Sgt. Teddy Ratcliff

May God grant you peace in knowing that he is no longer in pain and he is now in the house of the Lord. You all have been in my thoughts and prayers not only in the last few days but for the last few years. Your family and the Lord will help you in the days to come and the memories that you have now will only become more precious. God bless!

Steady Teddy - an all-around great guy who will be greatly missed. He adored his family and made them a priority as witnessed in his deeds and demeanor on and off duty. His sons, Josh and Chase, were his favorite pastime. At work, Teddy shunned the limelight, preferring to thrive in the shadows where he could work angles and pull strings. Quiet, but bold. He could often "get things done" with a handful of carefully chosen words and a mischievous grin. As cunning as he was creative, Teddy was an exceptional interrogator who could skillfully elicit information from the most reluctant suspect, dissect partial admissions, and then reassemble them into a semblance of the truth. Like a sport, "getting the bad guy" was a victory worthy of a high-five with all the play-by-play locker room banter afterwards. It was my honor to be his friend and a colleague who shared countless victories for the good guys. It'll never be the same.

I am so very sorry to hear that we have list another friend to cancer. As a classmate and neighborhood friend, I have a lot if fond memories of Teddy. I am sure heaven is celebrating his arrival. My prayers are with his family as they continue their lives without him.

Our love and prayers go out to you. We pray for your beautiful memories of him to continue and that your life is blessed daily. May God's love strengthen you and uplift your spirit.

It was so sad to hear of Teddy's passing. He was a good officer always willing to help others and I was proud to know him during his entire career with the BPD. Our prayers are with Teddy's family....

I am truly sorry to hear my childhood friend has passed away. I experienced both good times and bad times with Teddy in the early years of our lives; We grew up up a block away from one another and spent a great deal of time playing together as children. I hate that he died so young and from a terrible disease. I know he will be missed by his beloved family, his dear friends and his fellow police officers. I am praying for the Holy Spirit to comfort you all in this sad time.

Cheryl,
I cannot begin to say how my heart goes out to you and the boys. I have fond memories of Teddy, although it has been so long since I last saw him. I do remember that momma loved him very much. I am praying for you, the boys, Teddy's family and our family. May God bring you peace and comfort at this time. I love you, Lynn

From the Class of Silsbee High 1983 to our friend....
We each will cherish our fond memories of you and the fine outstanding man you became. Our hearts and prayers will be with your family as they struggle to face life without you.
God bless you Teddy.
Your friend and classmate,
Kirsten

Mike and Pat and family,
So sorry for your loss. Teddy was a good friend. I have such fond memories of you guys and Teddy and your dad - I will always be a fan of your dad. Because of baseball, your family will always be an important chapter of my childhood experience.
Please extend my sincerest sympathies to Teddy's wife and sons. I can't imagine the depth of their sense of loss. With you as you grieve.

Teddy will be missed from his friends he went to school with in Silsbee. He was a grade ahead of me. I am saddened to hear of him leaving so young. And to his wife and sons, may God Bless You. His spirit will always be with you.
