Ted Westmoreland

Ted was born in Waco, Texas, but lived his life in Houston. He graduated from The Kinkaid School and The University of Texas, where he was a member of Phi Gamma Delta and The Texas Cowboys. He went on to graduate from the University of Houston School of Law and had a successful career as litigation attorney in the energy field. He had a big heart and gave generously of his time to the organizations that were meaningful to him. He served as a board member of the Trotter Family YMCA, the Teen and Family Services and was a former director of the Epilepsy Foundation. He was a member of the Texas Bar Association, The Houston Bar Association and an officer in The San Jacinto Chapter of The Sons of The Republic of Texas.

Ted was always active. He was an avid outdoorsman and especially enjoyed all of the activities and the time he spent with friends and family in Crested Butte, Colorado. He loved cycling and was preparing for his 6th MS 150 bike ride.

Ted never met a stranger. His unique sense of humor and compassion made all who knew him know that they were special to him. He loved and was loved by all of his friends and family. Ted is survived by his children, Jake and Marlee Westmoreland; his parents, Jim and Mary Sue Westmoreland; his sisters, Susan McConkey and her husband Scott and Laura DeVega and her husband Nelson. He was also adored by his four nieces and nephews, Greg and Shannon McConkey and Lila and David DeVega.
