September 29, 1962 – April 3, 2023
Todd died peacefully at the South Health Campus on Monday, April 3, 2023 at the age of 60 years. Todd fought a brave battle with Multiple Myeloma for 12.5 years, and also fought with COPD and heart issues, all while confronting the cancer.
Todd will be lovingly remembered by his partner of 16 years, Len Hofer of Calgary, AB; and his mother, Mona Wood of Kamloops, BC. Todd was predeceased by his father, Glen; his brother Mike; and his sister Vonnie. Todd was loved by everyone who he met, and he was such a positive person right up until the end.
Todd moved to Calgary from Kamloops in the mid 1980’s. He started working in the mailroom at Husky Energy and quickly moved up to be a Financial Specialist within the company. In 2008, Todd and Len bought the Village Bistro Restaurant in the Golden Age Club, serving seniors in the East Village of downtown Calgary.
Despite the ravages of Multiple Myeloma, Todd remained a beautiful man, both inside and out. His grace, courage and strength were remarkable.
We would like to thank the staff of the Multiple Myeloma Research Centre at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre for everything they did for Todd.
A Celebration of Todd’s life will be Wednesday June 21 at 2:00 pm in the Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour Street.
