Theodore Solomos Obituary

Happy Birthday Teddy! I still be reminiscing about you and Enrique, haha. Hoopin, chillin... you was a good dude. Nothing but good memories! You may be gone, but you´ll never be forgotten. Rest in Paradise Brother

Happy Birthday Teddy! You would have been 37 tomorrow. I believe you can hear us when we talk to you and miss you Please visit me and our mom soon in our dreams so we could see you!! I Love ❤ you and will miss you always!

Teddy, For as many years as you we’re alive you’ve been gone. It still feels the same, it still hurts the same, we miss you more than words can describe. I love you so very much and will always miss you and your presence and sense of humor. So many people knew you or knew of you and will always remember the mark you left on this world. Hope to see you again soon in my dreams.- Your big sister ♥

Teddy, it's crazy bro how I've met so many people that knew you from Morton hs. I've gotten close to a lot of your friends. They all tell me how much of a great guy you were. I'm sure you and me woulda gotten close too. Miss you and Enrique bro. RIP.

My sweet brother, I so wish I could hear your voice, hug you and kiss you, and just talk like we used to......I will always want these things. We will always miss you, your presence, your smile, and that will never change. I love you ❤ -Noula

I know you're gone but never forgotten!! RIP

What's up Teddy sorry I didn't write on this sooner I barely found out about this site. It's crazy how it's been 13 years since this happened to us. I pray for you and Enrique and your families every night. I wish I could go back in time and change everything about that night. But I know you're in a better place now. Everyone tells me I have two angels looking over me. It's still very hard to be left here without you and Enrique here. We were really enjoying that summer and me and you started getting close. Tho we had know each other years before but never really hung out til that summer. I know you and Enrique are together in heaven now.
Teddy, I'll forever have you in my heart and share the memories that we had together.
I miss you and love your bro.
RIP

Happy Birthday my old friend! I'm still missing you and thinking about you always. ??

Today is twelve years Teddy, twelve years since I heard your voice, twelve years since I saw your face, and twelve years since my heart felt whole and unbroken. I miss you every day, I think of you numerous times throughout the day, and I've felt this way since that night. This empty feeling of sadness in my gut, this feeling that someone is missing during special moments, this sadness with no depths.... You were more than a brother, you were like my baby too. I watched over you and fed you, and went on your field trips, and got your clothes ready for you and we laughed and argued and cried... I will always be grateful that I had what time with you that I had. But I will forever miss you and want you to be here in our lives, I will always look for signs, and remember your smile and laugh and expressions. I will always want time to go back and bring you home to us again. My dear baby brother, you are and always will be in my heart and on my mind. But most of all you are loved and missed by all that knew you...

I wish you were here to complete our family. We all miss you terribly. Hope you can see and hear me talking to you. I love you. We all do. More than anything.

Always on my mind!! Miss u so bad. I gave our nephew Nico a Teddy Bear of yours and he calls him Teddy. He took him home and sleeps and cuddles with him. I think of u every time I see him doing that.

I thought of you today, Teddy. You will always be remembered.

Your like the wind... I cant see you but I can feel you. I Love you so much, and no words can express how much I miss you. I wonder what you would be doing if you were still here, I wonder if Joanne's son Nicholas would call you boy too, and the other day I showed him your picture in your room and he did!!! I asked him who was in the picture and he said boy, and then no, and then boy. He's so amazing and I know that you know that. Little Gianna is a handful too, if she gets hungry watch out!! I wish you were here so we could talk about this stuff and laugh together like we used to do.

Just wanted to day that it doesn't feel like you've been gone almost 11 years... But at the same time all of us get the rude reminder that we have not seen you since then... That we will not casually run into you on the street or that our children would somehow end up going to the same school. <-- little things like those that, that I share with our other friends sadden me at times when I remember you. I'll always be thankful for making this outsider feel welcome. I also pray that when my daughter goes to school that she will find a kind soul like you to make her welcome if ever she be made fell an out cast by the "cool kids" :)

Teddy,

I think of you everyday and your smirk will never be forgotten. I wish we where still together little bro. We have little neices and nephews that would've loved you as much as we still do. I miss you and so do all of our friends and family. I know you are there just wish I could see you and feel you next to me. I love you.

