Only played ball with him for one season, but his passion for the game and encouragement when I was on the mound was like no one I’d ever played with. You will be missed I am sure, thoughts and prayers to your family and your little girl.

Michelle, Izzabella, Barb and family, I’m so very sorry for your loss. Todd was a great guy he would do anything for anyone. I got the pleasure of knowing him on a more deeper level off the field when he and Michelle got together. They were so in love it was contagious. Todd loved his two girls so much as well as his family and friends. Todd made me a part of his family officially the day he asked me to be Izzabellas Godmother and I am so grateful to have that beautiful memory of him. May you rest in peace Todd watching and protecting all of the people you loved from above.
Barb, Tammy, Mariah and family
