Eddy Michael Todd

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Eddy Michael Todd. Eddy was born on June 8, 1968, in Green Bay, Wisconsin, to Jackie and Marie Todd. His life was one of joy, dedication, and love for his family and community. He was called home to his eternal home on March 9, 2025. Eddy was preceded in death by his father, Jackie Todd, and nephew, Bradley Carr. Eddy is survived by his loving mother, Marie Todd, his cherished daughter Samantha (Patrick) Porto, and his beloved son Seth Todd. Eddy was eagerly anticipating the arrival of his grandson, Gianni, due on April 4, 2025, and the joy of welcoming this new life into the world. Eddy graduated from Cape Central High School in 1988, where he made lifelong friendships that he cherished deeply. These bonds carried him through the years and were a testament to his warm and engaging personality. His siblings, Abby (Joe) Popp, Jay (Gina) Todd, and Joy (Scott) Burnette, remember him as a devoted brother who added excitement to everyday life, kept them on their toes, and brought laughter and warmth into their lives. Eddy's nieces and nephews-Jackie McAllister, Jessie Vinyard, Rikki McCarthy, Camille Todd, Alexis Johnson, William Popp, Nicholas Todd, and Michael Todd-along with many great nieces and nephews, will forever cherish the memories of their Uncle Eddy. For nearly 20 years, Eddy took immense pride in his work with the Department of Public Safety (DPS) at Southeast Missouri State University. His dedication to keeping the River Campus safe was unwavering, and he found joy in watching the students create and perform throughout the night hours while he diligently kept their halls safe. Eddy was known for his extraordinary athletic abilities and unique hobbies. He excelled in ice skating, scuba diving, skateboarding, soccer, football, softball and even ping pong. His passion for sports was matched by his deep love for dogs and animals. Eddy's compassionate nature and joyful heart endeared him to all who knew him, and his laugh was a source of comfort and happiness. Though Eddy's time with us has come to an end, his spirit will live on in the hearts of those he touched. His family, friends, and colleagues will continue to celebrate his life, remembering the childlike wonder he carried with him and the joy he spread wherever he went.
