Ted was born on December 25, 1953 to Delton and Helen Herrington Dyess. A lifelong resident of Jefferson Davis County, he worked in the commercial construction business for many years. One of Ted's great joys was fishing. Many memories were made with his friends as they launched his boat and fished the Pearl River. His son-in-law relates about a particular fishing trip that several went on to the mighty Mississippi River that Ted particularly enjoyed. In addition, he received a great deal of pleasure from just getting out, riding the rural country roads in this area and taking in the beauty of God's creation. Mr. Dyess was of the Baptist faith.
Ted is preceded in death by his parents, Delton and Helen Dyess and his son, Dean Reiter (2013).
His memory will forever be cherished by his wife of 36 years, Shirley Dyess of Carson; daughters, Angie Smith (Mitchell) of Carson, Brandi Niemeyer of Sumrall; brothers, Dale Dyess, Darrell Dyess, both of Carson, Elton Dyess of Sumrall and his sister, Sharon Brewer of Carson. He is also survived by 10 grandchildren and 4-great-grandchildren.
