(Middleport) Todd Michael Arlington, suddenly passed away Sunday December 17, 2023, at his home. Todd was born in Kenitra, Morocco on May 5, 1971, on the US Naval Base where his dad was stationed. He was the loving son of Thomas and Deborah Arlington of Akron.

Todd was a 1989 graduate of Royalton Hartland School and went to Niagara Community College for music, also to Orleans Niagara BOCES for welding. He worked for a number of years at Barnes Metal Finishing in Medina, Also Whiting Door Mfg. and Strippit Inc. in Akron. Most recently, he mowed and maintained the local church cemeteries for Holy Trinity Catholic Church, a job which he enjoyed and was proud to do.

Todd grew up Lutheran, and although he didn’t attend church in recent years, he believed in God and watched religious programs regularly. His greatest loves were music and fishing, and his country home with the woods to work and hunt in. He was always helpful to those in need, whether it was to plow a driveway or just be a friend. He also had become quite a cook, teaching his parents his tricks for air frying or whatever. He loved his three nephews, Hayden, Ian and Will; and niece Ada, having nicknames for each of them. Todd had many special friends that meant so much to him.

He is survived by his parents Thomas and Deborah; brother Chad (Shannon) Arlington; sister Lisa (Matt) Zern as well as several aunts and uncles.

The family will receive friends at the St. Michael’s Lutheran Church, 6379 Wolcottsville Rd., Akron NY 14001 on Friday December 29th 11:00am-1:00pm where his Memorial Service will follow at 1:00pm. Private burial will be in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. Memorials may be made to the American Heart Association or to the American Cancer Society. Arrangements were entrusted to the Bates, Wallace and Heath Funeral Home Middleport.
