Todd Arcomano, MD.

September 5, 1957 - December 7, 2020

Todd Richard Arcomano, MD, was born to Dr. Nicholas J. and Ella Cecilia Arcomano in Long Branch, NJ. He graduated Rutgers College Class of 1979, and Georgetown Medical School Class of 1983, where he also completed his surgical residency.

Todd joined General Surgery practices in Washington, DC; and Reno, Nevada, but spent the greatest part of his career with the Veteran's Administration in Grand Junction, Colorado; Boise, Idaho, and Denver, Colorado where he retired from the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center in 2020. His greatest joy came from teaching surgical residents and he was the recipient of numerous teaching awards.

Todd was a resident of Denver and Basalt, Colorado, where he moved full time upon retirement.

He was an avid hiker, skier, and student of nature. He loved the arts and mentored and housed many Aspen Music School students over the years. He also took great pleasure collecting art and was an avid gardener with many in the Roaring Fork Valley sharing in his bounty.

Todd is survived by his siblings and nieces and nephews, Jon (Carol), parents of Jon Nicholas (Kathleen) Kyle (Ashley) and grandniece Saylor Todd of Long Branch, New Jersey; Drew (Nadine), parents of Troy (Rachael), Lexi and Grant of Oakhurst, New Jersey; Keith (Marie), parents of Noelle and Nicholas of Middletown, New Jersey, and Tara (David Tash), parents of Nellie of Snowmass Village, Colorado, in addition to a large community of loving friends, students, and colleagues.

His enthusiasm, intelligence, kindness, and generosity were known to all the doctors, nurses, residents, healthcare professionals, and patients whose lives were changed for the better. "We learned so much from him about how to be a good human being." He was known by all who met him as thoughtful and generous with his heart and head.
