In Memoriam: Thomas Dalton Ebberts, Jr.

Thomas “Tommy” Dalton Ebberts, Jr., 58, passed away on April 26, 2020 in Canyon Lake. Tommy was born March 23, 1962 in Whittier, Calif.

Tommy was a devoted husband and father who is survived by his beloved wife Cindy, his children Robert, Jessica and James “JD” and his grandchildren Hailey, Hayden, Matilyn and Everitt, as well as two sets of parents, Tom and Barbara Ebberts of Canyon Lake and Jerry and Susan Foster of Lake Elsinore and four brothers Dale (Wilton, Calif.), Darren (Corona, Calif.), Danny (Menifee, Calif.) and Jason Foster (Mission Viejo, Calif.).

Tommy was a sports enthusiast, in particular, the family sport of motor racing. Tommy raced himself as well as supported his brothers and sons racing. In partnership with his father (Tom), Tommy started Ebbco Offroad in the early 1980s. Ebbco Offroad was recently resurrected by Tommy’s youngest brother (Danny) building race cars and producing parts using carbon fiber.

Tommy was a key person in the Southern California construction industry. He was an invaluable source of building material information to his many clients and the companies that he worked for.

Tommy overcame Cerebral Palsy by first learning to walk using braces and then to excel in soccer, motocross, water skiing, mountain and road bike racing and offroad racing.

Tommy enjoyed spending time away from work camping in Ocotillo Wells and more recently at the second home he and Cindy purchased at the Lake Havasu Landing Resort.

A celebration of Tommy’s life will be held on July 11 at 4:00 p.m. at the Elks Lodge in Wildomar.

Tommy is deeply missed by his family and friends.
