We think about Todd often, especially my son Kyle who was coached by Todd. He asks alot of questions and has his "Coach Todd" sticker on his helmet. My husband Robin coached with Todd and although he doesn't open up about him, I know he misses him and especially when he is in the hockey rinks. This fall is going to be really hard when hockey starts without Todd. You will never be forgotten Todd. The James Family - Robin, Michelle, Justen, Kyle & Dylan.

We had the pleasure of knowing Todd during our school years and it was very heartbreaking to hear this news. We both have fond memories of what a great person he was. He was always very kind, considerate,and friendly to us both. Most everyone in school knew who Todd was. He was that good looking, athletic, well put together guy in the hockey coat. We also remember his fun impersonation of Bruce Springsteen's dancing in the "Dancing in the Dark" video. We remember that he wasn't just Todd...he was Todd Karman....
Our sincerest condolences to Mr. and Mrs. Karman and Gary as well as to his wife and children and all of his family and friends who loved him.

Dear Karman Family,
We are so deeply saddened to here someone so young and so full of life has been taken from us way too soon in life. Kim Ben and Josh please accept our deepest condolences on you loss. Todd I will never forget how kind you were to John during the two years you coached him and how much he looked up to you as a mentor, he thought the world of you. You told me many times how much you loved seeing John's big smile one the ice, well I think that is a testament to you and how great you were with all the kids. You will be missed Todd an I one day hope to meet you again in that big arena in the sky.
Love from the Legacy's

Dear Kim, Ben & Josh,
We've only met a few times at hockey arenas, but feel that we've known you for as long as Becky & Mark have been friends with you.
Being as we are in Edmonton and them in Calgary....we were sooooo pleased they found such a great Hockey family to have a close relationship with.....from camping to parties and hockey.
Jake & Dean will ALWAYS remember COACH TODD for his love of the game and all they learned from him.
I know Coach Todd will be watching over his family and his team.
Sincerely,
Dan & Brenda MacDonald

We we so saddened when we learned of Todd's death. We only knew Todd for a short time but we feel blessed to have had that time. He was a wonderful, kind and passionate man who loved his family dearly. He was so courageous the past two years with his fight with cancer. He is now in Peace. May you also find Peace in knowing that and may your memories of him bring you comfort.

The one thing you hear rarely from me is "My Prayers are with you" They are going out to the Karman family. I knew you Todd, but not as well as most. That never stopped you from always asking "How are you doing" versus "Haven't seen you in forever" Words that stuck with me for the last 27 years. You were no ARE a Great person and I know you are loved and missed. Take care Reg, hope I see ya on the other side.

Todd, it has been a pleasure coaching with you the last 4 years. I can’t imagine the number of hours we have spent talking about hockey. It didn’t matter what season it was or where we were, hockey always became the main subject and we could talk for hours. We would spend hours working in the bush at Koocanusa, trying to get the satellite positioned just right so that we could watch a NHL playoff game. In the short period of time I have known you, your family has become one of our closest friends and your lose will be felt deeply, but your spirit will remain with us forever.

Dear Kim, Ben and Josh.
We were so saddened to hear of your loss. Todd made our hockey experience so positive and we felt very lucky Justin was able to learn the game from him for 2 yrs! He was energetic and encouraging everytime he stepped on the ice and you could see the kids just loved him. Even after he no longer coached Justin, Todd always took time to talk to us when he saw us on the soccer field, or in the neighboorhood, he was just that kind of person! 'Coach Todd' was one special guy, and we are grateful we had the chance to know him. Our heart goes out to you Kim, Ben and Josh.

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
My thoughts are with you Kim and your family

We were fortunate enough to have met Todd, Kim, Ben and Josh when our son Jacob first started hockey. We were lucky to have him as a coach that year and it was a tremendous experience. Todd's love of the game and his patience with the kids was evident everytime he stepped out on the ice. He had a great heart and he will be truly missed. We wish to offer our deepest sympathy to Kim and the boys for their loss. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. The Rietzes (Lindsay, Danette, Zachary and Jacob)
