Hi Todd, I thought I would stop by to say that I am thinking of you and miss you always. I plan to stop by your grave soon and put some flowers out in honor of you and gay pride. I wish you were still here to share more with me and your family, and friends. Until we see each other on the other side again. Rest now sweet prince.

Todd

For some reason you are in my thoughts, I miss you and wish we would have reconnected before you passed. You were such a great friend and I truly miss you! We had so much fun in our teen years and you let me take my driving test in your car. We went to Prom together (best friend thing) I miss you and love you! Visit me in my dreams.

Hey Todd, its Erik. I just wanted you to know how much your death had an effect on my life. Before you passed I lost Tom Knight, another one of my "childhood" best friends. I'm only 45 years old for Pete's sake and I've out lived both of you! It just doesn't make sense to me but what is does do is make me live everyday to the fullest. I'm married now to my partner of 10 yrs. We got married on my parents property and it was the best day of my life! Filled with so much love and I thank God everyday that he gave me Dan. Someone who I adore and who adores me. I know that your in a wonderful place now with your Dad and other loved ones. A place that we'll all meet you again when our time comes and God calls us all home. I hope your at peace my friend and if you see my Grandma and Aunt Tammy, pls. tell them Hi and I love and miss them! Til we meet again my friend, you are missed.

October 6, 2013

hey todd its been almost 4 years since you went to the great hotel in the sky think of you so often and wish i could hang out with you like we did so many times before, time does help the grieving process but i will never get over your cute smile and the charm and charisma that were you , you had a way about you and that we all miss so much your friend Robert

Hey there Alley,

Tyson here, I am visiting here in Seattle for my Grandma’s 85th Birthday and was talking about you with a friend and someone overheard some of our conversation and told me you had moved to a better place. My heart dropped Todd with sadness; I however know that you are in a better place.

In many ways I am angry that you are gone but touched that, I had been a part of your life. When I saw you in March of 09 it was as if it was 1989 all over again, I am so happy something brought us back together that on last time, here on earth anyway.

Mrs. Alley and Sheila, I am so sorry for our loss of Todd. He has affected many people in such a wonderful way. I have been blessed to know Todd for over 20 years now and I am better for having done so.

RIP my friend,

T. BOX

Hi Todd, your Mother has just interned you and your father. I am sorry I missed the internment ceremony, but I am happy that there is a physical place I can come and talk with you and your father now. Like so many of your friends I miss you daily. Sheila has been a great friend and keeps me in the loop. I will always love you, and cherish our years together. The photo added here was taken by me on Dougs big boat. Doug and I both plan to visit soon. Your always in my heart, and I will always keep you there.

From time to time, I can't help but to check in to this site. It seems that No matter how much time goes by,I still have trouble believing that you is really gone! I still get the urge to pick up the phone and call you, and than it hits me all over again. Like a ton of bricks. I wish so badly that I would have let you come to New Jersey with me. I know in my heart that if I did, you would still be here! I doubt if I will ever get over that. I know you are in a much better place and we will "No doubt" be together again in that better place that doesn't have all of the harsh realities of this world! So, until then.... I will have to find some way to move forward and continue to make a better life for myself.

Hey Todd, its me again. I want to thank you for your friendship, your kindness, your understanding that some of our acquaintances could never understand. I want to say "Sorry" for that fight we had at Dens apt that one day. I'm asking for forgiveness for some of the lies I've told you over the years, I want to thank you for being a friend. I hope you saw that I was a friend too. After every appt. I've had at Harborview this year, Greg and I stop off at that Catholic church there on 9th and say a prayer for your family and light a candle or two. Just listen to me if you can every once in awhile. I talk to you alot while I'm on the bus to work. I'm still good, this weekend was real hard, you know why, but I made it through clean. I sure miss you dude, ole "Double D". I'll see you on the other side, yeah ? Love, Ki Lai

Todd,
Give me the strength to accept the things I cannot change and the courage to change the things I can. I'm trying Todd, it's so hard. Through the years of knowing you, I thought to myself that I would know you till the golden years. It pisses me off you're not here. I miss talking with you, on our rides into the city, catching up on everything. I miss that so much, I miss your friendship pal. I really do.

