Todd Robert Jacobsen

I am so sorry to hear of Todd´s passing......while it has been many years since our paths have crossed, he was one of the good guys.......i know he will be missed!

Todd and I met while working at Music Plus in 1981 and immediately hit it off. So much so that the next year, we rented an apartment together and became roommates. We went to concerts together, got each other through breakups with girlfriends and had so many laughs.

At the time, Todd was going to school to be an accountant, but he hated it. What he really wanted to do was draw, but didn't think it was a stable career. I told him it's a long life and he should go for what would make him happy. So he stopped studying to be an accountant and began to plan his career as an artist. That took a lot of courage, but he was always glad he took that path.

Todd, I wish I'd known you were sick. I would have loved to have had at least one more conversation and a laugh or two. I'll see you on the other side, buddy. I love you.

Todd Jacobsen was a wonderful friend and mentor. I first got to know him on "The Prince of Egypt" animated feature where Todd was an awesome teacher and generous coworker. He always had time to talk and ask for guidance on a scene. Years later, I always enjoyed hearing about his daughter, Leila. He posted fantastic photos of her progress in school and how well she has done throughout her school career. You could tell that Leila was his pride and joy and what he lived for! What a dedicated father and a great friend and artist!!!! He will be missed by all that knew him.

I will always remember how much you love your daughter. Though I never met her, I felt i knew her and saw her grow up from all of your posts. That´s the mark of a good and proud father. That´s the mark of an outstanding humanbeing. Well done, Todd. You have earned your wings. Rest in God´s eternal peace.

As a fellow animator I met Todd briefly during a project at Warner Bros. He was so talented, yet humble, always learning and contributing. He had that Zen "Beginners Mind", learning new skills but also happy to pass on what he had learned to other younger artists, a rare thing! I only worked with Todd on one project but I'll remember him as a man of faith, talent and integrity, and his greatest love was his daughter, and I just want her to know that in the brief time I worked with her Dad, he thought of nothing but her, was trying to lay a strong foundation of care for her, and wanted nothing but the best for her. RIP Mr. Jacobsen.

Todd was the sweetest, kindest friend who was always there cheering me and my daughters on, and you were the best, most proud father. Im so so sad, you will be so missed. I will see you again one day my friend.

This is the only time that I have met Todd. We went down to Idaho for Jessica's graduation. He welcomed me and Emily into their family with loving arms. Thank you for being so kind to us. You will truly be missed.

Dear sweet Todd. The kindest man. The best father. He was positive and encouraging and so much more. Thankful he is walking those streets of gold in Heaven after his struggle. So much love to Leila and Lori and his family at this hard time. He will be incredibly missed.

Todd was loved by many and will be missed by many. Patricia(Pat)Jacobsen Martin

Todd was an amazing soul whose energy, and smiling face is present in my heart and mind. I had the pleasure of sharing some amazing, funny, and heartfelt memories with him in the USC Trojan Marching Band Drum line. We were able to create everlasting memories years later after both of us changed careers - especially sharing our favorite food (sushi!) and drink with my wife, Linda, and Todd on Friday evenings after work. We recently spent the afternoon with him and had dinner with Lori and Leila. We´re grateful for the quality time and laughter we shared. Todd followed his passion and let his talent flow.
Rest in peace, Brother.

Todd was a dear friend for over 30 years. We shared a love for great music, among other things in the arts. We attended so many shows together. Being with him enhanced the experience ten fold. Mostly, l will cherish his unrelenting loyalty as a dear friend. His loss is devastating, but the blessing of his friendship far outweighs my deep sadness. I am eternally grateful for his presence in my life. Rest in Peace, my dear friend

Todd was a dear friend and we will be heartbroken over his passing for a long time to come. Rest in Peace, buddy, you will be in our hearts forever.
