Dr. Eastburn served on the City Council from 1999 – 2003 and ran for Mayor in 2003.

Colorado Springs Mayor Lionel Rivera released a statement saying:

"My wife Lynn and I and my City Council colleagues extend our sincere condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Dr. Ted Eastburn. He was a true friend and we are deeply saddened by his passing. Ted was dedicated to our community and his life deserves to be honored for his service to his patients, Memorial Health System, and our city. It was an honor to serve with him for four years on city council. As a council member Ted always cared for and worked to support our employees and the citizens who elected him to office. We will miss him."
