..was never a dull moment with michael todd growing up. we had some great times living and working in St Louis during the late 8o's. beside him being a Missouri state wrestling champion, big mike was actively involved with the boy scouts. one of my favorite memories from that time was when he had gone on a weekend camping trip with his den. he was so excited to tell us of the fun he had that weekend. they were fortunate enough to have witnessed the great and beautiful aurora lights! one can...

..well mike, let me say the year 2o2o has been a tough one. no doubt after losing you, a choice was made to come out of that situation a bigger and better man, that was really tough. and as time goes on you, would think the pain of your passing should ease. let me be the first to say, it hasn't. we still hold on to your memories thru small things, remembering your love for animals will always be one of my favorites. let me introduce you to june, the not so mini, mini bull terrier. this dog is...

Big Mike, I caught myself thinking about our High School days today and you popped up! We had a lot of great times together. I loved grinding with you on the football field and in the wrestling room. I stayed in the game of football and I have grinded my way to be a D1 football coach. I think about you often. I miss your laugh and sense of humor. I wish I could travel back to about 1998 and stay for a week. I hope your doing well in heaven and that your parents and your boys are well!

today,
were going to honor and celebrate
the life of my son, Michael Todd.
.by living my own life with more
passion, purpose & pride than
you could ever even imagined..

you could ever imagine.
