In Memory Of

Alex J. Teberg, age 31, of Helena

November 23, 1987 – September 5, 2019

Alex James Teberg was born on November 23, 1987 at St. Peter’s Hospital in Helena, Montana. He was the second child, and the first son, of Colleen and Greg Teberg. Alex grew up in the Helena valley and attended Four Georgians Elementary and C.R. Anderson Middle School. Weekends and summers during his childhood were often spent along the shores of Hauser Lake, camping, swimming, and seeking adventure with his family. During his early years, Alex enjoyed playing team sports, including baseball, basketball, and soccer. Together throughout their youth, Alex and his older sister enjoyed riding bikes, hiking, and exploring the creeks and waterways near their childhood home. Alex shared many memorable vacations and travels with his family. They valued days on ski slopes and rounds of golf together.

In 2006, Alex graduated from Capital High School. Thereafter, he moved to Missoula and studied history at the University of Montana. Alex was an ardent reader and a film and video game enthusiast. His movie collection was unrivaled. As a history aficionado, Alex took particular interest in war history. Although reserved and humble, Alex was a talented writer of poetry and song lyrics. He enjoyed listening to a vast array of musical genres. He had an imaginative and inquisitive mind and regularly engaged in thought-provoking conversations with family and friends. Alex loved animals and cared deeply for all of his pets.

Alex’s memorable laugh, warm smile, and sense of humor brought joy to others. He never failed to make friends anywhere he lived. He held many interesting jobs over the years, and he always appreciated and befriended his coworkers. He was a supportive, caring, and compassionate person. He dedicated time to adult education and participated in literacy programs, helping adults learn English. In any context, Alex found fulfillment in assisting others.

Alex passed away at home on September 5, 2019. He is survived by his father, Greg Teberg; mother, Colleen (Scott) Teberg; sister, Lisa (Rory) Teberg-Johnson; and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Alex was a devoted son, brother, and friend. Despite challenges, Alex persevered through adversity and overcame significant obstacles. He had many goals, dreams, and aspirations for his future. He was a kindhearted person who left a lasting impression on all he knew. Alex will forever be remembered as a kind and generous soul. He will be missed dearly.

A celebration of Alex’s life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, September 13th at Anderson Stevenson Wilke Funeral Home, 3750 N. Montana Ave., Helena, MT, with a reception to follow in the social hall of the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, a donation in Alex’s memory can be made to the charity of your choice.

    To all the Tebergs: I am so sorry for the passing of Alex. I had the pleasure of getting to know Alex a lot better in Missoula, but even in childhood he was always the same goofy, fun-loving and kind soul. I hope you can find some solace in knowing that he had a special impact on many lives, and will be dearly missed. You guys are in my prayers.

    To the Teberg Family and friends,   
      I am so sorry for your loss. I wanted to share with you how much your son, brother, and friend meant to me.  He was always there for me, he’d always be the first to ask how I was doing, and genuinely listened, caring about how I felt.  Alex had an amazing way of letting you feel like you could be yourself. You didn’t have to change, have a filter, or act any differently when you were with him. He wanted you to be who you were and accepted you; blemishes, beauty, and all. Alex was a person who made you feel better when you were with him. I’m going to miss Alex and will be thinking of him often. 

    Alex, 
       You’re gone, and my heart is heavy with knowing I’ll never get to see you again. I’m sorry that I wasn’t more present in your life in the last few years. I will always remember you and how much you mean to me.  We spent so much time laughing, joking, and living life together.  Driving around Helena, freestyle rapping, talking about life, school, music, poetry, and all the fun we went through in High School. Me, you, and Cody would stay up till the wee hours of the morning, dubbing over movies, creating our own stories, characters, and plots over the top of classic movies. Playing video games and board games until the break of dawn.
     
       We could talk about anything, and often did. Nothing was off the table and we would chat and discuss the mysteries of life until we had a sense of an answer, or perhaps added to the confusion of this mysterious puzzle. I will cherish our time together for the rest of my life. 
              
    I loved hearing your poetry and one of the proudest moments of you was when you showed me your published poem. Page number 2 in a compilation. You were so happy and proud to have your words printed and published in a book. It was an amazing feat, my heart was full to see your name and poem printed. Your way with words and expression of emotion was deserving of that publication.  You are an amazing person Alex; I wish you peace in your next step. You will always be in my heart. 
     
    I love you my brother,
    – Jesse Hoffmann

    The Tebergs –
    Sending love and prayers in this difficult time, its hard to put into words the person your son was. He was an amazing friend and I am truly sad that he is gone. We spent so much time together, between Blake, Alex and me we were always together. I have such great memories of everything we did. I wish I could have been there today.

    I will always remember you and the wonderful times we had together. I wish I could have seen you again but you were never out of my thoughts and prayers. I hope you are at peace and I hope to see you again.

    Love
    Josh Underkofler

    Colleen, I never met your son, but as a mother that lost her son, when he was 24, son in law, at 30, and grandson at 16, my heart aches for all that loved him. I know that grief way too well. May God wrap His arms around each and everyone of you and give you peace and comfort.
