"The City of Danbury is deeply saddened by the passing of Majority Leader and Councilman At-Large Gregg William Seabury," the city said in a statement Monday.
Seabury had served more than a decade on the City Council.
He is on the ballot for Tuesday's election as a Republican candidate for an at-large City Council seat.
Seabury had served on various boards and commissions before being elected to the City Council in 2003.
"He was a beloved member of the Rogers Park Middle School, Broadview Middle School, and Danbury High School families during his three decades as a science teacher," the statement said. "Mr. Seabury will also be remembered as a coach and as a tireless civic leader devoted to the Danbury community."
In addition to his work on the City Council, Seabury was a former member of the Danbury Republican Town Committee and a former member of the Connecticut Republican State Central Committee.
He is survived by his wife, Barbara, and his four children.
"The loss will be deeply felt by the entire community," the city said. "The City of Danbury wishes to extend its prayers to the councilman’s family and friends."
Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.