Teddy,
its been 10 years since God called you up to heaven but I often think of you and how you made me laugh and how we bickered when you called me a "Chach". When my daughter was like 3 I had your memorial pic up in my room she asked mom "who is that?"I said our guardian angel... shes now 8 & till this day she always remembers Teddy the guardian angel. I truly believe you are watching over all your family & friends! Thanks Teddy. Miss you dearly!

Teddy... you would've been 28 this year and getting ready to have a wonderful summer, maybe with your girlfriend, or going hunting in the winter months w/ Niko....This hole in my heart just wont close up!!! I miss u.

Happy Birthday Teddy! I miss you and think of you all the time.

God I wish you were here right now so we could just talk. I wish so many things for you.

Teddy not a day goes by that I dont think of you. I know you are with me and guide through my daily struggles. I think about how different things would be with you here with me and try to hold my tears back because your not.I love you and you are truely my gaurdian angel.

To anyone and everyone who reads this. I would like to say thank you for remembering Teddy and coming back to this site to read and write our thoughts. Today I recieved horrible news that one of my commanding officers at work suddenely lost his son. The circumstances are unknown to me at this time and I'm at a complete loss of words.... I just spoke to him last week. He was always so kind and respectful. He caried this certain gentlemanly aura about him that I'm certain he got from his father. I am not a parent and I cant possibly know the loss of a child but I know the loss of a sister. I know that in the beginning your completely numb, nothing anyone says matters. Seeing his room they way he left it is your only comfort and in a way helps you hang on to the idea that he is here. I started to talk to my brother in there in hopes that I would get a response. I now hold every picture of him as if it were gold. I would call his cell phone in hopes of hearing his voice on the voicemail message. But, as the months went by I never felt peace. You never do. My parents still ache for him deep within their hearts as do we. The only thing one can do is hope that there is a heaven and pray that one day we will be reunited again. Faith is one of the first things to go when you lose someone because you might feel that why would god let this happen? why so young? they had their whole life ahead of them! why not me? and a whole lot of what if this or what if that's! The pain never goes away. I can only say this, It becomes a little easier to bear as time goes by but always, ALWAYS!!! still there. Please hear me when I say, dont lose any moments with your loved ones and tell them that you love them every chance you have, while we are still here. Life has a mysterious way of doing things and our time together is limited. My deepest deepest condolences to my DC in this difficult time of sorrow. Keeping their memories alive in our hearts is the only solace we have---

Yesterday was Teddy's 6 year memorial and I want to thank everyone who showed up. The years just keep flying by and the pain is still here. Hopefully one day we'll be able to see eachother again, that's the only thought that keeps me going. -
Teddy,
Our mom, Joanne, Niko and I miss you so much and always will. We love you more than words can describe. -----Noula

Hey Teddy... I cant believe all this time has passed... I still can't get over you being gone. I think about you all the time, and miss you. We all do... I know you look down and watch over everyone, probably making fun of some of the stuff we do! You're in my daily thoughts and I miss you!

Hey Teddy,

Sorry I couldn't make it to your memorial this past weekend. My little cousin was born 3 years ago on the 28th, so she's always having her bday parties on the same day. But, I promise I will make a trip to the cemetery soon to visit even tho I know ur always listening to me when I talk to you anyways!

I miss you Tedster! We all do!

For anyone that might view this Teddy's 5 year Memorial is coming up the 28th day of July and we his family would like to invite his friends and classmates over to our house for a memorial cookout in Teddy's honor. You all know where we live and if not please contact me and I'll give you directions. [email protected] Thanks Athina. Love you Teddy.

I wish that there would be some kind of miracle machine that could turn back time to have not let you go out that night. I dont even know what to do anymore without you here taking your insulin which is still in the refridgerator where you left it. or making you food, or washing your clothes , or even fighting with you, ANYTHING.

