Bro Tedford was a fiery preacher. I'll never forget the fervor with which he preached my mother (Sis Mary Easters) funeral. You were a good and faithful pastor to my father Rev Henry Easter. I'll cherish your memory forever.Rev Noah Marshall
Thank you Bro Tedford for being such a wonderful Pastor. I love you and will miss you dearly. He was always such a prayer warrior. You never had to wonder if he was praying for you. I remember many times during prayer service getting caught up herring him prayer for everyone even if they weren't even in church still he never gave up on anyone. He will always be missed and loved. But he ran his race and now going on to his reward.
Our family is one of the 1st to be Fortunate enough to have known Brother Tedford from the beginning of his time as pastor of White River United Pentecostal Church.. at that time we assembled in metal folding chairs in the basement of the WestFork newspaper the Observer.. Brother & Sister Tedford worked effortlessly until they earned enough money for the down payment to buy the building they began their small church family in My eyes are heavy with tears at the loss of such a Wonderful GODLY man that GREATLY influenced my life but my heart is filled with joy because I can picture him sitting at the feet of Jesus with little David by his side waiting for the rest of his family to join him in their HEAVENLY home ? He willbe missed.. Prayers for ALL his family in this time of loss
Jack Neilan Tedford was my pastor in Clovis, N.Mexico in the late 60's and in West Fork, Ar after he moved from Clovis. He was a wonderful pastor, loving father-in-law, grandfather to my two sons, great-grandfather to my grandchildren. I will remember his loving kindness, always smiling face and living what he preached. We knew him as Papa Church, but , in the beginning he was Papa Horse ( he gave the grandkids horseback rides on his back.) Thank you Jack Tedford for all the wonderful years and precious memories!
I know God is blessing you with a wonderful reunion with our loved ones that have already passed. You are loved and will be greatly missed, sweet uncle Jack!! Til we meet again...
We love this man and his lovely wife. They are true friends and have been an inspiration to myself and my wife, Eva from the first day that we met. He will be missed, but he has been rewarded with a better home in glory. This is truly a Christian example to follow in his foot steps.
