Later that same year, he married Mae Taylor Richards in the Salt Lake Temple, his wife of 66 years before her passing in 2001.

He received a number of awards and distinctions during his career. He served as President of the Salt Lake Underwriters, the Utah Life Underwriters, and the Utah Chapter of C.L.U. After retirement, both he and Mae served as missionaries in the Virginia Roanoke Mission for the LDS Church.

He is survived by his sisters, Leah Healy and Ruth Stirling; by his four children, T. Stephen Fotheringham (Darla) of Salt Lake City; Suzanne F. Clark of Las Vegas; Robert S. Fotheringham (Kathy) of Colorado Springs; and Patricia F. Loewi (Andy) of Denver; and by 18 grandchildren and 41 great-grandchildren. Theron left a legacy of hard work, thrift and positive thinking. He spent his childhood on farms and ranches and worked his way through college during the great depression. Throughout his life, he was often heard teaching his motto: "Today is the greatest day of your life." Memorial services will be held Wednesday, April 19, 2006, 12:00 noon at Wasatch Lawn Mortuary, 3401 S. Highland Drive.