Teddy, I thought of you today as I do frequently. I can't believe it has been four years! Our family misses you very much and keeps you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Teddy,

I wonder if you read these emails where you are, If you do you know that everyone that writes to you on here truly loves and misses you and continues to write to you even after all this time has passed. I know you know how we feel and for some odd reason I still feel your presence at home. I still have your room the same way it was except there are alot of your pictures everywhere. I hope you were happy with the memorial I did for you. It makes us all so happy to see your friends come into the house and go to your room like they used to do when you would study or listen to CD's and be in there for hours. Right now I'm at the gym and I was checking my email and remembered a couple of months before the accident when me and you where coming home from Time Out and you had me stop here so you could pick up an application to work here, I wonder how big and built you would've been if you were still here...Please watch over all of us and mostly our mom because she's not doing to well, and if you can please visit me in my dreams so I can see you and talk to you for a little bit ok. I miss you and Love you always. Love Your Sister, Noula

Theodoraki,

We all miss you very much!!! It's been four years already and not a day goes by that we don't think about you. We LOVE YOU very much and you are truly missed!

Hey Teddy...



The girls and I went to the cemetery yesterday to visit...the pictures they have up of you always make us smile, the memories all come rushing back...I'll never forget that summer. I can't believe it's already been 4 years. I miss you so much and I'm always thinking of you. Love you.

Teddy it's hard to accept how the time flies. It is hard to Accept that you are not here. You are still on everybody's mind and in everybody's heart. It is even harder to believe that this world has had to go on four years without you. I hope that one day we will meet again. Thanks for the memories. And most of all thank you for being a friend to me.

Teddy: I was thinking about you today. Your Dad still has sadness in his eyes whenever I see him. Everyone misses you.

Hi Teddy its your cousin Dimitra. I would like to say tha we all miss you and it has been very lonley without you

-Uncle Bobby Aunt Penny Natasha Teddy and me

Hey Teddy... I just want you to know that you are missed so much. Never has a day gone by where you were not thought of. I miss you...

The 3 year memorial is coming up soon so please contact me via email to get details if you would like to attend. Thanks.

Hey Teddy...I've been thinking about you and Enrique alot lately. Then, I met your friend A.J. Pitner and we were talking about you. We both miss you alot. I just wanted to say that...Love you Tedster.

I am really at a loss for words. I dont know if I am writting to Teddy, or just writting to write what I am thinking about. Well, the weather is getting warmer and if Teddy was here he would be out playing basketball or tennis or swimming or something. Anyway I really miss him and love him and think of him all the time.

I would like to say that i have known Teddy for years, so I know that he will hear me when i ask him to take care of my brother, Robert, now that he is about to became a husband and father.

Happy late birthday Teddy! I feel really sad because I never had the chance to say goodbye to you. I had to leave at the end of sophomore year but I remember that summer it was GREAT!I remember the night before I had to departure to Mexico we went to Six Flags and I remember you won me a big teddy bear when I made a call over here and they informed me that you were no longer here I hugged that bear and I truly believe that it was you I was hugging.There is a lot of things I would like to say or have said to you.It was hard for me to come back and not see you. I know for sure you would've made fun of me since I was in Mexico.I really miss you.And it really sucks that you had to leave so soon.I told you I was coming back!!!I'm here now where are you? But I hope to see you soon. I love you very much Teddy and I will always no matter what. Happy birthday again!I love you very much!

Yesterday was a difficult day for all of us and I'm sure for those who knew Teddy well it was the same for them also. He would've been 21 and I'm sure having a great time, with friends and family. Lydia thank you again for keeping this site open so that everyone who misses Teddy could come and write their feelings here. I hope everyone is well and safe. Teddy, I hope you got all the stuff that I brought you yesterday. Love u and miss u always. Your sis.

I haven't forgotten about you Tedster. I'm still thinkin about u and Enrique everyday. You turn 21 today huh? Are u drinking it up there in heaven with Jesus? haha. I love you and miss you. Happy birthday.

