Theodore Clyde Arbogast Obituary
Theodore Clyde Arbogast, 73, passed away on Friday, July 1, 2011, at St. Luke's Magic Valley Regional Medical Center in Twin Falls. He fought a very courageous battle with the complications of diabetes. His heart just stopped and he went peacefully. His loving family has been by his side throughout his struggles.
Ted was born on Dec. 31, 1937, in Burley, to goodly parents Theodore Fenton and Esther Wilhelmina Lallman Arbogast. He joined his brother, Richard Francis, and sisters Patricia Ann and Nancy Lou, and later his brother, Gerald Lee, came along. This was a loving family who loved to go fishing, camping, and hunting almost every weekend whenever possible. They had a trailer and cabin up the North Fork of the Lost River and loved the out-of-doors and God's beautiful creations.
Ted went all through school in Burley, and graduated from high school in 1956. On Valentine's Day in 1957, he left for basic training in the Army. He spent most of his time at Ft. Sill, Okla., in the Continental Army where they tested the equipment that was later purchased by the military.
He worked for his father who was a building contractor in Burley, and also for Price & Henderson Gas Station, Ore-Ida Foods, and the Amalgamated Sugar Company, where he retired.
On June 19, 1958, Ted married his sweetheart, Lorna Karen Rasmussen. They were later sealed together in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple. They have been blessed with three children, Kathleen K "Kandy," Jeffrey C. "Jeff," and Gregory T. "Greg."
In 1967, the family moved to Southern California so Ted could go to computer school. In 1979, the entire family returned back to God's country – Burley, and back to fishing, hunting, camping and family.
Ted was an active member of the LDS Church. He worked with the Scouting program, the youth, and in various other callings. Currently, he was serving as the Star 1st Ward building facility coordinator.
He is survived by his sweetheart of 53 years, Lorna K. Arbogast; his children, Kathleen K. (Randy) Barksdale, and Jeffrey C. (Diana) Arbogast; a daughter-in-law, Sherry Arbogast; his grandchildren, Larry Theodore (Desi) Barksdale, Karen Lynn and Debra Michelle Barksdale, Tonya Short, James Michael Wallace, Judy (Landon) Wigginton, Kristen Hardy and Bryn Hardy; his great-grandchildren, Crissa, Lizabeth, and LaShe Hatch, Jullian Short, Brenden and Cassandra Wallace, Gregory Preston and Lucas Theodore Barksdale, the little girl that Grandpa was waiting for to arrive in September, and Joshua Michael Wigginton; his sisters, Patricia Arbogast, Nancy Lou Howard, and Jean Stelly; one brother, Gerald Lee Arbogast; a sister-in-law, Donna Arbogast; and many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
Ted was preceded in death by his parents; one son, Gregory T. Arbogast; a brother, Richard Francis Arbogast; a sister-in-law, Sandi Arbogast; and three great-grandchildren, Francisca, Craig Jr., and Dakota Short.
The family expresses their appreciation to the health care personnel at Divita Dialysis, Minidoka Home Health, and to his doctors and nurses at St. Luke's in Twin Falls.
The funeral will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, July 6, at the Star LDS Church, 100 S. 200 W., Burley, with Bishop Chris Seibold officiating. Burial will be in Gem Memorial Gardens.
