Ted C. Livingston

Ted Livingston, age 58, of Kettering, Ohio, passed away peacefully on May 3, 2025. He was born on September 20, 1966, in Dayton, Ohio, to the late Edward and Janet Livingston, and grew up alongside his two brothers, Gary and Greg.

He is survived by his devoted sons, Nathan (Natalie) Livingston and Nicholas (Erin) Livingston; five cherished grandchildren—Grant, Hudson, Rowan, Troy Livingston, and Charlotte Rice; and his brothers, Greg (Lucy) and Gary (Brooke) Livingston.

A proud 1984 graduate of Kettering Fairmont High School, Ted went on to serve his country with honor in the United States Marine Corps—a service he held with deep pride throughout his life. Following his military service, Ted pursued a career in the electrical trade, becoming a highly respected Master Electrician.

Ted had a natural gift for fixing things and a passion for working with his hands. Whether crafting, tinkering, or tackling a complex repair, he was always ready to help family and friends with kindness and skill. He was a devoted family man who found joy in coaching his sons in baseball and later took great pride in being the #1 fan of his grandchildren.
