My hope is for the Lord to give his strength and love and comfort to the whole family. I had the pleasure and priviledge of having met Todd but I had known Brian because we had attended Taylor Park together. We shall remember the wonderful smile and hearty laughter by being thankful that God blessed us with his loving gift from heaven.

I met Todd when I hired in at Newell in 1998. Todd and I were both hunters and had something to talk about all the time. The thing I will miss most is that he always had a smile on his face.

I would like to express my condolence to the Gillette family! Todd and I go along way back to the early years of grade school. In fact Todd was a member of the Little Rascals from Taylor Park School. I thank God for blessing me with such a great friend! As a child Todd was very talented and creative. I remember for an art project(s) he used Popsicle Sticks and Toothpicks to build houses and ships. He was joy to play with on the playground, very physically strong (he could handle his business), and overall just an outstanding classmate. I have so many fond memories of him that I find myself both smiling and crying inside. Todd left us because God needed another Angel in Heaven. Someday Todd,we shall meet again and share more good times together. Until then May God Bless his love ones, provide comfort, and help them to feel at peace! "I love you Todd and your present here is missed."

Deanna, I am so sorry for your loss. Todd was such a gentle, sensitive spirit; always polite and pleasant and upbeat, a joy to be around. I enjoyed knowing him at Newell; joking with him; working around him. I will remember him with fond memories. I pray God's peace and comfort all over you. God Bless You! Marcene Meeks

I was fortunate enough to know Todd since we were young kids. And we really had a great time growing up. His families property was a giant playgorund for young boys. Riding mortorcycles, bikes, building forts it was just a great place. And Todd new every inch of it. Later growing up we had some of what most of his friends including myself were legendary parties!!! I wish I would have spent more time with Todd recently but we all get so busy, but I will always cherish our meetings. He would see me at the gas station or Restaurant and we would talk about the good ole days and catch up on recent happenings. Todd you were one of my best friends and I will truly miss you. My thoughts go out to your wonderful family as I know how important they all were to you,
God speed my good friend,

Todd was one of the best and kindest guys I've ever known. He has always been a great friend to me. I remember countless summer days when Todd, Rodger Fye and I would spend riding motorcycles, target shooting, or just hanging out at the "trailer".
