Ted Rhea Pyburn died peacefully with his loving family at his side

Ted graduated from Mullin High School, where he was an outstanding basketball player. After serving in The United States Army, Ted began his career at Gulf Oil Corporation. His family has lived in several locations including Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Houston where they have held their residence since 1961. Ted will be remembered as a loving Husband, Father, Grandpa, and a Smitch (a great friend). He worked and volunteered with the Pearland Little League for many years. He enjoyed visiting with his neighbors, watching the Houston Texans and the Texas Aggies, as well as cooking for his family on Sundays. Ted never met a person he did not like or would not help. His family will greatly miss his quick wit, great food, and his helping hand. He has joined people together in laughter and love by his daily emails. What an awesome gift he has given to all of us.
