Teodoro “Teddy” Enriquez De Asis, resident of Grande Prairie, AB, formerly of Red Deer, AB, passed away on Friday, December 27, 2024, at the Grande Prairie Regional Hospital, at the age of 74 years.

Teodoro De Asis was born and raised in the Philippines, where he built a strong foundation of love, faith and hard work. His journey took him to Saudi Arabia for work and later to Canada, where he found new opportunities at Olymel in Red Deer. In 2012, he retired to Grande Prairie, where he spent his later years surrounded by family and friends.

He was deeply devoted to his faith and served passionately in his music ministry at his church; a role he loved the most. A man of many joys, he loved singing karaoke, savouring sweet desserts, and sharing hearty meals with loved ones. His life was filled with music, laughter and adventure; whether it was travelling, camping, or boating. Above all, he cherished his time with his family and serving the Lord, embodying the heart and spirit of a truly good dad.

Teodoro was fondly known as Teddy, and was renowned for his incredible sense of humour, always making those around him laugh with his witty remarks and funny stories. He had a way of brightening any room with his warmth, love and playful nature. He could turn ordinary moments into cherished memories. Teddy was a man of deep faith; he loved the Lord and was devoted to serving God through powerful prayers and his dedication to the music ministry at his church. He valued his time with his family, blending humour, joy and love into every gathering. He leaves a legacy of laughter and heartfelt connections.
