Theodore Belanger Obituary
Pittsfield, NH - It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share that Theodore "Teddy" Belanger, left our world on Wednesday, October 9, 2024 on his own terms.
Teddy came into our lives at the age of 3 1/2 and from the first day we met him, he has been our cherished boy. The hurt of losing him so soon will never leave our hearts, but it will dim with time and be replaced by the bright thoughts of his beautiful smile, quick wit, "Bear" hugs and his trademark response of "I love you more".
Teddy was a kind, gentle human being who touched more lives than can be counted. He loved breakfast foods, riding his motorcycle, Scooby Doo and taking things apart just to "see how they worked".
Teddy is survived by his parents: Donald R. Belanger, Jr and Karen P. (Gilson) Belanger of Pittsfield NH; his "Gram": Florence Gilson; his "Memere": Rita Belanger; his sister: Crystal Williams of Kansas; and many extended family and friends. Teddy was predeceased by his "Gramp": William Gilson, Jr; his "Pepere": Donald Belanger, Sr; and his cherished companion and confidante: Edward Boesel.
Calling hours will be held on Tuesday, October 22, 2024 at Roan Family Funeral Home - Still Oaks Chapel, 1217 Suncook Valley Highway in Epsom from 4pm to 6pm. There is no burial.
Teddy struggled with mental health issues throughout his life and just could not seem to find his way to happiness. We are sharing this information not only to honor Teddy but also to let anyone who may be struggling with mental health issues know that YOU MATTER and there is nothing to be ashamed of. As difficult as it may seem, seek help from a friend, loved one, your doctor, NAMI 1-800-242-6264 or the suicide crisis line at 988.
"Our Precious Bear, you were not born from our blood but from our hearts. You will always be there until the day we meet again. Love you more. Mum and Dad."

Teddy was such a sweet soul with a smile that would melt your heart. I'm so thankful to have had him in our lives (friends with my son in high school). May you find some comfort in knowing how many of us are thinking of Teddy and remembering the way he touched everyone with his kind heart.

I only knew him for a couple weeks. I was a coworker of his. He was nothing but kind and gentle to everyone he saw. He was a truly sweet person. I'm so sorry for your loss.
