Teddy John Pfeifer's Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our son, Theodore “Teddy” John Pfeifer. Teddy came into the world early on January 26th, 2025. Teddy passed away peacefully in the loving arms of his parents, Jacob and Emily, on February 26th, 2025.
Born at just 13.75 ounces, Teddy displayed a tenacious will to live. Though his time here was short, he made a huge impact - capturing the love of so many. Teddy was incredibly tough, overcoming countless obstacles and beating the odds on more than one occasion.
He personified the meaning of his name: “God’s Gift”. We believe that Teddy came into our lives for a reason. He will forever be with us, like a handprint on our hearts. Because we knew him, we have been changed for good.
Teddy’s family would like to thank the medical staff at Truman University Health Hospital and Children’s Mercy Hospital Kansas City who provided exceptional care to sweet Teddy and his entire family.
Teddy: you are loved beyond all measure. A tiny miracle, our priceless treasure. Sweet dreams dear Teddy, we love you so.
Teddy’s visitation will be held at Nelson-Berna Funeral Home in Rogers on Thursday, March 6, 2025 from 4pm - 7pm. A private family burial will follow.
In lieu of flowers, we ask those that wish to express sympathy to please make a contribution to Children’s Mercy Hospital Kansas City. In Teddy’s memory, please consider making your donation specific to support the Small Baby Unit - NICU.
