Ted Claude Davey, age 62, of Salt Lake City, UT passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, August 28, 2022. Born in Salt Lake City, UT, he was the beloved son of the late Claude “Eddie” and Cheryl Roskelley Davey. During his younger years, Ted could be found running around with his cousins Scott, Terry, Danny and his brother, Tod. With his outgoing personality, he met new friends everywhere he went. As Ted grew older, he became very close to Roger, Terry Eng, and Kevin. He had a special relationship with each of them.

Ted was very proud of his siblings Debbie, Cindy, Yvonne, and Tod; and had a close bond with all of them. He knew he could always lean on them in a time of need.

Ted had a variety of hobbies and was good at countless things. He was a devoted hunter and fisher and valued sharing those interests with his son, brother, and the rest of the family. He had a passion for riding and working on motorcycles with Zack, Tod, Ron Sine, and numerous close friends. He was also an avid skier and looked forward to the winter snow. He adored spending time with his grandchildren. Watching his face light up while in the presence of his grandchildren was priceless. Ted had a wonderful relationship with each one of them and loved them very much.

Ted had an amazing work ethic and spent most his life working as a utility/commercial and private arborist. He was extremely personable and a great salesperson. He often would recruit family members to assist with side jobs to teach them the same work ethic he had. He loved educating and demonstrating his creative skills to his kids and grandkids in the art of trimming trees and landscaping.

Ted had a “heart of gold” and would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. He was one of a kind and will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure to know him.

Ted was preceded in death by his parents, Eddie and Cheryl and his sister, Cindy Davey Riggs.

Ted is survived by his children, Zack (Stephanie) Davey, Patricia (Eli) Davey-Martinez, Elizabeth Davey; sisters, Deborah Mark, Yvonne Davey; brother, Tod Davey; grandchildren, Taylor Davis, Gavin (Maci) Davey, Hayley Davey, Lyjah Fritz, Elisha Martinez, Taneil Davey, Tobin Kilgrow, Eli Jr. Martinez, Denali Lester; many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews & friends. Ted is also survived by his former wife, Jeanette Victoria Millward.

Dear Brother,

I am sitting here in a puddle of tears and thinking of you. I often reflect back to the days growing up. We had a strong bond through those years. Mom told me you always used to call me mom when you were young. You would always run to me when you needed help and were in trouble. Memories of View Street when I would make us mud pies on my make believe stove. Or growing up and going to school. I remember your kindergarten teacher at Emerson. We were to busy to go in when the bell rang playing marbles in the sand. She come out and took you by the ear and marched you in the building. It always would break my heart when someone would get cross with you. Through the years we remained close but I was ahead of you in the Jr High and High School we were old enough to do our own thing by then. I mentioned a few that stood out with me and there are so many more. Ted, I know if you could have controlled your Alcohol you would have. I believe it is a sickness and you really had no control over the urge and dependency of drinking. It comforts me to know you know you don't have to fight the beast anymore, and I know you are at peace. Brother you were and will always hold a special place in my heart. I sure do miss you! Give that sweet man of mine a hug from me. We will meet again, Love from your Big Sis
