Publish in a newspaper

Todd G. Manz, age 62, passed away on August 29, 2025, at his residence.

A memorial service will be held on Monday September 8, 2025, at 11:00am at Ritchay Funeral Home in Wisconsin Rapids. Visitation will be held from 9:00am until the time of service.

Todd was born on June 18, 1963, to Donald Manz and Barbara Chamberlain.

He had a deep love for the outdoors and could always be found outside, whether he was cutting wood, tending a fire, casting a line while fishing, or simply working with his hands. He found joy and purpose in being outside.

He will be remembered as an outgoing, thoughtful, and caring person who always was willing to give the shirt off his back.

Todd is survived by his sons, Dustin Manz and Gregory Manz; parents, Barbara Chamberlain and Don Manz; siblings, Teresa (Mark) Krohn, Scott Manz, and Jennifer (Jason) Lemke; step siblings, Marti Rued, David Chamberlain (Kelly Koshak), many nieces and nephews, ex-mother in law, Marilyn Gilson; and special friends, Doug and Nicki Christianson, Jim , Ben, and John Oleson.

He is preceded in death by his ex-spouse, Mary Manz; and ex-father in law, Donald Gilson.

Ritchay Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.
