Ted Sills, 67, of Eatonton crossed his final finish line on Sunday, July 6, 2025.
Ted was born in Atlanta, GA, on August 4, 1957, to Roland Sills and Joyce Hobbs. Ted lived life in the fast lane – both racing literally and figuratively.
A true racing enthusiast.
Ted had a need for speed that never faded. Whether it was tearing down the drag strip or just cruising, his heart belonged to cars and racing. He wasn’t just a fan; he lived and breathed the adrenaline, the engines, and the freedom of the open road.
Beyond the roar of the engines, nothing made him prouder than being surrounded by those he loved. His greatest joy was spending time with family and friends – sharing laughs, telling stories, and building a legacy of love, loyalty, and horsepower.
Visitation will be held on Friday, July 11, 2025, at Vining Ivy Hill Chapel from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., followed by a service at 5:00 p.m.
Ted is survived by his wife, Kim Sills; children, Miles (Minda), Nicholas (Sami), Theo (Ester), and Alexander; grandchildren, Miley, Hunter, Natalie, Ripley, and Rory; brothers, Sheriff Howard Sills (Janet), Carter Sills; and sister, Beth Bridges.
