- Theodore D. Bass Obituary
Thomasville, North Carolina
August 4, 2018
Theodore Delano Bass Sr. was born 10/20/1934 to Emma Lou and Nicodemus Bass in North Carolina. He died suddenly and instantly Friday evening at 10:17 pm after being struck by a car crossing the street in Thomasville. He served in the military for many years and married his lovely wife Helen Hughes Bass in the early 50â??s. They traveled the world and started a family that rapidly grew over the next 10 years. These 5 wonderful children were born all over the world. Not a dull moment was had by anyone who was graced by his presence. Always the funny comedian, sarcastic, loud one in the room. He was the middle child, preceded in death by his older brother Billy Gray several years ago, his living beloved sister in law Frances and their 5 daughters, Cathy, Patty, Debbie, Cheri and Bethany. He also leaves behind his sister Kandye Bass, niece Danielle Matthews and his amazing daughters he adored (in his own way) Adrienne Dale (and husband Ricky Lambert), Marsha Lou Bass, Suzanna Bass Cumming, and of course his favorite and only son Theodore Delano Bass, Jr. (Teddy) and Christye Lynne preceded his death four years ago. Grandchildren: Ricky Dale and Amy Lambert, Jessica & Bryan Brown, Bobby and Stephanie Wade, Kaitlyn and Billy Ratliff, Justin Hardin, Jess Garner and Mary Adkins, Seth Alan and Brooke Cumming and Theodore David Bass. Great grandchildren: Easton and Dalton Lambert, Gavin, Gabriella and Gentry Brown, Jaxton Leon and Kolton Gene Wade, Carmen, Ian, Adalynne and Harper Ratliff. He lived a full life, by far wasnâ??t perfect by most standards but parented the only way he knew how and for that we are grateful. He was known by many, by many names Theodore, Ted, Sam, Daddy, Grandpa Ted, Pawpaw, and a few which cannot be mentioned, and yes they all got his attention when he had his hearing aids in and turned up to 100% and not off!! He leaves us all with fond, funny and foul memories leaving no one out of harms way from his delivery, but in almost all cases meaning NO harm. Those who really knew him understood in the depths of his heart he meant well and loved his family. May his heart, mind and soul finally be at peace as he now takes flight to another dimension of life. In the flesh we will miss him, but trusting in God's grace may his legacy of love and passion for life and the good memories live on in each of us forever and ever.
