His children were the most important thing in his life. Nothing made him happier than being involved in their lives. He would want them to know he was very proud of them and wanted the very best for them. Todd had a profound love for animals, caring for any animal in need, including cats, dogs, chickens, llamas, horses, and birds. For him, this was a passion and it brought him joy. Todd loved being a part of the Palisade community. He was a talented cook who loved hosting cookouts for friends and family. His many other talents allowed him to be involved in numerous local businesses in various roles, including firefighter, mechanic, cook, bartender, lawn care professional, and as the owner and operator of Touchdown Entertainment. His happiest times were running the Palisade Cafe alongside his family.
