Todd Raymond Dawid
Todd Raymond Dawid, 56, of Milford, beloved husband of Alyssa Dawid, passed away on September 20, 2025. Born on June 6, 1969 in Bridgeport, CT, he was the son of Dennis and Karen Dawid.
Raised in West Haven, Todd graduated from West Haven High School in 1987, and later earned his degree from Central Connecticut State University in 1993. It was there, at Central, where he met the love of his life - his college sweetheart - and the woman who would stand by his side for the next 31 years of marriage. Together, they built a life rooted in simple joys, fierce devotion, and a whole lot of laughter.
For over 25 years, Todd was a cornerstone at Utopia Home Care, not just as an employee, but as a brother, mentor, and friend. His "work family" was truly just that - family. He brought people together. If you knew Todd, you knew you could count on him.
Todd was a man who loved deeply and showed it in the way that really mattered. He coached his daughters' softball teams, found joy in watching his son's high school football games and never missed a single game- not one. He didn't just show up; he remembered everything. Every pitch, every hit, every touchdown, every moment. He was the kind of dad who kept score, and somehow knew every stat - not just from the game that day, but from previous seasons too. Sports weren't just a hobby for Todd, they were a way of connecting. Whether it was cheering for the Mets, catching March Madness at UCONN, watching football, or showing up for Xtreme Chaos, Todd made memories out of every moment.
At home, Todd was the heartbeat of the family. He found peace in freshly mowed green grass and joy in a spotless car. He loved cooking, but especially eating, whether it was his beloved chicken piccata, wings from Archie Moore's, or sipping a Fuzzy Baby Duck with a grin that said, "Yeah, buddy."
If you were looking for Todd in the summer, you'd find him on the water; the Long Island Sound was his second home. Off the coast of Charles Island, he fished, boated, and passed on the love of the water to his children, just like his father did for him. Todd loved the time he spent on the water with his son teaching him to boat and fish. Todd understood the tides and the wind like some men understand books, and he respected the ocean the way he respected life: fully.
Todd's home was never empty - not with the happy chaos of four beloved dogs: Paco, Mojito, Daisy, and Lulu. They were his shadows, his companions, and just more proof that his heart was big enough for everyone.
He was a simple man in the best ways: never flashy, never loud, but always there. Steady. Loyal. Present. Todd leaves behind a world that's better because he was in it, and in hearts that will never stop missing him.
In addition to his wife, Alyssa, Todd is survived by his mother, Karen Dawid; his children, Alexa Dawid, Jack Dawid, and Mya Dawid; and his brother, Leigh Dawid. Todd is predeceased by his father, Dennis Dawid.
