Theodore G. "Ted" Ebelberger

Theodore G. Ebelberger, affectionately known as Theo, died Saturday, July 19, 2025, at the age of 79. Born on December 20, 1945, in Columbus, Ted lived a full and faithful life devoted to God, family, and his church. He was known for his meticulous financial wisdom, generous heart, and unwavering dedication to helping others find hope and purpose through their own walk with Christ. He was a veteran of the U.S. Army. Ted retired from The O. M. Scotts Company in Marysville and later served as CFO of UCO Industries, where he continued to use his gifts with integrity and purpose before retiring a second time. Yet his greatest calling was sharing the love of Jesus. He often reminded others that faith is not about religion — “Religion is manmade,” he’d say — “but about a personal relationship with the Triune God: Father, Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit.” Ted was a longtime treasurer at Community United Calvary Church (CUCC), where he also loved teaching adult Sunday school. His faith, insight, and humble leadership left a lasting impact on many lives. He also cherished the simple joys of life: golfing with friends, cheering on his grandkids at their many sporting events, soaking up the sun on beach vacations, and hauling his wife Holly, without complaint, to countless horse shows. He is survived by his beloved wife, Holly Ebelberger; children, Kristen (Bill) LeRoy, Dublin; Kim (John) VandeMark, Gahanna; Karyn (Bob) White of New Albany; bonus children, Erin (Isaac)  Heyne, Coldwater; Tommy (Katie) Ross Jr., Richwood; grandchildren, Jacob LeRoy, Minnesota; Julia and Jenna LeRoy, Dublin; Zoe Van de Mark, Gahanna; JJ Van de Mark, California; Izzy and Lukas White, New Albany; Braxton Taylor and Weston Heyne, Coldwater; Jaxon Ross, Richwood; sister, RoseMary Savely, Reynoldsburg; and a wide circle of friends and church family who were blessed to know him. He was preceded in death by his father, Anthony J. Ebelberger, mother, Marie Ebelberger, and his brother, Anthony F. Ebelberger. Funeral services will be held at the Community United Calvary Church (CUCC) on Friday, July 25, 2025, at 11:00 AM with Pastor David Hudson officiating. Burial will follow at the Claibourne Cemetery, where there will be Military Honors given by the Vietnam Veterans of America #1095. Friends may call Thursday from 3 to 7 PM at the church. In keeping with Ted’s generous spirit and deep faith, in lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in his honor to Community United Calvary Church, 273 Race St., Richwood, OH 43344. The Stofcheck-Ballinger Funeral Home, Richwood is assisting the family with arrangements. Condolences and remembrances may be expressed at www.stofcheck-ballinger.com Theo’s legacy is one of faith, love, laughter, and the Truth he never stopped sharing — that Jesus loves you, and the relationship He offers changes everything.

He was so sweet & he will be greatly missed & my greatest memory of him was when you guys drove 4 hours to Washington Pa when my brother was on his death bed & Ted took him by his hand and said Johnny if you can hear me squeeze my hand & he did & Ted led him to Jesus!

It was such a joy to have you both in our lives.

Until we meet again, go in Peace our friend knowing how much you were loved. #22 from: Gene Brumbaugh Marysville Thu, Jul 24, 2025 at 1:04 PM You have my condolences on your loss.

I was honored and blessed to be adopted and accepted into this family at such a young age of 7. Uncle Ted was such a Stellar Man of God. Honestly, I just felt he’d be around this world forever, as his energy and youthfulness were boundless. What he did for family and friends, co-workers, even those that he just met were such a fine example of being like being the Hands and Feet of Jesus. I loved the deep spiritual conversations we had. Heaven has been blessed by his arrival. Can’t wait to see him again. #24 from: Walter Hill Beverly Hills, Ca. Sun, Jul 27, 2025 at 12:59 PM We are all fortunate to have had Ted for as long as we did. He was kind, honest and caring. I was blessed to have him as my brother in Christ. Thank you so much Holly, for notifing me of his passing. I will celebrate knowing that he is gone to be with the Lord. Warmly, Walter Hill #25 from: Toni Black 629 W 8 th st Marysville Oh 43040 Mon, Jul 28, 2025 at 7:00 PM Holly, I’m so sorry to hear about Ted.

Wish you well hope to see you sometime soon. Take care. Love, Toni
