Edward B. (Ted) Kibble of Seattle, passed away in the early morning hours of Tuesday, April 30, 2019 at his home in Palm Desert, California surrounded by his family. He was 78. Preceded in death by his wife of 50 years, Carol J. Kibble, and his brother, Joe Kibble, Ted is survived by his wife, Judy Johnson and his children Cara (Pat) Moon; Beth (Larry) Feist; and Katie (Ryan) Gamaunt; grandchildren Alicia; Kaylie; Madi; Mariah; Luc and his great-grandson, Atticus; as well as Steve (Deanna) Kepl; Tim (Lynn) Kepl; Bob Kepl and grandchildren Elizabeth, Kylie, Rachel, Lucas and Nicole. Ted is also survived by his brother Jim and sister-in-law Carol Kibble of Seattle.

Ted was born to Doris and Bruce Kibble in Seattle on May 11, 1940 and graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1958. His fond childhood memories of visiting his grandparents in Bellingham led him to attend Western Washington College his freshman year. He graduated from the University of Washington in 1962 and immediately began his career as a life insurance agent at Equitable of Iowa. Along with Arnie Prentice, Ted cofounded Kibble & Prentice in 1972. Now a subsidiary of USI holdings, KPI began as a small firm offering life insurance and estate and business succession planning, as well as private client services.

Ted was generous with his time and expertise serving on numerous boards in the Greater Seattle Area including Chairman at Pacific Crest Savings Bank, SPU Board of Trustees, the SPU Foundation Board and the NW Kidney Foundation. He considered many of his clients, colleagues and their families among his most cherished friends. He lived life to the full and enjoyed skiing, sailing and traveling the world with dear friends and family and will surely be missed.

A celebration of his life will be held on June 25th at 1:00 pm at University Presbyterian Church 4540 15th Ave NE, Seattle, WA.

What a gentle man...I came to know Ted and Judy when I was luckily chosen to help them re-locate to their present home in Edmonds...what dear people...and what a dear man. Not knowing him for long...but it doesnt take long to become a friend of Ted's . . . I will miss his warm smile and twinkle always. My heart is with Judy and the family.

I'm so sorry to hear about your father. I have great memories of him while visiting your View Ridge house growing up. He always called me "Kendall Susan" even though Susan was not my middle name :-) He was always trying to make us laugh and quick to start a conversation. I remember feeling pretty cool riding in his Jaguar when he dropped me and Beth off at LVR soccer practices. I'm very sorry for your loss, my heart goes out to you all.

Ted was a real gentleman, a loving husband, father and grandfather, friend and mentor to many. His strength and belief in the Lord helped him through many challenges with his health but he never lost his sense of humor and was always pleasant to others. My sympathy is with all his family and friends. He has left a strong loving legacy and will be sincerely missed.

I met Ted the summer of his freshman year of college -- he was dating my best friend, Carol. He was a tall, lanky, 19 year-old likable kid still with some growing up to do. His smile always accompanied by twinkling eyes. He was authentic, he spoke with thought, his teasing humor was done quietly, one had to listen carefully. His energy was boundless, his interests limitless. The caring & giving of himself towards others was just who he was. He was a man of integrity & humility. He also was a wise & persuasive man, as he was able to convince two extraordinary women to marry him -- Carol, 50 1/2 years together, raising three lovely daughters . . . . then was blessed to find Judy, 'Judy-Jo', in the twilight of his life, having five wonderful years together. Rest well, my friend, I will miss you.

I remember Ted bringing his entire family up to Stevens Pass to learn to ski with the Ski Laufer Ski School. He was so taken with us and what we did for students that he became a cadet instructor helping us teach students to ski. He really enjoyed spending time with his family in the mountains. I am not sure his daughters shared his affection for skiing, especially on those rare rainy days, but they were always there with him. My sympathy to all of his family for your loss. Remember the fun you had as teenagers skiing with him when you celebrate his life

I worked with Ted for over 20 years through the Berger and Bridges Families. He was the most sincere, hard working gentleman and I learned a lot from him. I will miss our conversations regarding business but most of all our personal chit chat. He truly is an inspiration to me and my family. He will be missed.
