STEBBINS, Theodore L., Jr. “Ted” Age 49, of Deering NH passed away on January 12, 2019 due to complications related to a traumatic brain injury (TBI) sustained at age 16. Ted attended Belmont Hill School and, after his accident, Massachusetts Hospital School in Canton. He has lived at Robin Hill Farm, a residential brain injury home in Deering NH, for the past 27 years.
Ted will be remembered for his infectious sense of humor, his courage in facing disability and his deep desire to help others. He was featured in a full page article in the Boston Globe in 2005 as a courageous survivor of TBI and also on the 2017 Facebook page of the Hillsboro District Food Pantry as a weekly helper and donor. He had an ownership share and enjoyed a role helping with marketing for Amazing Grace Private Home Care in Weymouth, a family business operated by his brother Harrison.
He is survived by his parents, TL and Lucinda Stebbins of Naples FL, Chestnut Hill MA and Melvin Village NH, his two brothers Harrison (“Rusty”) of West Roxbury and Tom and his wife Johanna of Delmar NY. He was a loving uncle to Lyla and Grayson Stebbins and a loving partner to Cathy Panniello, who lived with him at Robin Hill Farm.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Hillsboro District Food Pantry in Hillsboro NH or Granite State Adaptive in Mirror Lake NH. A celebration of his life will be held at a later date.
