Our husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, and friend departed his earthly home on December 16, 2004 to dwell with his heavenly family.

Ted was born to goodly parents, William and Rhoda Bushman Oborn, in Fort Union.

He married Shirley Nelson in the Manti LDS Temple on August 16, 1950.

He was educated at Jordan High School, Salt Lake Community College, and the University of Utah. Ted was employed at Amoco for over thirty years.

Ted was a High Priest in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served faithfully in various ward and stake positions. His favorite calling was as scoutmaster. He enjoyed working with the youth and served in different capacities in the Boy Scout organization for many years.

Ted's community service consisted of working in Little League and Western Boys Baseball Organizations. He also served as a volunteer in the Salt Lake School District. He served his country honorably in the United States Special Forces.

Ted had many interests and hobbies, including fishing in Alaska and Mexico with his son-in-law. His passion was boating and fishing with his son and grandsons. Shopping with his daughter was high on his list of priorities also. He enjoyed entertaining relatives and friends at the family cabin in Timberlakes.

Ted was an avid reader of Church and western United States history and liked traveling to historical monuments and museums. Most of all, he loved his family and they loved and respected and admired him. The many family trips and cruises will leave us all with wonderful memories of our Papa.

Ted loved and was loved, and no man can ask for more.

Ted is survived by his wife, Shirley, of Murray; daughter, Staci Jo Sain (Mark), of Holladay; and son, Sean Oborn, of South Jordan. He is also survived by grandchildren, Jennifer, Jessica, Brittany, Michael, Aaron, Tyler, and Bronson. Other survivors include four great-grandsons, Ryan, Sabastian, Christian, and Colton. Also, a foster sister: Evonna Montalvo (Monty) of West Jordan, sister-in-law, Joan Oborn, of Sacramento, California; and three nephews, also of California. He is preceded in death by his parents, brother, Louis; and two grandsons, Chance and Niocholaus.

We would like to thank the staffs at LDS Hospital and Highland Care Center for the wonderful care and concern they gave to Ted and our family the past few weeks.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, December 21, 2004 in the Mountain View Memorial Estates Mortuary Chapel, 3115 East Bengal Boulevard (7800 South). A visitation with the family will be held one hour prior to the services on Tuesday.
Interment at Mountain View will follow the services.
