"Ted" Theodore L Dominguez

“Ted” Theodore L. Dominguez, 77, of Ogden, Utah, passed away unexpectedly on June 24, 2024.

Ted was born on October 29, 1946, to Manuel Dominguez Jr. and Mary Dora (Montoya) Dominguez in Del Norte, Colorado. Ted attended Del Norte High School.

He entered the Army and received an honorable discharge. He started his career working for The Defense Depot of Ogden as an Inventory Specialist. From there he took pride in driving his Mack truck around the country. Later in his career he worked as a Security Officer with the Clearfield Job Corps, ran his own landscaping business, along with snow removal opportunities.

He loved spending time with friends and family. He was a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles and reveled in the dances and any opportunity he could to sing Happy Birthday to you in Spanish. Ted enjoyed gardening and being outdoors. Ted was very active in his church and loved attending Sunday Mass. Ted was not a man to be caught sitting but when he did it was to watch the Denver Broncos or the Utah Jazz play. Ted loved beautiful things including flowers in season, dressing to the nines, and the ladies. Ted loved a cold can of Pepsi on a hot day or a whiskey and Coke.
