Todd was a 1989 graduate of Shenandoah High School. He held many titles in his life, from operating heavy equipment to truck driving, but his favorite role was being a father. He loved nothing more than spending time with his wife, children, and family. He was always there for them and loved spending time with them, whether it was playing cards, buggy rides, or having a fire.

He was passionate about his work over the years in transmission and distribution pipeline, superintending, operating and hauling heavy equipment, machinery, traveling and much more. As many would say, Todd was the hardest working man and truly the jack of all trades.

Todd was an avid outdoorsman and a collector of guns, knives and hats. He especially enjoyed woodworking, mowing grass and music. He was also a fan of square body Chevrolet trucks. Todd loved traveling, hunting, sports and socializing. He was a member of the Belle Valley American Legion Post #641.

Todd worked throughout his illness, despite the battle, he never lost his sense of humor. Throughout his entire journey, he cracked jokes, made silly faces and always had a way of being the light in the room. He is a proud Grandfather and said everything is better when the grandkids are there. He effortlessly became the heart of any gathering and is universally adored by all who he crossed paths with. He had a great ability to make others smile and his sense of humor, kindness and loyalty will be missed.
