Teddy "Ted" Brim

Mr. Ted Ray Brim, 71, of Pilot Mountain, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 15, 2022 in his home with his loving family. He was born in Surry County on July 3, 1950 to Rev. Calvin Coolidge and Ollie Cleo Brim. Ted was a Vietnam Veteran, serving his country proudly in the United States Army. He was employed for 37 years with Fowler & Jones Construction. Ted was of the Pentecostal faith and was a member of Bible Revival Ministries Center. He enjoyed going to the flea market and trading on anything there. Ted also loved motorcycles, making old cars doodle bugs, and spending time with his family. His wife, Ruth was the love of his life; his daughter, Tracie was his pride and joy; his grandson, Koby was his world and buddy, he was so proud of him being a preacher; and Timmy, was more like a son to him rather than a son-in-law.

Ted was a very special man. He was honest, hardworking, and a man of his word.

He loved his family with all his heart, which he told us often.

We have been married almost 50 years and he is the love of my life. We have had a good and happy life together.

We didn’t have much money, but we had a lot of love. Tracie was his pride and joy. Koby was his world.

Timmy was more than a son-in-law, he thought of him as a son.

Wedding vows say “till death do us part”, but we will never part. He has my heart and took a part of me with him.

Until we are together again in heaven, I will be empty.

I love you with all my heart and I’ll see you soon. Tell the man upstairs to watch over us. I know he will because you will make sure of that.

See you soon. I love you forever.
