Teddy George Kirkpatrick (99 years) born July 18th, 1923, passed
peacefully into the arms of his Heavenly Father on February 10th, 2023.
Ted was born in Highland Park, Michigan growing up in Dearborn where
he attended Fordson High School and the University of Michigan. He
served his country during World War II in the Army Air Corps as a Staff
Sergeant waist gunner and flight engineer on B-17s with the 379th Heavy
Bomb Group out of Kimbolton, England. Ted retired after a 38 year career
with Shell Oil Company as an architect and environmental engineer. His
tenure with Shell took his family from Detroit to Chicago and finally to
Houston in 1973.
Ted was a lifelong member of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. He
helped design, build and grow a new church in Detroit and served on
numerous lay committees through the years. He knew Jesus Christ as his
personal Lord and Savior.
Ted enjoyed staying physically active and loved being outdoors; he was a
life-long hunter and golfer. He was always generous with his time and
money and his later years saw him volunteering with the Honor Flight
Program, raising money to send veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces to
Washington, D.C. to visit their memorials as a fitting thank you for their
service to country. He was active as an honorary Colonel in the
Commemorative Air Force out of Conroe, TX.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 65 years, Barbara J.
Kirkpatrick, parents Charles (Theodore) R. Kirkpatrick and Nelma C.
Sloan, and brother Lloyd. He is survived by his sons Kurt and wife Kitt,
Scott and wife Tonya, Paul and wife Wendy, grandchildren Kirsten Sokol,
Kerri Reeves, Kelsey Neidert, Trent Kirkpatrick, Camille Koch, Autumn and
Robert Kirkpatrick, and 12 great grandchildren, all for whom he showed
great love and affection and who will cherish his memory.

Home, 1400 W. Main, Tomball, TX 77375. Memorial service to be held
