Theodore Alexander Metzger, or 'Teddy" as he is more affectionately known, transitioned on January 10, 2023 at the age of 40. A resident of South Florida for 39 of his years, Teddy was born in Neoga, IL. He is survived by his wife, May Metzger; mother, Alycea Metzger of Coconut Creek, FL; father, Frank Metzger of Glen Carbon, IL; sisters, A. Kelly Szirovatka and Holly Metzger; brothers, Matthew Metzger, Orrin Metzger, and Joshua Metzger.

Teddy worked in, owned, and operated several tattoo shop facilities over the last 20 years with the latest being Random Ink Tattoo Shop in Fort Lauderdale which his wife May continues to operate.

Teddy was full of love for his family, animals, nature, and all its mysteries. His artistic abilities portrayed this love in his tattoos, painting, writing and song. A creative, fun-loving joker Teddy is loved and missed by all who knew him.

A Life Celebration will be held on Monday, February 13, 2023 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM with a Memorial Service to begin at 6:00 PM. The family is requesting donations here.
