Todd Garrity Obituary

Todd M. Garrity, 39, of Glastonbury, left this life after a long and courageous battle with colon cancer, surrounded by his loved ones on February 23, 2019. Todd was a loving husband and true partner to Beth (Murray) since 2010. Beth and Todd welcomed their son, Charlie in 2013. Dedication to family defined how Todd lived. Although Todd graduated with an associates degree in nursing from Capital Community College in 2013, Charlie had the fortune of his dad's dedication as a stay-at-home dad for his first five years of life. During this time, Todd was able to share the important things in life with Charlie: patience, love, tolerance, nature, and the ability to forgive. In fact, these are the lessons that he continued to share with many far and near his whole life even after his diagnosis in 2011 until the very end.In addition to his wife and son, Todd leaves behind his mother Donna (Roberts) Fielding and stepfather Bernard "Fuzzy" of Southington; father Michael Garrity of Bristol; paternal grandmother Lois (Helm) Garrity of Southington; brother, Mason Garrity and his wife, Alexandra (Kunsman), of Flemington, New Jersey; sister, Amber (Garrity) Cardalico and husband Keith, who was also Todd's best friend, of Wolcott; brother, Josh Fielding and partner, Sheila Farrell, of Torrington; father and mother in law James and Janet (Chamberlain) Murray of South Windsor; and sister-in-law Jennifer Murray of Northampton, MA. Todd's humor, warmth, and devotion will be missed by his nieces and nephews: Sammantha and Liam, Molly and Colin, Logan and James, and Dashiell; as well as, many cousins, aunts, and uncles. Beth and the entire family send their deepest thanks to Dr. Hong, the entire staff at the Helen and Harry Cancer Center, and the staff on CB2 at Hartford Hospital for the compassionate care and unwavering support provided to Todd and his loved ones.Todd's family will receive friends on Wednesday, February 27th (TODAY) from 4-7 p.m. at Samsel & Carmon Funeral home, 419 Buckland Rd., South Windsor. A celebration of life will be held Thursday morning at 11 a.m. at the funeral home with a burial to follow at Holy Cross Cemetery. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Todd's life. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the American Cancer Society.Please visit www.carmonfuneralhome.com for online condolences.

He will always be remembered by the faculty and staff for his caring and positive attitude and his bright smile. May all your beautiful memories bring you much peace and comfort in the days ahead.

I got to know Todd during the Summer of 2002 while working for his uncle Steve. Todd and his family were a lot of fun and hard working. To this day it is the best time I ever had on the job. Many laughs. Todd was a big part of the company and was knowledgable on many topics. Although I can't be there in person to pay my respects I will be thinking of Todd and the family with a smile in my heart- for Todd is now with "the boss", uncle Steve. (Dream Scapes!)

Dear Beth and Charlie,

I am so saddened to hear of your loss of Todd and send my sympathy, love and prayers to you both and to family.

I did not know Todd well but the times we met, we always talked of Charlie, of course. He was a sweet man with an endearing smile.
There are no words to express to you at this most difficult time but please know you are in my heart and thoughts constantly.

With love,
