Todd was, and will continue to be, such a joy. He made me laugh uncontrollably, always reached out and he was one of the most thoughtful humans. I feel lucky to have been a part of his life. Rest well Todd- you were & still are a gift before you even knew it.

Todd was a unique thinker, with a heart of gold. He was caring and compassionate to others, and only wanted the best for those around him. I'm happy to have been a part of his life, and am honored to call him a friend. My thoughts and sympathy are with the family and friends. Let your soul rest in peace buddy.

Deeply saddened to hear this! Todd was a dependable and hard working life guard and athlete, in high school. There was NO doubt he would become a man loved by all who knew him. RIP Todd

Todd was a gentle soul a gentle giant really. He was kind and generous to us. He brought us candy at Christmas and once when he and Gene couldn't use up a Hello Fresh food delivery he brought it to us. That was one of my favorite gifts ever. Ron asked for his help numerous times to do some heavy lifting and he was always right there. He even helped us with some personal challenges at one time drawing from his own experiences with mental illness. We were so fond of Todd and will miss him. Sending our love to you Gene and you family.