JUST TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT TEDDY'S EMAIL ADDRESS THAT HE HAD IS STILL AN ACTIVE ACCOUNT AND COULD RECIEVE EMAILS AT ANY TIME. THE EMAIL ADDRESS IS [email protected] JUST IN CASE YOU MIGHT WANT TO SEND A MESSAGE. THANK YOU ALL FOR VISITING THESE SITES AND FOR MISSING AND LOVING TEDDY AS MUCH AS WE DO. IN LOVING MEMORY OF THEODORE (TEDDY) SOLOMOS. ATHINA

Hey Ted, Wish you were here to read this, its been 2 years. So much has happened. We really miss you.



I hope to see again one day.

Teddy, I can't sleep and I keep thinking about being at the beach with you 2 years ago. I can't believe its been 2 years. I wish I had more time with you. I miss you so much and I love you. You're always in my prayers. Keep looking down on us and keeping us safe.

It's almost 2 years since I haven't seen my little brother and it feels like a an eternity, doesn't matter how much time goes by though I still remember him just as he was, tall, goodlooking, strong, and full of energy and attitude. I always want to remember him that way and I want you all to remember him the same way. If anyone needs information on the 2 year memorial please contact me by e-mail and I would be happy to give you any information you need. Thanks again for visiting this site and a special thanks to Lydia for keeping it open. I love you Teddy and miss you so much, we all miss you.

I'm sure Teddy is looking down on his family today and wishing his mom a happy mothers day. Happy Mother's Day--you raised your son to be the most genuine person.

I would like to thank everyone who still visits this site, I know that you must miss him as much as we do. I dont have everyones phone numbers or email addresses so please email me so that I could let you all know about the 2 year memorial that we are having for Teddy this year I'd like everyone to be there. Thank you once again. Teddy, I miss you soooooo much and love you with all my heart.
Your sister.

Time is going by way too fast. I wish I had more memories to recollect about you but you left my life so quickly. I still think about you every single day. Even though we've spent little time together, the impact you've had on my life is enormous. I never thought there were people out there as genuine as you. And I never imagined losing someone I've grown to love as one of my close friends so quickly. Less than an hour after I saw you and spoke to you, you were gone. I didn't even hug you goodbye. I remember wanting to but I was already late for my curfew at the time so I rushed in the car. I regret not taking my time that night just to say goodbye the way I wanted to. I always would hug you guys goodbye, but instead I yelled out the car window to you. I hate thinking about the million what if questions because they drive me crazy. Summer of 2002 was the best time of my life (because of you guys) and I don't think anything can ever top it. I love you! Come visit me in my dreams with Enrique!

Teddy, I never meet you one-on-one but i have heard so many great things about your from you family to your friends that I feel like i know you very well too. Please continue to watch over your family and the people who love you so much. I know your not alone and that Ricky I'm sure is making you laugh, like he would my brother Chris. You both will always be remembered. May God be with him and your family.

Teddy: Well, I guess I just wanted to remind you that you're still on everyone's minds. You're in my thoughts every waking moment. Love you tons and miss you! Can't wait until we meet up again.

I miss you and love you so much!

Hey Teddy its been over a year now since you passed on, but you will alwayz be my homie!I remember when I met you, it was when I was at Pershing and you were playing for North Cicero.You guys beat us at Morton College then we beat you all at the Y.M.C.A.Those were fun time Dawg and you will never be forgotten! See you on the other side.

Teddy~ It's hard to believe I haven't seen you in a whole year. I hate to remember what was going on at this exact moment a year ago- waking up to horrible news. I was at your house on saturday and talked to your mom and family. So many of your friends and family came together to tell stories remembering what an incredible person you are. I remembered playing basketball in your yard before we went to the park to play. You and Enrique were telling me I had a good jumpshot and that you wanted me on your teams. I just wanted to say how much everyone loves you and we're all thinking about everyday. Miss you so much.

