Todd could always be seen at the College World Series where he worked as a security guard and was often assigned to sections where the teams and coaches sat. He had returned to the University of Nebraska at Lincoln to pursue a Bachelor of Science Degree in Applied Science. In 2016, Todd was diagnosed with cancer and beat it. Afterward, he began running avidly and competed in many marathons. In 2021, he was diagnosed with a different type of cancer, but beat it once again. Todd was a gentle soul who loved nature. His favorite ways to enjoy the outdoors were fishing, and hunting turkey, doves and especially deer.
