Theodore Gianelo

1940 ~ 2025

Ted Gianelo, age 85, passed away on December 9, 2025, in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was born on November 6, 1940, in Brigham City, Utah, to Andy Gianelo and Luella Packs Gianelo.

Ted married the love of his life, Gina, in Las Vegas, Nevada, and together they shared 28 wonderful years of marriage. He had two children, Tammy and Kevin, whom he built countless cherished memories.

A hardworking and talented craftsman, Ted owned and operated T&G Upholstery for 31 years. He took great pride in his work, treating every project with care and dedication. Outside the shop, he found joy in restoring old cars, spending peaceful weekends at the cabin in Scofield, Utah, and fishing, a pastime that brought him both relaxation and happiness.

Ted will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His steady presence, warm heart, and the passion he poured into his work and hobbies leave a lasting legacy.

He is preceded in death by his parents, his daughter Tammy, and his granddaughter Shay.

In accordance with his wishes, no services will be held.
