26 September 2020 Saturday 8:40 PM MST : Todd, how is it that 15 years has passed since your body has been gone; though definitely not your presence/ resonance? Tonight sitting on the sofa we sat on together before you died, listened to your story of heartbreak from the death of a friend, also at the same time feeling the eternal flame burning inside you with love for life, people. Thank you for sharing the lessons of your life, at DeVry, in your Jeep, with people, at your home, with your dog and family. Miss and love you. Always, Paul

Worked with Todd years ago. He always made the workplace a fun place to work. I will never forget him wearing a seat belt as a belt to hold up his pants. What a great guy! My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

I would like to share a funny story about an 'adventure' I had with Todd. He asked me to go up to his dad's cabin in Pinetop with him right after Xmas 2004. Originally we were to leave at noon. But, for those of you who know Todd, noon turned into 2:00 which turned into 4:00 which turned into 8:00! We arrived in Payson hungry and thirsty. All of the restaurants were closed so we had to stop at the only open grocery store. As we left the parking lot, Todd took a left in lieu of taking a right. We drove for about 45 mins before realizing we were going the wrong way. We got the best laugh out of that. So typical of Todd but oh so funny! Needless to say, we had a great time together. Todd....thanks for that! I will NEVER forget that trip!!! I miss you...KEL

Todd was a close friend to my friend Kelli. Each time spent with Todd was a BLAST! He was always acting silly and having fun. He made us laugh with his witty inventions and odd sense of style. Todd, you will be missed, memories of you will continue to bring a chuckle and a smile to my face.

I just got word of this and am shocked. I only knew him for a short period of time and he was always a goofball and he definitely scored cool points when he showed off on his unicycle. I know that he is in a better place and hope that he is watching over all of us. Thanks for the laughs Todd...

My deepest sympathy to the DeGain family.
Todd and I had some good times together. He was one of those people that could just make me laugh. Although I only knew him for a few months, I will truly miss my friend.
This news was I’m sure sad for many.
God Bless!

Glenn,
I was watching the news today and saw your interview. My heart goes out to you and your family. I remember spending lunch hours talking about our children. I have rarely heard a father speak of his son with such love and appreciation for the person he was becoming. Remember, children are a blessing from God and only he determines the amount of time he loans them to us. Although I'm certain you miss him terribly, I believe Todd is in a better place. Appreciate the fond memories.
With heart felt sympathy,
Former coworker @ ND Resources

Dear Family and Friends,
I am shocked and sadden to hear of your loss. Todd was a great guy with an amazing zest for life and I will remember him dearly from all of time that we all spent together growing up. The band, the parties, the impossible sit up, the memories will always stay near and dear to my heart. I know from personal experience the pain that all of you are going through, but just know that you now have your own personal angel watching over you and you will always meet again in your dreams. With Much Love, Stephanie Murphy

Todd,
You are not forgotten by those whom you worked with at Semitool. Just days before we heard the news we were sharing anecdotes about your time with us. You never hesitated to "go after" any issue we were troubleshooting, and you brought a light-hearted zaniness to everything else.

Todd, I only meet you a few times through Kelli Sorrell, but we had fun and I know how dear you were to kelli, you were one of her best friends and shared laughter and good times which kelli will cherish in her heart forever. You will be missed by many and thought of daily. I will always remember you on the Bull at Grahams and how much fun we had that night and how you could not wait to get those pictures. May you rest in peace and know just how loved you were by all family and friends.
God be with you and know you will be missed.
Fondly, Elle Lewis

I was lucky to of known Todd. I first met him when I was just 17 and he took a chance on me and gave me a good job at Orion despite my complete lack of experience. Later became good friends and enjoyed later being his room mate for a couple of years. As I reflect, I know that I would not be the same person that I am today without his influence and that he has really helped me grow as a person. It seemed like almost anything I had a question on I could come to him and he almost always had a good answer or could point me in the right direction. Even latly I find my self getting stuck on something and than thinking "Todd would know!", just to be harshly reminded of reality. He was one of my very few true friends that would help me out be it to drop what he was doing and come help me if my truck broke down or just be someone to just talk to if I was depressed. I take comfort in knowing that he did live life to the fullest. I know he wouldn't want us to be sad and to be happy for the time we had with him.
Thanks for all the good times
