Sad anniversary on the passing of a good man. Hugs to the family.

My condolences to the Latshaw family. Todd was the first friend I met in High School. Even though I did not see or talk to him after graduation, the memories would always come back during certain things I found myself doing. A good heart? Definitely, as Freshmen Biology students him and I were the only ones who thought it would be a great idea to get a wedding gift for our Teacher. He was "macho" type man but he was touched that 2 kids he nicknamed Hansel and Gretel, cared enough to do...

I am deeply sorry for your loss. We don’t understand why some loved ones depart so early but trust in the Lord that he is at peace and you will be joined again. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers daily.

It’s hard to capture in a few words what it was that made Todd so special. But this picture hints of it- the sly smile that said if something fun or funny hadn’t already happened it was certainly about to.
The world was his playground. Everyone he met became a valued character in the long running, ongoing play that was his life. The memory of a small role in that wonderful play is our inheritance from Todd.
Our lives are a little less bright in his absence. And yet we can’t help...

In my time on this planet I have had the opportunity to meet a lot of wonderful caring people, Todd is on the top of that list. Although I only knew him through our golf league and few phone calls each interaction was a pleasure. He will be sorely missed by all. Condolences to the entire family.

Todd and I shared a trainer briefly, for him. She asked him on a scale of 1-10 how motived was he to exercise. He told her a zero.

Godspeed. Sleep well with the other heroes.
