Todd Allen Shoulders, 54, of Gallatin, Tennessee, passed away on September 26, 2025. He was born June 24, 1971 to Linda and Paul Shoulders.
At the age of 12, Todd was saved at Cedar Grove Missionary Baptist Church. He graduated from Gallatin High School and ITT Technical Institute. He later built a career as a proud business owner, where he was admired for his dedication and hard work.
Known for his remarkable way with words and unique sense of humor, Todd had a gift for storytelling that could light up any room. He was also an exceptional cook, best known for his perfectly smoked meats and the kind of hearty meals that brought family and friends together. Some of his happiest moments were spent hunting alongside his brother, his closest friends, and his daughter, creating memories that will always be cherished.
Todd is survived by his daughter, Lindy Shoulders; wife, Mary Shoulders; parents, Linda and
Paul Shoulders; brothers, Phillip Shoulders and Greg (Stephanie) Shoulders; and his nephews
Campbell and Eli Shoulders, all of Gallatin; as well as Mason Shoulders of Fairbanks, Alaska, and Denali Shoulders of Rochester, New York. He also leaves behind many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Todd lived his life “a quarter mile at a time”, all while treasuring the moments that mattered most. Todd left this world peacefully, doing what he absolutely loved, in a place that he loved; up in the Colorado mountains hunting with his brother.
In keeping with his wishes, there will be no service or memorial. His family invites those who knew Todd to honor his memory in their own way.
