Ted H. Brackett

I am so sorry for your loss. He was such a good man. Kind, gentle, generous and so much more. Prayers for comfort for your family.

Every time I snap my fingers or hear someone else snap their fingers I will think about my friend and brother in Christ, Ted Brackett. Can't wait to see Ted on that glorious day when Jesus comes for us.

I was honored to have known Ted Brackett, a man of exceptional character. His steadfast consistency and generous spirit made him a beloved figure, never meeting a stranger. Ted's abiding love for the Lord was a shining example, and when Jesus returns, he will be among the righteous summoned to Heaven. Ted's departure will be deeply felt, and may God send Angels to bring comfort to Jeanette, Angela, Chad, family members, and friends during their time of sorrow.

Ted was an “always” person. Since I was a child it felt like Ted would just always be around and I hoped it would be that way. He brought so much love and light to the world and was one of my favorite people at church growing up. I remember one Christmas I was about 7 years old and he handed me a $20 bill. I was so excited and I went to dollar tree to buy everyone in my family Christmas presents that year. I’ll never forget how special that was to me. He was also the reason we got to go to olive garden haha. He’d gift our family olive garden gift cards and I remember sitting there with my fettuccine and breadsticks thinking how lucky we were that someone like Ted thought of us. He always told me no matter where we moved, he wanted to meet any boy I ever brought home and he’d make sure he was treating me right. It was so special to have him at my wedding. He will always be the teddy bear grandpa that loved Jesus more than anything and showed it by how he treated everyone around him. I know he will be so thrilled when Jesus wakes him up <3 I imagine he will say with a beaming smile “God is good all the time, and all the time God is good”

So saddened to hear of the passing of Ted. He was a wonderful man and friend to all and will be greatly missed. Praying for the family and friends not only today but in the days to come. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

There are no words to describe the the beautiful soul that is Ted. When I think of Ted, the word "love" is what I think of. I've always thought Ted was the personification of God's love for His children. As a young believer, Ted and Jeanette took my family under their wings right away. Treating us as if they had known my young family their entire lives. They would invite us over for Sabbath lunch and we so enjoyed Jeanette's cooking and the long conversations with them after lunch, and sometimes we stayed til dinner. And looking back now, we were young and dumb and surely overstayed our welcome each time, but they never once made us feel anything but welcome in their home. I will be forever thankful for the love and grace they showed us new believers. Later in life, Ted has consistently been there for my family. Calling or visiting, sending literature to me or delivering eulogies, regardless of how far he had to drive. my condolences to Jeanette, Angela, Chad and the rest of the family, and to the Morganton SDA Church family that I still hold in high regard. Ted is a true man of God, a good and faithful servant. May you rest from your labors for a little while until that wonderful day. Love and prayers, Crystal Street Merritt (formerly Crystal Howell)

Ted was always like a second father to me. My grandchildren looked up to him like a grandfather. They will always remember the nickname they gave him when they were very young. They used to call him the candy man because he would give them a vitamin C drop or a Lifesaver candy. He was a great brother in Christ and will be deeply missed. He was the first person to welcome me to the church when I started back in the 90's. He always made me and my family feel truly welcome and loved. Sleep in peace untill we see each other again in Heaven brother Ted. To the family you are in my heart, thoughts, and prayers.

Please know that we are thinking and praying for all of your family. We know that it’s not goodbye. It’s only until we see you again. 🤟🏽🙏🏼💜