Today is a year that you passed away. We miss you so much. Its not the same with out you. We miss your energy, your jokes, and your walk. I hope to see you soon with the rest of your family.



Love, Jeanette

Teddy,
It's almost a year this month. I cant believe that so many things changed in just one year. I wish I could see you at least briefly to tell you what has happened in my life. I know you would be so happy for me. It still hasnt hit me why someone so special to me and to others had to go so soon. I know everyone misses you dearly. I am going to start school again this August. I just want to tell you that I miss you and hope to see you soon. And like you said in my yearbook, I too am glad I had in my life for some time.

Love always,
Jeanette

Teddy,

I can't believe it's almost been a year since we last saw you. It's been hard for me to sign your guestbook because I want to pretend that nothing ever happened, and that you are just away at college and will be coming home soon. As our first year in college ends, I wish so much that you would have been able to be here with us, but I know you were there. During the late night studying for midterms and finals; the last minute term papers; and the "it's all over" parties. I know you were there just as you were when we were in high school. I'll never forget the promise we made junior year to stick together through AP because you and I were the new ones, and we needed to help each other out when the other "nerds" were acting smarter than us. You pushed on and became one of the best in AP as well as in life. And remember the ACT? We were sitting in my truck and you freeloaded on my hot chocolate and made me study with you, I told you to relax but you were so anxious and forced me to go through the math formulas again. That's how you always were, helping out, encouraging us to work harder. I know you are there now each and everytime I need you. Each time this year has gotten hard and I've wanted to give up, I know you've kept me going. Thank you so much for that. Time has passed but I will never forget you. My sister will never forget you or the times you made fun of Hanson. lol! Those were great times. I know that one day we'll see each other again. Until then please know that I love you very much and will remember you always.



Love you always,

~Tere~

Summers coming and the girls are all coming home. I will never forget last summer. I'm so glad to have met you and spent so much time with you. You made it the best summer I've had, the best summer Enrique's had, the best summer for us all. I'm gonna miss you being with us this summer, playing basketball, going dancing, singing songs for me (*NSYNC "Gone") on the days I couldn't go out with you guys. I'll sing for you all summer when you can't show up in our hearts. And I know we'll feel you in our hearts when we're having fun because Come on Teddy, How can we have fun without you!!!? You better be there with us, walking alongside us all summer. I love you and Enrique both and miss you terribly!

Teddy....I miss you!

I'd like to take a moment of everyone's time and say thank you so much for still thinking of Teddy even after all this time has passed, I didn't think that anyone would ever forget a person like him anyway. It means alot to all of us to know that you all loved Teddy and miss him. You could never even imagine how hard the holidays were and his birthday was on the six month memorial so that was a very hard day as well. I would like to ask all of you, Giselle, Vanessa, Jeanette, please if you have any pictures especially recent ones make a copy for us at walgreens and bring them to us, or if you don't feel comfortable coming here feel free to mail them.

Thank you again and please keep in touch. Athina



Teddy- I've told you a million times that I love you and miss you and I will continue telling you until I can no longer speak. I hope you are getting all my cards and letters if not check your mail baby.

Love, Noula

It's been six months since we were laughing and having a good old time. I miss that so much. I'm still in shock of everything that's happened. I love you always and forever. I'll never forget your smile when we said goodbye your last night at the beach. I'll cherish that night always.

Happy Birthday Tedster! I know you'll have a blast in heaven with Enrique, celebrating. We'll keep you in your hearts. I hope your fav team wins the superbowl today!! Love you and missing you!

Teddy~ I wish the circumstances were different. I still can't believe your gone. It doesn't fit into my mind, and I don't think it ever will. I miss you more than you can EVER imagine.I wish you were here physically to hug or just to say whats up. Your birthday has now come again. Happy Birthday, Teddy. I love you so much and think about you everday. I'll NEVER forget the moments we shared. Se Aga Po.

Jeannette~ I feel like me and you keep singing this thing!!



