Theodore Dillworth was born in Detroit, Michigan on February 20, 1954, to Lois and David Dillworth. He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Sue Dillworth and brother, Steve Dillworth.
Theodore spent his early years in Germany before moving to California, where he graduated from Vanden High School in 1972. As a talented athlete, he played football and boxed in both Germany and California and was captain of the football team.

Theodore enjoyed early morning coffee, dancing his famous “Teddy dance” and spending time with his family. He faced health challenges later in life due to diabetes. Theodore will be deeply missed by his family and loved ones.
