I worked with Todd in the old Consulting Division of Arthur Andersen / Andersen Consulting / Accenture in the Milwaukee office. Todd was senior to me and was, like some others there, a kind of Big Brother to me. I always looked up to him and showed him much respect and deference as a senior professional to me, and someone to look up to and emulate.
We also saw each other a few times when I was assigned up at the old Tombstone Pizza account way up in Northern Wisconsin for a couple of years, and Todd was working somewhat nearby at Weathershield Windows that made windows for homes. We all seemed to get together for dinner and such at times up there in Northern Wisconsin.
Todd was part of why that time in my life and career was so special and will always be that to me; because he was such a high caliber person and professional that he helped set me onward for my own life and career.
Bonnie and I moved way out of state some years ago to Nevada and I had not heard of Todd's passing until Monday September 28th, when I happened to be talking to a colleague about some other things.
Needless to say, Bonnie and I were shocked and saddened, and Linda and the rest of Todd's family are in our thoughts and prayers.

We are very sad to hear of Todd's passing. Our deepest sympathy to you, your extended families and the incredible numbers of friends who love you both and share you pain. Rarely does someone like Todd, touch our lives and has such a profound impact. It's inconceivable that so many years have passed since the Evans Scholars house. The friendships made there will surpass all time. Please know that we hold you all deeply in hearts.

Shocked, stunned and saddened by the news of Todd's sudden passing. He always shared a warm smile, a kind word (&eyes) and the willingness to help be a thoughtful partner. I had the distinct pleasure of working with Todd at Patina...no words to express my heartfelt hope for peace and memories to fill the tremendous loss left with Todd's passing.

I am so deeply saddened by Todd's passing but will always cherish the experiences we shared in Green Bay. We became teammates and good buddies back in junior high. Todd was a natural leader who excelled at whatever he chose to do and inspired those around him to raise their game. I didn't realize at that time how his friendship and example would influence my approach to life's challenges...prepare, accept, then conquer. Thank you Todd. Rest in peace my friend.

I am shocked to hear that Todd has passed at such a young age. He was a colleague in the consulting practice at Arthur Andersen & Co, now Accenture, and always a class act. He was a man of grace and charity to all, characteristics which he held over the decades. His smile was sincere and full of happiness no matter what. I have fond memories of his well-costumed imitations of Carnac the Magnificent back in the day.
My prayers and love are the with the family.
God Bless,

Our deepest sympathies go out to Linda and the MacKay family. Todd was a special man with a great heart and a smile that could light up a room. Todd and I started working together in the beautiful North woods at Weathershield Windows In Medford and continued to cross paths our entire careers. He will be so missed but will leave behind so many great memories!
God’s peace and blessings to you all,

Todd was a passionate, benevolent, and inspiring leader. He was a person that led by example. The world needs more people like Todd. I will miss knowing that he is among us in this world, but he leaves behind a legacy of thousands of people whose lives were positively impacted by his contributions to humanity.

I am so sorry to hear of Todd's passing. It seems like just yesterday we were classmates and teammates at West High School in Green Bay. Whether it was in the classroom or on the athletic field, Todd was always a cut above. Todd's warm and welcoming personality will be greatly missed by all who had an opportunity to know him. Lynn and I share our deepest condolences.

I am saddened and stunned at the loss of Todd and my prayers are with you during this incredibly difficult time. I am grateful to have called Todd my friend for almost 50 years, beginning in junior high in Green Bay.

One of the best Evans Scholars ever. I was in the same suite with him as a freshmen for a semester. Will never forget how you made freshmen feel part of the house. I am so glad I got to spend two years with you. Peace be with you and your family.

So sorry to hear about Todd’s passing. Haven’t seen him in many years. We were Badgers together. I share with Todd having played football on Lambeau Field (for Green Bay Southwest) and lifelong Packers fan and shareholder. He left us too early. I hope you have peace in his broad legacy of so many good things.

Was at the Evans House with Todd in the 70s. Loved the guy. He was a leader and a friend to all. Loved having him on our teams for sports because he was such an athlete and competitor. Wasn't a guy in the house who didn't love him. See that picture of him with the big smile and that's how I'll always remember him. Another reminder to enjoy each day. Big personality means bigger loss to his family. Prayers to you guys for your huge loss.

Linda,
I am so sad to hear that Todd has passed. It has been a long time since the Scholar House and Tri- Delta house but seeing Mac's name brought back many pleasant memories of both you and Todd. He was an outstanding individual who always brought out the best in people.
I can still picture his smile and hear his laugh.
The way he approached life taught me to be a better person.
May God bless you and your family.

Todd was a great guy. I started as an Evans Scholar in 1979, as a Freshman at a big school, you are trying to figures things out, get off to a good start and not get lost in all the distractions Madison has to offer. Todd was there for us, ready to lend a helping hand and as a mentor. Sorry to hear the news. Steve Bechwar - Evans Scholar - Class of 1983

I was very sad to hear of Todd's passing. One of the true gentlemen I've had the pleasure of knowing in my life. I'll never forget what a mutual friend of ours said "If someone ever told me they didn't like Todd MacKay, I'd instantly think I didn't like them." Rest in Peace Todd.

This note is for you..This journey through life would not have been the same without you. I have never met anybody in my life that always put others first – it was never about you. You will be missed but not forgotten (because I am around to tell all those stories – and you can’t refute any of them).
Luv ya and see you soon,
