He enjoyed cooking and preparing food for his family, playing cards, pool and fishing.

Surviving are his mother, Virginia; a sister, Leona "Sis" Becker, of Dubuque; his ex-wife, Patricia Thompson, whom he continued to love and remain close to; two sons, Theodore James "T.J." and Jesse, a daughter, Freedom, a stepson, Michael, and seven grandchildren, all of Colorado; and two special friends, Jim Mess and Rob Meling, who, although for a short time, shared a close friendship.

He was preceded in death by his father in 1968; and a daughter, Jody Kim, in 1972.

A Ted Heyne Memorial Fund has been established and memorials may be sent to Virginia at 2192 Orchard Drive, Dubuque.
