Todd Blakely Roth
October 5, 1961 – August 21, 2025

Todd Blakely Roth, 63, of Fairbury, Nebraska, passed away peacefully on August 21, 2025, at Jefferson Community Health & Life in Fairbury, NE.

Born on October 5, 1961 in Friend, NE., Todd was a lifelong resident of Fairbury and a proud graduate of Fairbury High School, Class of 1980. He spent his career in the construction industry, where his dedication and craftsmanship left a lasting mark on the community.

Todd was a passionate Nebraska Football fan who never missed a game. His loyalty to the Huskers was matched only by his devotion to family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, James and Twila Roth. He is survived by his sister, Trudy Fritz and her husband Moyle; nephews Trey Fritz and his wife Malinda, and Kohlman Fritz; along with many extended family members and friends who will miss him.

Visitation will be held on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. at Gerdes-Meyer Funeral Home, followed by a graveside service at Fairbury Cemetery.

In honor of Todd's lifelong compassion for animals, memorial gifts may be sent to the Beatrice Humane Society.
