Todd Widener Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Borek Jennings Funeral Homes - Howell Memorial Chapel on Feb. 28, 2026.
Todd Alan Widener, 54, passed away on January 28, 2026. He was born on December 11, 1971, in Lincoln Park, Michigan, to Terry and Nancy (Dietz) Widener.

Todd was a hardworking man who took pride in everything he did. Outside of work, he enjoyed sports-especially Michigan football and basketball-and rarely missed a game. He loved spending his free time outdoors, particularly on the boat, where he felt most at peace.

Todd had a great sense of humor and a natural ability to make people laugh. He was the kind of man who showed up when someone needed help, never hesitating to lend a hand. A loyal friend to many and deeply devoted to his family, Todd left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. His presence, laughter, and steady support will be greatly missed.

Todd is survived by his parents, Terry and Nancy (Dietz) Widener; his fiancée, Melissa Crowley; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members, friends, and customers whose lives he touched.

He was preceded in death by his sister, Lisa Widener Day; his grandparents, Roy and Marjorie Dietz; and his grandmother, Shirley Widener.

A celebration of life will be held this spring, where family and friends will gather to honor and remember Todd. Details will be shared at a later date.
