I'm sorry to hear about Todd. All I can think about is his laugh, and his love for life. The fun that we had at church, prom (both of them), ball games, and just catching up with each other when we had the time. I feel very fortunate to have known him, and to have been a small part of his life. Sharon & Debbie, my prayers are with you and your extended family.

I am so sorry for your loss. I met Tod last year and it was easy to talk to him and I just wish we had known him longer. It is hard to lose a loved one and when it is sudden we are totally unprepared. Losing him has left a void in your life, and I know first hand that God will see you through it. Keep his memory alive by doing things that he would want you to do. God loves you and so do I.

On this day that you are paying respect to Todd's memory, I also have fond memories of him. I remember his smile...it was always there, it was as if his lips just naturally curled upwards! I remember his sense of humor...you sometimes had to think twice about it, but then you would laugh out loud! I remember fun times in youth group and going to New York City! I remember fun times getting together with our families! I remember school....ugh! I remember one summer taking long bike rides with him all around Cascade Rd. and Quiggly St. and who knows where else we ended up and then going back to his house for snack and drinks! I remember him at my wedding...I had an outdoor reception and I can picture him sitting in the grass and around the pool and all of us "high-school" pals talking! I remember him as a good man, a Christian, and role model. I will never forget Todd and only wish I had been able to see him in recent years. I pray for God's loving arms to comfort his wife, mom, brothers, and the rest of his family and friends as they say goodbye to Todd, until they meet again in Heaven. May we all thank God for the time He gave us with Todd!

As a hospital delivery room nurse, and Sharon's first cousin, I assisted the doctor and Mom in the delivery of Todd. I was also the first person to babysit him when his parents left him for the first time. He has always been so special to his Iowa family, the oldest of 10 close cousins. Over the years it has been a joy to follow his growth. One of the highlights was when I saw how that guy could dance. Oh my goodness, where did he learn that? He has been so accomplished in his work, black belt, etc. What a special, caring ,intelligent, nice and honest man that we will all miss so much. Unbelievable to say good bye. God has welcomed him with open arms, I can tell you that.

I miss Todd's sense of humor, his laugh, and his caring spirit. Debbie, you won't have to share your dancing partner any more, though I know you would give up a million dances if it would make life different. I'm so sad for Todd and for you.
Love, Louise

Todd will be missed by many but I know he is at peace and spending time with his father right now. I'll always remember playing at the park across from Grandma Korell's with him and getting to know him better as he grew into a great man. I have such memories of his sense of humor and funny stories. My heart goes out to Debby and the entire family. You will be missed but I know you are smiling down at all of us, cuz.