Teddy~ I've been thinking about you guyz alot. Especially because your birthday is coming up soon and it's gonna be six months since I've seen you last. Hope you're having a blast with Enrique, watching all of your friends and family, especially Chris-who is doing so well. Miss you and love you always!

Merry Xmas Teddy! Your family is missing you but I know you were with them celebrating a great holiday. Miss you tons! Love you.

Teddy, I miss you so much. Can't wait to see you again.



Love You Always!

Jeanette

To the Solomos Family:

I wrote the Garza's a similar message-Holiday seasons are gonna be rough. We all have to remember that even though the boys aren't here physically they are here in our hearts. Even though you won't be able to see Teddy while eating xmas dinner, and you didn't see him for thanksgiving, he was still there and he will always be there. God Bless.



It's been four months now, and it's unbelievable. We have to smile for Chris MontesDeOca because Teddy and Enrique blessed him with incredible strength to recover and make it home to spend his holidays in his own home. Teddy and Enrique both are in God's arms now and we should be thankful that we know they are eternally happy. Happy Holidays everyone.



Teddy-I miss you so much! Me and the girls were all together tonight with Juan and talking about how much fun the Bbash was. We all love you so much and think about you all the time. Love you and Miss you Always!

Teddy, I still can't believe you're not around. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. You will forever be kept alive in my heart. The world lost a great man while the heavens gained an angel. I love you Teddy and await the day I can hug you again.

Teddy, you are missed so much... not a day goes by when I don't think of you. Thank you for taking me to my Prom... I will treasure that night forever. I'm am glad I had the chance of becoming one of your friends. Thank you for comforting me when I needed it, and thank you for always making me laugh. I'll never forget the many times we "went" out at 1 in the morning...

I will always love and remember you.

Teddy, I miss you!

To Teddy's family



I'm sorry for what happen. I was Teddy's friend since 7th grade and you had a wonderful son. My best wishes to the whole family and if there is anything that i can help in let me know.

Teddy,

I've never met you or talked to you but knowing how much your family and friends miss you makes me realise what a great person you were. Rest in peace...



To the Solomos family:

My deepest sympathies for the tragic loss of your son, brother and grandson. May his soul rest in peace.



To Teddy's friends:

Live to remember Teddy's great courage and character. Always keep a place in your hearts for him.

Hey pa,

Its been a month and I still cannot accept the fact that two wonderful guys that were once a part of my life,are now gone. I wish there was a stronger word for "miss" because I cant explain how much I think about you guys. You both are still a huge part of my life for the fact that i think about you,talk about you,and talk to you constantly. You will never be forgotten. I promise you that I will always keep your memories alive.....I bet your entertaining them up there!!

Loving & Missing You Dearly,

Marisela

To the Solomos family,

My heart and prayers are with you all. Teddy was always proud of who he was and where he came from, I think that has alot to do with how he was brought up. You did an incredible job on raising him.Im glad he was and still is a part of my life.

God Bless You Always,

The Solomos Family:

I spent alot of my summer with Teddy, Enrique, and those boys. I stopped by your house with three other girls a day or so after the accident. I know it has been very difficult for you, as it has been for me. I send my deepest condolences. The girls and I spent most of our summer with Teddy and we were with him on his last night and he was so happy. I want you to know that and if you want to hear any other stories about him or if you need to talk, if anyone wants to talk, please email me. I love and miss the boys very much.

Teddy,

I'm so thankful to have met you this summer. You were such a great person and always made me laugh-even when we were joking around and making each other mad. I'm glad that we got to visit the beach again and I got to see you once more.



Make a basket for me up there!

Georgia

Is me ENRIQUE'S (Ricky)mom.I will always remember the first day I met TEDDY.I was expecting to meet a little kid.I looked up to see this big beautiful Teddybear (I used to called him big Teddybear).He smiled and looked down at me and told me "dont worry mom I will always take good care of Enrique".I know our hearts are bleading and there is no cure for it,but I know our kids are together remember that Ricky tooked his favorite baskeball with him.We were blessed to have angels in our home for 18th years and those angels are with us every were we go.When I Cry or pray for Ricky I do for Teddy two and I know the kids are doing the same things. I will always have Teddy and your family in my heart.I know you feel the same way I do.