October 28, 2010

Hey it's me KiLaiT. It's taken me over a year to write this. There were gaps when we didn't see each other for quite sometime. And I just kept hoping, your number would pop up on my cell, with you on the other end asking, "What are you doing ?" I miss you so much. There is not a day as I go to work on the bus or wherever that I don't think about you. You and I have traveled many roads here in the city. And every corner has a story. I kick myself wishing I would have stayed with you that night. Thanks for helping me out later on, I know that was you....Ben Franklin. I loved you man and so did Greg even though he didn't show it. See ya.

I know I had posted an entry about a year ago but been thinking about Todd a lot especially now that your Dad is with you. Todd you brought many smiles to my life I know it was many years ago as you being my first :) You were always a sweetheart, very respectful and quite the gentleman and later years after we broke up you were still the sweetest ever and always had a smile on your face and so kind to me and everyone you came across. I am so glad I had the opportunity to know you and have you in my life even if for such a short time. You are in my thoughts and just sad I didn't get the opportunity to get back in touch before you had passed. All my love always sweetie !! Until we meet again xoxo

We knew Todd to be a generous, fun loving guy, who was a good friend to many. "The good die young" surely applies to Todd. Our deepest sympathy is sent out to his family and those who who were closest to him, and loved him so much. Remember, in love, there is no beginning or end. Love is eternal. We will miss you Todd, our friend. Laura Torrey and Chip Cheney

To the Alleys I send my deepest, heart felt condolences.
Its been nearly 30 years since I've seen Todd, however, I'll never forget his kindness. He was also a gentle soul, I don't think I ever saw him angry. My fondest memories of Todd were when we played soccer together, his dad, Jack, was our coach.
Todd, you left too soon and you will be deeply missed, I'm saddened that I take this time to remember you rather than have had known you in your later years.
Peace

Sheila Peterson

February 25, 2010

I'm so sorry to all of you who lost touch with Todd! Anything you want to know, you can contact me. Todd, I forgive you for leaving us...I know you're happier now. See you when we see you! I LOVE YOU MY FRIEND. R.I.P.
Gandalf misses his daddy. DUNCAN MISSES YOU, AND YOUR OTHER MOTHER JAN MISSES YOU TOO!!! OUR MEMORIES ROCK!

Todd Alley was one of my first childhood best friends. I have wonderful memories of growing up with him on 7th. Ave. in Burien and we were pretty close during our Cedarhurst years. We unfortunatly grew apart as we got older. I remember seeing him a few times while we were going to Highline but even though we never remained in contact with each other, I will ALWAYS cherish my memories of him. I was absolutely blown away when I found out about his death from my Mother. To his Family, all I can say is that I am SO SORRY for your loss! My only regret is finding out too late to pay my respects to his family at his service. Todd, I'll always Love you! See you on the other side my friend...

Todd was my first true love, my best friend at that time, my partner in crime and my everything. I am so sorry handsome that I put off seeing you until I got back into town - and all that happened while I was gone. If only I had known, you know I would have been here in an instant. I am thankful for our last conversation, I will miss and love you always. No one else in my life has ever measured up to you - wait for me on the other side for I pray I will see you again someday.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Although I didn’t have the honor of knowing Todd well, I did have the pleasure of seeing him socially on several occasions. His energy and spirit left enough of an impression on me to remember him many years later and wonder what he might be up to.

I wish you all the best in the coming times, I know from my own experiences that the pain of such a loss can be overwhelming at times, but hang in there, the pain will fade and be replaced by the wonderful memories you must have.

Take care.

To the Family of Mr. Alley,

Although I did not personally know Mr. Alley, I would like to take a moment to express my deepest sympathy. No doubt such a loss of a dear loved one will be felt by many. Long ago the faithful man job asked if an able-bodied man died can he live again. The comforting answer is yes. Our God the Creator is yearning to bring back to life those who have died. (Job 14:13-15) May this and other promises recorded in God's word the Bible continue to comfort your family.
