Theron Henry Kotter

Howell, UT?On Thursday, February 27, 2003, Theron Henry Kotter completed his earthly mission. He was born on March 16, 1951 and was the fifth child of Homer and Virginia Kotter. Upon his birth it was determined he had Downs Syndrome. He was a sweet spirit who taught us much about patience, understanding and tolerance of all people who are special. Throughout his lifetime, Theron attended special schools at Bear River City, Bear River High and special classes at the Lincoln Center in Brigham City, UT. When his health started failing, he became a resident of Sunshine Terrace in Logan, UT. There, he was cared for and loved by many of the nurses and attendants. They often commented on how sweet he was and how he always had a special smile for everyone. Theron is survived by one brother and three sisters: Leon Sharon Kotter, Howell, UT; LaRee K. Lucus, Brigham City, UT; Janice Alan White, Quinn, OR; and Vernice Chad Winn, Nephi, UT. Many nieces, nephews, and cousin also survive him. His parents preceded him in death.