LOVE YOU ALL

Teddy,

We met so many years back, Im glad we got to meet again. Just remember the gap that was made by those years. I'll see you again. God only knows how big this gap is going to be. We have two new angels looking down on us now, and thats a gift. GOD BLESS & KEEP YOU ALWAYS.

Lilly

To the Athina family:

I had the pleasure of meeting Teddy many years ago when we were kids. God granted me the gift of seeing him one more time before he took him. Ill cherish that forever. My heart goes out to your family and you are in my prayers.

Dear Solomos Family,

I would just like you to know that my condolences are with you. May God bring you the strength but also the serenity to keep going on and at the same time keep Teddy's memory alive. I had the pleasure to meet Teddy and to consider him one of my best friends. Great and extraordinary fall short from describing him, but that sure was Teddy. One thing we can never forget is that we might have lost Teddy physically but he will remain alive in our hearts forever. We must not forget that Heaven gained an Angel(Teddy)! Teddy, I will always Love you and never forget you.

I had the privilege of dating Teddy. I was Teddy's last girlfriend. It hurts me to know that my bestfriend is now gone. I remember the times when we had late night phone calls. We were more than boyfriend and girlfriend, we were best friends. I always imagined the day when he would invite me to his wedding and I would invite him to mine. He always told me that he was going to continue being my bestfriend even if his WIFE did not approve of it. I got the opportunity to say Goodbye to him that week. He told me he Loved me so much and I told him the same. I will never forget how special we was to me. All I have left are memories of him. He tried so hard to make me happy. He was so smart, yet he studied even harder. He had a dream. We must accept that God took him for a reason. That reason we do not know. The only comfort we have left is that hope that we will see him again.



To the Solomos Family: Thanks for accepting me in your family and in your home. Dennis, Georgia, Athina, Joanne, and Niko, you guys were so special to Teddy. I send out my deepest condolences to you all. May God comfort your hearts. I Love you.



Teddy: I love you so much, and I will never ever forget you. Se aga po.



Love,

Athina and Family,

I want to thank you Athina for giving me the opportunity to be part of your family these past years. Teddy was like a little brother to me. I will miss him dearly and I will never forget his smirk or smart remarks. I use to always tease him, but deep down inside I was always proud of him. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to see him grow and become a sensitve, intelligent and warm hearted angel. He is in a better place now and he will always be in my heart. I feel your hurt and will be there for you and your family. Love ya

Teddy,

I never did forget you..we went to Goodwin together - you sat behind me in the 3rd grade and gave me a troll necklace. You were very sweet and kind. Then I went to Our Lady of the Mount and met Enrique. The world shines a little dimmer without the two of you in it. I miss you and I'll always remember you.

Love Kimberly

Teddy,my angel,

I was blessed with the opportunity to be your friend.You amazed me with your outgoing personality and your strong character.I'll never meet anyone like you, you were one in a million kind of guy.You were never the type to stay quiet, but neither was I,thats why we had unforgetable conversations.And so I promise to continue talking to you, everyday..I'll tell you how wonderful you were, even though you knew all that.I'll never forget the ballgame we went to, u made it a blast,best Cubs game i've ever been to.You'll always hold a place in my heart.

Loving & Missing You dearly..

I would like to take a minute and express my gratitude for everyone who had a part in my brothers life making it as wonderful and happy as possible. I would like to thank everyone for their prayers and help and we will not forget your kindness at this very difficult time in our lives. My brother was a very happy person and very religious and close to god, therfore we know that he is with god looking upon us and praying for all of us that were a part of his life. I know Teddy and I know that he loved for everyone to get together for any occasion, therefore my family and I extend an invitation to anyone who knew Teddy and wants to talk or has any pictures or video footage of him to please come by the house at any time or call anytime you are always welcome. Again Thank You all for everything and Thank You Chicago Tribune for giving people the opportunity to extend their condolences. Thank you all ! Athina Solomos and Family

My Condolences for the Solomos family for the loss of their son Teddy.

