Theodore Wattles Obituary
Ted is survived by his devoted wife Vicki of 54 years, his daughter Melissa, his son Dominic, and his two beloved granddaughters Brooke and Bella. He also leaves behind his brother Mike, his two sisters Jill and Tina, and many nieces and nephews who cherished him dearly.
Known for his goofy sense of humor and big heart, Ted had a gift for making people laugh and feel at ease. He enjoyed playing his harmonica, cooking meals to share with his family, and most of all riding his Harley. His spirit and love of life touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
Ted was a loyal friend, a devoted husband and father, and a proud grandfather. He will be remembered for the joy he brought into every room, the stories he told, and the love he gave freely. Though he will be deeply missed, his spirit will live on in the hearts of his family and all who loved him.
Ted's memorial will be held in Healdsburg at St. John's Catholic Church on September 30th, 2025 at 12 p.m.
Reception following at the Wright Residence @1300 North Fitch Mt Rd Healdsburg.
