Theodore Hether
Theodore Franklin Hether, 89, born December 3, 1933, in Brown City, Michigan to Nicholas and Loretta Hether, left this earth on Saturday, March 4, 2023, to join his parents and siblings Lawrence, Margaret, Leatha, and Gene.
He worked and lived most of his life in Sheridan. In 1952 he met and married Beverly Swinyer. From this union was born a son Francis.
Ted retired from his job with Barker Brothers Trucking where he drove a truck. He also worked for Kiewit for a short time.
Ted loved going back to Michigan and visiting with his family there. He had numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and brothers, and sisters that lived there.
Ted loved living in Sheridan and was often seen sitting on the benches on Main St. watching people in his tattered brown cowboy hat and boots. He took great joy in being told that he looked like Buffalo Bill Cody especially when he wore his leather fringed jacket.
He is survived by his son Francis (Marla) Hether, 3 grandchildren Corey Hether, Angelina Melville, and Danielle Turk, 10 great-grandchildren, and 7 great-great-grandchildren.
There will be no service per his request, he will be cremated and go to the mountains he loved so much this summer.
Francis and Marla would like to thank Big Horn Rehabilitation Center for the wonderful care they took with him while he resided there.
Online condolences may be written at www.kanefuneral.com. Kane Funeral Home has been entrusted with arrangements.

I”ve known Ted since I was a teenager. Where Co. Kitchen is (was) used to be a gas station with a small cafe that had booths and jute boxes on each table. Jay Sims was he cook and he and Ted were great friends. Spent a lot of time there as a teenager. He was always friendly to everyone. Had a lot of jokes to tell. Will miss seeing him around now. RIP Ted
