Todd Telford Obituary

Todd Taylor Telford

June 21, 1962 - Aug. 26, 2024

Our beloved father/brother/uncle/cousin/friend Todd Taylor Telford departed this life on August 26, 2024. Todd was born into a family with three sisters and one brother who doted on their blonde, curly headed little boy who was the joy of the family.

Todd was born on June 21, 1962, in Twin Falls, Idaho, to Virginia (Taylor) Telford and Dr. Virgil Telford. He was the youngest of five children.

Todd graduated from Twin Falls High School in 1980. He went to college at Idaho State University and studied Information Systems. He left the university when he had an opportunity to start his first company, Magic Valley Business Systems, in Twin Falls selling and repairing copiers and printers.

Prior to starting his first company, Todd lived in the eastern part of the U.S. where he volunteered for Campus Crusades for Christ, which was the beginning of his spiritual life.

He met his future wife Angie on a blind date, marrying in 1996 and settling down in Hailey, where he started his IT services business Telford Consulting. They were blessed with two children: Evan William and Taylor Jane.

Todd's hobbies included golf, fishing, playing games, going to Redfish Lake with family, and being outside in nature. He was a gifted musician and loved singing and playing his multiple guitars with his children and always had a dog by his side.

Todd is survived by his children: Evan and Taylor; sisters: Debra (Greg) McDonald, Shari (Joel) Reinemann, Bridgette (Barry) Walters; and brother, Mark (Susan) Savage; and 11 nieces and nephews; and 16 great-nieces and nephews.

Donations in Todd's name may be sent to Mountain Humane.

Please join family and friends as we remember Todd at an Open House on Saturday, October 5, 2024 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.

When I was a child we lived in the same neighborhood as the Telfords. Todd's sister Shari and I were friends and classmates. I remember Todd as the cute blonde haired baby brother running around the house. So sorry for your loss. Sending prayers for the family.
