Ted J. Warner
1929 - 2014
Early Life: Ted was born on March 2, 1929, in Ogden, Utah, the son of George Wayne and Cecelia Poorman Warner.
Life's Work | Service | Interests: On June 19, 1953, Ted and Doris Maybelle Stroud were married in the Salt Lake Temple. They were together for 61 years. Ted served in the United States Army for three years during the Korean War as a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He studied at Weber College, University of California at Berkeley, and Brigham Young University. He earned a Doctorate in History from the University of New Mexico. He joined the history faculty of BYU in 1962, specializing in the Spanish Borderlands of the American Southwest. In 1968, he traveled to Seville, Spain, to study and translate the 18th century journal of Father Francisco Atanasio Dominguez. The Dominguez-Escalante expedition team established The Old Spanish Trail, an overland route from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to the Catholic mission at Monterey, California. For many years, Ted donned the robes of the Franciscan monk to dramatize a first-person account of “The Forgotten Friar.” His long service as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, began with baptizing his father, serving as a branch president, high council member and counselor to several bishops, including the Quatro Caminos Branch in Madrid, Spain, and his ward in Provo’s Oak Hills Stake. After retiring from BYU in 1994, he and Doris served missions to Nauvoo, Illinois, and Madrid, Spain. He taught English at a university in Jinan, China. He also served a two year mission facilitating the BYU China Teacher’s Program. Ted was a popular program director and tour guide on numerous trips to Europe with BYU’s Study Abroad Program and Young Ambassadors. Perhaps his favorite was leading an annual trip to New Mexico to experience the Santo Domingo Pueblo Corn Dance. Many friends, relatives and neighbors would join the caravan of cars every August. Ted repeated many sayings his family called “Tedderisms.” These included jokes, phrases, songs, words of wisdom, and nicknames. Indeed he referred to himself as “Tedder the Gooder and Better.” Professor Ted J. Warner, of Brigham Young University, died peacefully on July 7, 2014. He was a beloved husband, father and brother. He left a legacy of scholarship, leadership and friendship.
Family Message: "We say goodbye to Tedder, the Gooder and Better as he goes to heaven to lead his greatest tour. No doubt he is saying another Tedderism: 'Please enjoy.' "
Survived By: His wife of 61 years, Doris; his three daughters: Kathryn "Katy" Warner (Steven) Christiansen, of Salt Lake City, Utah; Cecelia "Cissy" Warner (David) Burnard, of Forest Grove, Oregon; and Carolyn Warner (Tom) Taylor, of Redmond, Washington; eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
