I was stunned to hear of Todd's accident. Only met him when he cut down a large tree for me, and was just so impressed by him. He told me how much he loved his work, and that he planned to retire in just 3 years. Todd, I hope you rest with the angels. You were loved by many and greatly respected by me, a customer.

My deepest sympathies to Todd's loved ones! Todd was my favorite real life "ninja", we had some fun adventurous times together when we were younger, during some tougher times in both our lives. Todd loved life for sure, always moving, always passionate. When we weren't out shooting some pool, during the quieter moments riding horse (China) (Cheyenne, Max, Reb or one of the other horses Sandy had taken in) we'd share our real free spirit. Todd is the kind of spirit that left you a better one after knowing him. I was blessed to have known him so briefly. Peace to you all. M.P.

Todd you will be missed my friend.
Thanks for the fishing trip memories and fun times collecting old fishing reels and lures.
I never forgot first time you invited me over to talk fishing many years ago, your room had 1000s of reels in the ceiling. Good times. Rest is peace buddy.
Prayers for all the family.

Todd will always have my heart. He taught me to be independent, strong, Appreciate the simple things in life, how to have patience, even though he didn’t ! Never to give up on something I believe in. I will always hear his voice in my head telling me how to do something or how to back up a trailer ! Anyone who knows him well, will know exactly what I mean!!! He was loved by many and I’ll cherish all my wonderful memories with him. He always treated others how they treated him. He helped as many people out as he could. Todd’s happiest place was fishing , horseback riding , & Riding our motorcycles. Todd & I could be together 24 7 and still miss each other. He called me his wife to many as I was proud to be his girl. I’ll sure miss my best friend & all the crazy fun times !

Although I did not know Todd, I'd like to offer my condolences to Todd's family, particularly Sandra and Jeanne Patneaude who were my childhood friends.
