Theo Stith Programs

Since his siblings were adults or much older than he, Theo recognized them as authorities in his life. Therefore, he established sibling relationships with his oldest nieces and nephews. Now, just because he interacted with them on sibling level, that did not mean they had equal rights. For, Theo pulled rank whenever his authority was threaten—“I’m your uncle.” But, that was clearly understood.

His relationship with his mother and father was very tight-fitted. But, Theo never liked “tight” or “fixed,” so his parents had to scramble to keep up with his fast pace. “What are you doing Theo?” His father managed and supported Theo’s physical activities, while his mother prayed for him and taught him the God’s Word. After making the most important decision of his life, to accept Jesus Christ’s atonement, Theo joined Mt. Rose Church in Dallas Texas. Under the leadership of Pastor Jeffrey Thomas, Theo and his nephew/brothers Markeit and Markal were baptized on November 7, 2012. This held as the most eventful moment in his life until he became a father. Theo said that he was brought to joyful tears at the arrival of his “My Girl” Braxtyn Kariyah Lynn Stith. “Look at that,” he said seriously while giggling. Although it’s hard to pin a time when Theo was not smiling, up to the birth of his daughter, his heart had be heavy since the loss of his mother Vikki Lynn on July 28, 2015. Suddenly, on July 15, 2022 the lively Theo Mann was tragically taken away from us. It felt like our hearts were ripped from their cages. Theo is gone. But nah, we still see you Theo, that smile, that laughter, that joy. We see your love; it is written all over your face. We hear your giggles; you made us laugh too. Nothing can kill that.
