Obituary for Curtis Todd Ebdon
Curtis Todd Ebdon, age 62, of Shelton entered into rest suddenly on Monday February 1, 2021 in his home. He was the devoted husband for over 10 years to Debra (Burton) DeMarco Ebdon. He was born in Meriden on March 25, 1958 son of the late Edgar Horswell Ebdon, Jr. and Mary Elizabeth Stout Ebdon. Curt’s career as a Graphic Designer spanned 40 years. He owned and operated his own business for over 20 years before accepting a position over a decade ago as a Senior Director of Design and Digital Print at Fairfield University.
Curt dedicated himself to his family, friends and community. When his children were young, he volunteered in several Shelton athletic programs as a coach, including Little League, Softball, Pop Warner football, and the Shelton High School Football team. Curt’s love for coaching and for the players he coached had an enormous impact on so many young lives.
He took on honorary roles as hype man for the nationally ranked Shelton Pop Warner Cheer Teams, Shelton Merch Designer, and Creative director for the band, Malpraktis. His kindness, humor, and his love for competition were felt by all who crossed his path. He will forever be remembered as a man who could make a stranger feel like a friend and a coach who made the impossible seem achievable.
Curt’s memory will live on through the model of fatherhood and kindness he created for his family and friends. It will live on through Christmas Eve celebrations, trips to Yankee Stadium, SEC football games, and eating wings at Porky’s.
He is the beloved father of Todd Ebdon, Dean Ebdon and his wife Melissa, Kyle Hallmark and her husband Brandon, and Kate Ebdon, step-father of Michael and Dominic DeMarco, proud grandfather of Bryce, Bentley and Oakley Hallmark and Nora Ebdon, loving brother of John Ebdon, Jeffrey Scott Ebdon and Drew Ebdon and his wife Sandra. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews.
Memorial contributions may be made to a Curt Ebdon Scholarship to benefit a graduating high school student athlete from Shelton and Ledyard High Schools.
