Sending my condolences and prayers to the family at this time of bereavement. Bird was such a cool, comical guy!! I remember his smile and the good energy he had as my classmate. May he rest in peace and I pray for comfort for all that knew him and loved him dearly.
Please accept my deepest condolences to your family during this heartbreaking time. Although Bird was very young when our paths diverged, memories of our family and childhood bring a sense of connection. You are in my thoughts and prayers and may comfort and strength around you all during this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers to the Gill family. Theo “Bird” was like my brother since Elementary and he’s one of few that led with respect when it came to me! I am grateful to have known him & kept in touch as recent as his birthday this year! May you now REST in Peace and Power,my brother!
Wow! Just browsing through the obituaries and saw that Theodore has passed. He was one of the many students at Columbia High School who I considered my children. Sincere condolences are extended to his family, schoolmates and friends during this time of bereavement. I am Lifting all in prayer 🙏
My deepest sincere condolences to the entire family of as I know him “BIRD”. You will be truly missed. I have more than a million memories that I can reflect upon. From the time you were a little seedy headed youngster till a grown man. Take your rest. Gone too soon. I’ll continue to pray for strength for Mrs Mary and the family. 💕💕
Bird, I’m lost for words I don’t know what to say I know I’m going to miss you and our many talks. We were family as Unc will always say. I love you . Tay!!!!
Don’t Cry for Me
Don’t cry for me today,
I wouldn’t want it this way.
Be strong and smile,
for you will see me in a while.
I know you miss me,
but now in Heaven I will be.
Do not keep your sad face.
I am in a much better place.
Do not let your tears fall,
for I cannot wipe them all.
Yes, my life wasn’t long,
But I’m begging you to be strong.
Live every moment as if it were your last.
I won’t forget any memories that have passed.
Cherish life and love
as I watch you from above.
As I remember all of the good things,
I come to see I have gpotten my wings.
It is time to go and fly.
As your guardian angel I will try.
Don’t cry for me today.
I’m on my way.
Soaring through the sky,
I watch all of you telling me Goodbye…
My Brother, My Friend, If tears could build a stairway, and a memory lane, I’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. We’ve shared our lives these many years of love, and brotherhood. God you gave us Bird, for a little while now you have him safe in your arms again. We don’t understand why, but we trust he is safe. Draw near to us in our sadness, stand with us in our pain, and help us feel Your love. Renew our faith and fill the void with Your presence, knowing we will be reunited one day. Continue to Bless the Halloway and Gill Family with Strength, Comfort and Healing at this time. Amen
RIP, Bird. My prayers are to your family, friends and our classmates for comfort and peace
