Renae,
Julie has just informed me of your loss. I saw Todd about a year ago and he told me that he was going to the pain management clinic at the U (I work in that building). We are so sorry about your loss. What can we do to help?

Renae,
I just recently (today) learned about this tragedy and I am very sad for you and your children. Todd was a great guy and I admired and respected him greatly. I wish the best for you and your children. I'm sorry we have lost touch over the years, but my thoughts and prayers are with you. I certainly wish there was something I could do to help you. I think often of the times that I lived in North Ogden and knew both you and Todd. Those were good days. Please take care of yourself, and know that I am thinking of you and wishing you well.
Best wishes,

Renae,
I just found out today about Todd's passing. I really enjoyed working with him at Autoliv through the years, and also growing up with him in Provo. He is a great man and he ALWAYS had a great attitude and an infectious sense of humor. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Robertson Family,
I went to High School with Todd and always loved being around him. He truely was the life of the party. I always wanted to hang out with Todd and all his buddies. If you were with them, you were having fun. The gospel brings us the truth that families will be together forever. May Christ bless your family at this most difficult time.

Todd's wife and family,
I am very sorry to learn from Scott Mabey of Todd's passing away. I have not seen Todd since we served together in the Baton Rouge Louisiana mission field. Todd was a great guy who had a great sense of humor. That is what I remember the most about him. I am greatly saddened to learn of his death. I am sorry I cannot come to his viewing or funeral and demonstrate my respect and meet each of you. We are in Las Vegas for the BYU bowl game and will not be home until Christmas. I wish and pray for you and your family during this difficult time. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family.

Renae, I was so shocked and saddened to read about Todd. I know words are not enough at this time, but, know that I am thinking about you and praying for you and your kids. It was Christmas time when I lost my dad and it has always been a time of reflection for me. I hope in time that will be the case for you and your children. If there is anything I can do let me know. Sending all my love,
Sherryn

If I had to describe Todd in one word it would have to be "kind". Todd was always the life of the party. He was a good athlete. He was a good friend. He was a hard worker. And, he loved the Lord. But "kind" seems to sum up Todd for me. I have known Todd since kindergarden and feel as though I have lost a brother. I spoke with him a week ago and as usual we went through how our families were doing. He was always so proud of his wife and children and this time was no exception. He had specifics about everybody. We were attempting to attend the Mormon Tabernacle Choirs Christmas Program and seeing (to no avail) if our families could hook up. We were lamenting the fact that the activities of life in general kept us apart and made a commitment to do better. I will miss him greatly. My condolences to Rene and the children; his brothers, sisters and parents. He will be missed.
