Todd was a truly good man whose kindness, generosity, and love touched everyone who knew him.

Todd's happy place was the islands and the beach. He loved the sound of the waves, the warmth of the sun, and the peaceful feeling of being near the ocean. Some of our most precious memories were made together on the islands, relaxing by the water and enjoying life. And of course, Todd never passed up the opportunity to enjoy a swim-up pool bar, where his smile seemed to shine even brighter.

Todd was also a devoted father who loved his son and daughter beyond measure. They were a source of immense pride and joy in his life, and his love for them was unwavering. He treasured the time he spent with them and celebrated their accomplishments, always wanting the very best for them.

Above all else, Todd was a devoted husband who loved deeply and wholeheartedly. Todd will be deeply missed by his family and friends, forever loved, and always remembered.
