Theodore Carl “Ted” Rude passed away November 15, 2018, the day after his 61st birthday.

Though he has had a long hard-fought battle with his health, this was far sooner than expected. In the end his struggles proved to be too much for his heart and lungs and he passed away peacefully.

We will be honoring the life, legend, stories and trials of Ted, on Saturday, December 1, at noon at the Lake McDonald Community Hall, SE 150th St., Renton.

Please join to share stories, pictures and reconnect with friends of days gone by.

The family has set up a GoFundMe Memorial page, www.gofundme.com/in-memory-of-theodore-carl-rude.

All memorial donations will be used by Ted’s son Dakota, to cover the end of life expenses he is now facing with Ted’s passing.
