Theodore “Teddy” Paisley Bone was born on February 13, 2009, and resided in Eastanollee, Georgia. He was taken too soon as the result of injuries sustained in a tragic automobile accident on June 29, 2024, at the age of 15.
Teddy was born on February 13, 2009, in Stephens County, Georgia, where he lived all his life. He was home-schooled and would be in 10th grade this fall. He was a member of Tom’s Creek Baptist Church and participated in youth activities there and at River Point Community Church in Demorest, Georgia, with which he was traveling the day of the accident. The group had been doing service projects in the community just before the accident occurred.
Teddy was a charming and vibrant young man, beloved by his family and friends. He loved basketball and participated in sports at Trinity Classical School, Upward Basketball, White Creek Christian Academy, and AAU Basketball. His laughter was infectious, he had boundless energy, he was full of life and always scheming up ways to spend time with friends. His passion for life, love for God, and unwavering loyalty to family and friends defined him. Teddy’s dreams were as big as his heart – including his dream of one day playing college basketball.
His family grieves that Teddy is no longer here but rejoices knowing that he is now in Heaven with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, looking forward to one day being reunited with sweet Teddy. As a celebration of Teddy’s life, his family chose to continue his legacy of bringing life and love to others by donating his organs.
Teddy is survived by his parents, Ricky and Leslie Bone of Eastanollee; his siblings, Robyn Bone, Starry Richard and husband Ryan Richard, Esther Bone, Abigail Bone, Kimberley Bone, Timothy Bone, Jonathan Bone, Autumn Bone of the home; and Christopher Bone of the home; grandmother, Angela Hagan; uncles and aunt, Brent Hagan, Clifford Bone, and Edith Hembree.
