Ted Duane Shobe, aged 70, passed away at his home in Richardson, Tx on July 29, 2018 surrounded by his family following a year-long struggle with prostate cancer. He was born July 28, 1948 in Alton, Illinois to Ernest and Eileen Shobe and big brother, Jerry. Ted grew up in Alton attending grade school through high school.  He was a gifted student and athlete, lettering in football and track. Ted graduated from Southern Illinois University with a degree in psychology and mathematics.  Following graduation, he enlisted in the United States Navy and later earned a M.Ed. from Memphis State University in guidance and counseling. Ted’s lifelong career path was spent in education.  In his early career, he was employed by Bowling Green University, Bemidji State University, the University of Minnesota, and finally at Trinity University.  The remainder of his employment involved positions in alternative, public, and private school education as a teacher, coach, principal, and administrator. Ted is survived by his wife Teresa, daughter Emma, son Justin Corwin, brother Jerry (wife Diana), nephews Brian (wife Marie) and Jason (wife Tammy), niece Sarah, and his beloved cat Milo.

Arrangements are under the direction of ARIA Cremation Service and Funeral Home 19310 Preston Road Dallas, Texas 75252 214-306-6700 A Silent Tear Just close your eyes and you will see All the memories that you have of me Just sit and relax and you will find I’m really still there inside your mind Don’t cry for me now I’m gone For I am in the land of song There is no pain, there is no fear So dry away that silent tear Don’t think of me in the dark and cold For here I am, no longer old I’m in that place that’s filled with love Known to you all as – up above. by Gaynor Llewellyn

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
