Theo Thom Turkey 5 months, of Pine River, died peacefully in his sleep on Monday, September 26, 2011 at his home from natural causes.
Theo was born sometime in April, 2011 at an unknown location, the son of Mr. & Mrs. Heritage Turkey. He never married and, being the good young boy he was, has no descendants.
Theo was a member of the Chicken Palace Flock. He was the keeper and protector of the coop, from July until his untimely death. Theo lived to chase grasshoppers and enjoyed chasing the four wheeler, being pet by his buddy Lane, roosting on Rebecca's shoulder around the campfire and "talking" with his family thru five consecutive whistles, and sleeping underneath Becky & Dave's bedroom window at night.
Survivors include his fellow chicken friends, Jack, the Rooster, Fergie, Reba, Mable, Verna, Brownie, Pat, Bertha, Edith, Chick, Bean, & Myrtle.
Preceding Theo in death are Ted the Turkey I, Ted the Turkey II, Don King, the Rooster, Donna King, the Hen, Greta the green layer and Soup the Rabbit.
Theo has requested that a private ceremony with only his closest loved ones take place and that he be laid to rest alone beneath the ant hill where he spent much of his day snatching, eating and terrorizing ants underneath the big pine tree near his first home, the Rabbit Hutch. His original requested resting place "the Stock Pot" was retracted when he suspected he may meet an untimely death of natural causes and asked that he be left to rest in peace.
Theo was loved by all who knew him, with the exception of one, Elizabeth, whom he just got a little too friendly with, a little too quick. He always regretted his too forward nature with Elizabeth. So his dying wish was for me to express his regret to Elizabeth personally in hopes that she will forgive his unwanted advances.
May you rest in peace Theo Thom Turkey.
