Theodore Turnbull Obituary

Theodore (Ted) T. Turnbull, III

Ted Turnbull, age 63, died on November 11, 2014 in Monticello, Florida, after a decades-long battle with Multiple Sclerosis.

A native of Tallahassee, he was born January 26, 1951, and attended Leon High School. Ted was an avid outdoorsman with a special love for duck hunting on Lake Miccosukee.

He is survived by his sister, Susan T. Brown (Keith), his son Tiff Turnbull, nephew Zack Brown, niece Megan Brown, and numerous aunts and cousins. He was preceded in death by his father T. T. Turnbull, Jr., mother Connie Yancey, and beloved brother Andy.

The family wishes to express its everlasting gratitude and love to the staff at Brynwood Center in Monticello, for their loving and diligent care of Ted for the last 13 years of his life. Special thanks to Marie Hagan, the 'thorn in his side' that he loved unconditionally.

No services are planned; a family memorial will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to do so may make a contribution in Ted's name to the local chapter of the National MS Society.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

My deepest condolences to Ted's family. Ted and I were class-mates in the Leon High School Class of 1969, and I have fond memories of some of our crazy times together.
May he rest in peace.

On behalf of my mom, Frances Harmon, I want to say how sorry I am. She ran the multiple sclerosis society here in town was a good friend of Ted's and your mom, Connie. Mom passed away back in 2007 but I know she would like to be able to say how sorry she is as well for both Connie and Ted's passing.

Andy, our deepest respect for you and your family. Jim & Bob Kendrick.
