Theodore Pfeifer

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our son, Theodore ‘Teddy’ John Pfeifer. Teddy came into the world early on January 26th, 2025. Teddy passed away peacefully in the loving arms of his parents, Jacob and Emily, on February 26th, 2025.

Born at just 13.75 ounces, Teddy displayed a tenacious will to live. Though his time here was short, he made a huge impact – capturing the love of so many. Teddy was incredibly tough, overcoming countless obstacles and beating the odds on more than one occasion.

He personified the meaning of his name: ‘God's Gift’. We believe that Teddy came into our lives for a reason. He will forever be with us, like a handprint on our hearts. Because we knew him, we have been changed for good.

Teddy's family would like to thank the medical staff at Truman University Health Hospital and Children's Mercy Hospital Kansas City who provided exceptional care to sweet Teddy and his entire family.

Teddy: you are loved beyond all measure. A tiny miracle, our priceless treasure. Sweet dreams dear Teddy, we love you so.

Private services were held in Rogers, AR on March 7th.

He is survived by his parents Jacob and Emily, Grandparents John and Jean Pfeifer of Lawrence, KS and Joe and Kathy Farnan of Rogers, AR. Uncles and Aunts: Clayton Pfeifer, Reed Pfeifer, Jack Pfeifer, Nolan (Dana) Farnan, and Mary Claire (Dalton) Gleghorn.
