Excertps from his obituary said: "Todd had a deep love for music and comedy. He was a great man who touched everyone around him deeply. As a child he enjoyed sports and loved to play football. One of his proudest moments was when he earned his jump wings. He always had a great fear of heights and he felt he overcame it on that day. He loved his dogs, K.G. and Jables, and his family like no other. He will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him."