May God keep you close to his heart. My deepest condolences to the Solomos' family. My heart goes out to you. Teddy graduated with my son and it hurts me so much to see the good and innocent die young.

God Bless You.

I remember the first day I met Teddy I was a Junior and he was a Freshmen at Morton H.S. He approuched me for directions to one of his classes and I gladly helped. We even had the same lunch hour that year and ever since that day I had the privlage of meeting one the most caring, funny, and smart young man that I had ever met Yet I will also never forget We will all miss you Teddy R.I.P

Solomos Family,

We had the pleasure of meeting Teddy recently and he touched our hearts in ways that few people can do. His life is a testament of wonderful parents. Thank you for sharing your son with us. god Bless you in your hours of pain.

Teddy-

May god keep you close to him and care for you since you did the same for everyone here. I know you are in a better place than all of us. No one would have ever thought you would leave us so soon. But hey this is how it was planned for you. Always remember that we all love you and you will always hold a big place in our hearts. Keep smiling and don't forget about us that have to stay here, since our time has yet not came, but save a spot for those of us who loved you and cared for you. I will not say good-bye but what I will say is "see you when I get there." You will be missed greatly and will always be remembered.



To the Solomos Family-

My deepest sympathy to you. Teddy was a loving and fun boy. Be proud of who he was, because there are not that many people out there like TEDDY. He strived for the best and yet reached his goals. He took advantage of his life and made the best of it. My prayers are with you and may his soul rest in peace.

Love Always,

Connie

My heart is with you in this horrible loss. My own 17 year old son and two of his friends were in volved in the crash which stole your son's life. Thank God, they are alive, though suffering emotional scars which may never heal. I know that nothing I can say can ease your pain, now or ever, but I hope it will help you to know that so very many people share your loss and cry with you.

our deepest sorrow go to your family from our family teddy was a great young man now he with god,RIP teddy from the avila family.val-felicia

I have never met anyone with as much confidence in himself as teddy. I will never forget when we played baseball and he told me "dude if anyone ever asks u what player to be always say what i say...BABE RUTH" and i didn't know who babe ruth was at the time and he laughed when i said that, but that proves right there that teddy wanted to be nothing but the best...And teddy was nothing short of that, I can't help but feel like he's still around...LATERS TEDDY

TEDDY,

I'M GOING TO MISS YOU. I'VE KNOWN YOU FOR SIX YEARS AND THEY HAVE BEEN GREAT. MY BEST WISHES FOR THE SOLOMOS FAMILY. MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU. I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU.

R.I.P. AND MY GOD BE WITH YOU



YOUR BOY

Teddy was somebody who knew what he wanted in life and would persue it no matter what. That I think was his best quality. I will miss you very much. R.I.P.

Teddy will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.Even by those who just knew who he was. For the little time that I got to know him I saw that he had a great personality and can put a smile on anyone's face. I knew he would be a great friend from the start. He was a great looking guy and very intelligent person who had everything going for him.He was definitely going to be somebody in life. It is an unfortunate tragedy was happened to him which in so many ways could have been prevented. Then again God does things for a reason. My deepest condolences and sympathy to the Solomos Family. May God Bless all of you. Teddy may you rest in peace and live in all of our hearts. I will always remember him by "Teddy Walker". Something he used always joke around with me everytime I saw him.

~R.I.P. TEDDY~

You will not be forgotten!!!

My heart goes out to Solomos family. Teddy will always be remembered as a kind fun-loving person who made everyone laugh.May God be with him and may he rest in peace.

To the Solomos Family,

My deepest condolences to the Solomos family. Teddy was a great friend. He was a classmate of mine since 5th grade at Goodwin School and all through Morton High School. He was very helpful and a kind person to be around. He always helped anyone he could with any problems. He will be missed by all who knew him and may God continue to bless him and your family.
