his own music. During football season, he was definitely excited ‘bout those Chiefs.

He enjoyed spending time with his family and he was most proud of being PopPop to his two grandchildren.

One of his favorite sayings was ‘I aint making no noise.’

    Continue to focus on the hope for all those who have fallen asleep in death. John 5:28, 29 speaks of an “hour when all those in the memorial tombs will his (Jesus) voice and come out” that hope is real and trustworthy. Our Love be with you all.

    So sorry to hear about your dad, Kesha. I wished I could have met him. I look forward to you introducing me to him after the resurrection takes place, when that “last enemy, death” is done away with as 1 Corinthians 15:26 says. We are praying for Jehovah to comfort all who are grieving the loss of your dad. ????

    Thank every one of you for your kind words and heartfelt sympathy. I love each of you with all my heart and I am so thankful for all of the comfort and support. Proverbs 17:17 says ‘a true friend shows love at all times. And is a brother who is born for times of distress.’ So thanks for being true friends and supporting me and my family through this difficult time.
