Teddy Rhoades

Theodore "Teddy" Gray Rhoades, 10, of Bowmansville, 5th-grader at Blue Ball Elementary School, and precious son of Matthew T. & Jaclyn M. (Zuzzio) Rhoades, passed away at Hershey Medical Center on Friday, September 29, 2023. Teddy attended therapy at the Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development. His special needs began at only 3 months of age but with the tender love and dedication of his family, he participated in life's events as any child would. Teddy's presence brough joy to all who were around him. It was evident that Teddy deeply loved his siblings. He had amazing teachers who worked with him every day, and in turn Teddy taught others too. He taught others patience and understanding. Teddy was recognized by many because he attended all the local community events and he loved to be at the Easter Egg hunts and Halloween gatherings. His family experienced the love of the Make A Wish Foundation when they took Teddy to Walt Disney World. Teddy saw the world not through his eyes, but through the touch, warmth, and kindness of his family, teachers, therapists, and friends. Teddy will forever be remembered as a special gift to all who had the privilege of spending time with him. In addition to his parents, Teddy is survived by three siblings, Matlyn, Mary, & Austyn; grandparents, John & Christy Rhoades and Tom & Mary Zuzzio; Aunt & Uncles, Scott & Jennifer Rhoades, Stephanie & Kevin Scheffel, Zach & Michelle Zuzzio, Charlie & Sunshine Zuzzio, Tony & Carri Zuzzio, Kirstin Zuzzio & Josh Zarnoth; and 13 cousins, Conner, Jenner, Riley, A.J., Reagan, Zoe, Zach Jr., Tree, Penelope, Oliver, Jacob, Ben, and Anthony.
