Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us everyday.
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed, and very dear.

Theron was a devoted father and mediocre fisherman. He could often be found at the lake trying to reel in the first fish of the season, a coveted prize in which Theron often won, and exercised his bragging rights regularly. This year his two-year-old daughter took the prize, much to Theron’s displeasure. He loved being silly with his kids and any excuse to get the family together. He lived life to the fullest and his comedic timing and witty comments could always make you laugh. Theron will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him.
The family requests that you bring a card with something you would like to share about Theron along with a photo of you and Theron together, so the memories may be preserved to share with his children. This might include a funny story, favorite character trait, or classic Theron one liner.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to the family for the children’s education:

Lori,
I just found out about the passing of your husband. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. If you need anything please reach out. I love you and I’m sorry for your loss.
Yes, I knew Theron when he attended the second grade at St Hugh School in Lyons.
I was a ‘student teacher’ under the guidance of Ms Debbie Kripple,
I do remember Theron as being a very good student and a joy to have in class.
He must have made a good impression because I just never forgot ‘this little boy’.
Sad that the Lord took him so early in his life … God bless his family and all those who were a positive part of his life.
