When he died, which person listed had his body cremated and his ashes molded into Frisbees?

Different sources can be found disputing who was the first and when an inventor of the frisbee occurred, but of the options listed, the individual who was cremated and had his remains turned into Frisbees was ‘Steady’ Ed Headrick (1924 - 2002).

Born in Pasadena, California in the U.S., Headrick had a unique life and varied experiences that included being embedded behind enemy lines as an advance military scout spying on Nazi troop movements in WWII.

He is most popularly remembered for his vision of turning a toy- the Frisbee- into the basis for a host of disc sports. Headrick is known as “the Father of Disc Sports,“ and “The Father of Disc Golf”. He was nicknamed “Steady” for his composure and accuracy while making the toughest throws under pressure.

Upon his death, Headrick was cremated and his ashes were molded into a limited number of discs per his wishes. The discs were given to friends and family, and some were sold with all proceeds going toward funding the ‘Steady’ Ed Memorial Disc Golf Museum at the Professional Disc Golf Association, International Disc Gold Center in Columbia County, Georgia.

One of the discs that contains Headrick’s ashes was thrown on the roof of the center by his wife Farina at the grand opening to fulfill the adage, “Old Frisbee players are like old Frisbee’s...They don’t die, they just land up on the roof.” Those that believe in this philosophy are known as Frisbyterians.
