William Teuton Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Cheney Funeral Chapel - Cheney on Feb. 17, 2026.
William Thomas Teuton, Jr., passed away on January 10, 2026, at the age of 77.

Rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Air Force, routine, duty, and devotion were pillars of his life in and outside of the service. He was a dedicated son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather.

Bill had a dry sense of humor and an infectious laugh that could bring people to tears as they laughed along with him. He enjoyed good coffee, all the sweets, the San Francisco 49ers, The Muppets, reading, and music.

Outside of his family, Bill's greatest love was for his animals. Doting on his pets brought him great happiness and comfort. With his passing, we know he has found the same peace he had while petting one of his beloved pets.

A service for William will take place on February 27, 2026, at 2:30 pm at Washington State Veterans Cemetery, 21702 W Espanola Rd, Medical Lake, WA 99022

Memorials can be made in William's name to your local humane society.
