Ted Ferguson

[lardca]

9/23/1946 - 4/28/2020.  This is Theodore Jack Ferguson also known as Dad, Ted, Teddy, and Grandpa.  He was a son, a brother, a father, a grandfather, a husband and an uncle. Our own five sons have grown into amazing men with amazing families of their own. His influences are part of them now.  Teddy was a gentle man with the softest heart and a caring soul. He cried during movies and had a smile that lit up his face.  The ocean and a surfboard were his greatest friends.  He was an entertainer in his soul. Music was one of his greatest loves. Ted sang,  played guitar and drums and loved being on stage. The memory of him playing drums with his fingers on the steering wheel while driving brings a smile to our faces.  Performing at La Bodega and at Lake Chapala Baptist Church and being in various stage productions were some of his greatest joys when we lived in Ajijic.  He was drawn to young people and served as a mentor not only to his grandchildren but to youth groups and youth sports.   We lost him but the memory of the life he lived surround us.  There is peace in that.  Ted is survived by his sons Brent, Brian, John, Josh and Travis as well as his ex-wife Linda Magel and 18 grandchildren.

Sounds like he was a wonderful man.  May he rest in peace.

Linda, 

So sorry (and shocked) to hear about Ted.  Condolences to the entire family.

You and Ted were the best neighbors (and friends) in Ajijic.  

Saludos.
