Borgstedte

On Oct. 9, 2024 Theodore William (Ted William) Borgstedte, III passed away at the age of 55.

He was born on May 10, 1969, to Ted and Linda (Reddehase) Borgstedte in Houston. On June 29, 1969, Ted was baptized at First United Methodist Church in Brenham.

Ted was preceded in death by his grandparents, Ted and Thekla (Lauter) Borgstedte and Melvin and Wilma (La-Beth) Reddehase; Uncles, Authur Steele, Larry Schilling, Douglas Reddehase; and Aunt, Carolyn (Reddehase) Loesch; cousins, Laura Beth Schilling and Philip Loesch.

He is survived by his parents, Ted and Linda (Reddehase) Borgstedte; brother and sister-in-law, Dr. Thomas and Dr. Allyson (Farlow) Borgstedte, and their children, Victoria and Thomas, Jr.; brother and sister-in-law, Robert and Kathryn (Oliver) Borgstedte, and their children, Keaton and Dashiell; his aunts, Mary Steele, Terri Schilling and Maud Ann Reddehase; his second mother and Thomas’ mother-in-law, Eileen Farlow, his uncles, Dale Borgstedte and Elroy Loesch; as well as a number of cousins and friends. Ted loved his family dearly and kept up with them frequently. For example, when the policeman in Dallas was shot and killed, he knew that his cousin, Chris, was a policeman in Dallas, and was very concerned that it was Chris, but it wasn’t.

Ted was a member of the First Presbyterian Church and choir, and recently had been confirmed at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. He participated in Special Olympics from a youngster and helped establish the Ted Borgstedte award for La Grange Special Olympic athletes who placed at the Texas State Meet. He attended for a number of years, the Muscular Dystrophy Association Summer Camp and was a graduate of the La Grange High School class of 1989.

Ted was loved and cared for by the nursing home staff at Care Inn, Dr. Wes Blackwell, La Grange Family Clinic staff, and Kenmar Residential Facility for many years.

Ted was a charmer. He was born with clubbed feet and had other orthopedic issues and always charmed the hospital staff~ so he got extra special treatment.

Ted loved playing video games and watching classic movies. He loved all types of music. He took guitar lessons and made a lot of noise. He could read a map better than most people.
