Gary W. Studebaker is an older brother of Ted Studebaker. He served in BVS and IVS as an agriculturalist in the country of Laos.

He also taught special education at National University.
Douglas E. Studebaker is the younger brother of Ted Studebaker. He prepared for a career in social work and business at Austin Peay State University (BS) and UCLA (MSW/MBA). He had a lengthy social services career in developmental disabilities, home health care, hospice, and employee counseling programs. Later he cofounded and managed an interior design and home furnishings business. Currently, he manages an Airbnb hospitality business, builds environmentally friendly tree houses, and coaches high school pole vault athletes.
"An Ohio farm boy with a freshly acquired master's in social work and a relentless zest for life entered the war in Vietnam in the late 1960s. Ted Studebaker volunteered not to rout out the enemy but to nurture the roots of agricultural minorities in the central highlands. Ted's devotion to the work and love for the people prompted him to volunteer for a third year; shortly thereafter he was killed by Vietnamese forces. Ted's story as traced by two of his seven siblings, brothers Gary and Doug Studebaker, stands as a testament to family kinship, steadfast faith, and human solidarity."
