Theodore "Ted" Drew Pelletier, 67, passed away at his home in West Warwick, RI on Monday, September 11, 2023.
Born November 22, 1955, as one of eight siblings, Ted grew up in Fort Kent, ME. A master tradesman, he moved to Connecticut where founded his own company, Titan Steel Erectors, and took great pride in the buildings he and his crew built throughout the Northeast. Later in life, Ted found employment as a shipfitter at General Dynamics Electric Boat in North Kingstown, RI. Ted was an independent and private person, who enjoyed golf trips with his friends, weekend outings with his daughters and grandchildren, and family reunions in Maine. He had many friends and acquaintances, particularly around the Bristol, CT area where he lived for over four decades. His work ethic and commitment to a job well done were respected by all who knew him.
Ted is survived by his two daughters Tara (Pelletier) White (married to Eric White) and Lauren Pelletier; two grandchildren Gannon and Willow White; six sisters and brothers, Gary Pelletier, Paulette Knapp, Lynette Berger, Suzette Kobzeff, Leslie Serrao, and Mead Pelletier; his close nephew Shaun Pelletier and family; and many other nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. He is predeceased by his father and mother, Normand Pelletier Sr. and Kathryn Pelletier, and older brother, Norman "Bunny" Pelletier Jr.
Despite the difficulties he encountered with alcohol addiction, Ted was known for his perseverance, sense of humor, and love for his family. Donations may be made in Ted's memory to the Rushford Foundation in Middletown, CT (rushford.org/giving/donate-now) or McCall Behavioral Health Network in Torrington, CT (mccallbhn.org/donate) to aid others in their recovery.
