missed by her family and
friends.

Ted William Stallsworth
passed away peacefully on
Aug. 19, 2021, in Portland.
He was born to Retta Mal-
very Stallsworth in Central
Point. John David Campbell
married Retta shortly after
Ted was born and he became
his “Dad.” He is preceded in
death by his mother, dad and
grandmother, Lona Stalls-
worth. Ted was a beloved
husband, father, grandfather,
uncle, nephew and friend.
Ted grew up in Medford,
and at 17, he convinced his
mother that the U.S. Army
was the right choice for him.
Ted served in the Army for
three years before receiving
an honorable discharge in
1989. After the military, Ted
settled in Medford and strug-
gled with addiction issues
for several years during his
20s. In 1995, he moved to
the North Oregon Coast and
found recovery in 1996.
In 1998, he started Pro-
Fresh Carpet Care. While
building Pro-Fresh, he
worked as a bus driver in
Seaside and Warrenton,
drove log trucks for Jim
Benson, U.S. mail truck for
KM Nielsen, was a concrete
truck driver for A-1 Ready
Mix and a mixture of other
side jobs. Ted had a passion
for knowledge and making
himself better and putting his
past in the rearview mirror.
One of his proudest accom-
plishments was completing
his training and becoming a
reserve offi cer for the War-
renton Police Department.
Ted loved the out-
doors. In his spare time, he
enjoyed fi shing the Colum-
bia, Nehalem and Clatskanie
rivers and the Pacifi c Ocean.
He spent the beginning of
fall each year hunting deer
in Eastern Oregon and elk on
the North Coast. One of his
favorite pastimes was clam-
ming on the beaches. He
always met a fi rst time clam-
ming enthusiast and would
share his experiences and
stories while teaching them
how to dig for clams.
He is survived by the love
of his life, Julie Halvorsen
Stallsworth. They married in
2000 and spent the next sev-
eral years raising their four
children, Brandon (Deb-
bie), of Newberg, Jacob
(Kirsten), of Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, Ariel Barber (Keith),
of Tigard, and Sierra Hodges
(Morgan), of Warrenton. He
is also survived by his fi ve
grandboys, Tyler, Ryker,
Isaac, Aaron and Mason. His
grandboys were the apple of
papa’s eyes, and they had
a very special place in his
heart for them.
Ted had an extended
family that included close
friends, friends of Bill W.
and Pro-Fresh customers.
There were not many places
that Ted would go and not
meet a new friend or catch
up with an old friend each
day. A celebration of Ted
was held Thursday at Cof-
fenbury Lake.
