It's been almost a month since Todd passed. I still think about him almost everyday. The coffee shop is quiet and empty in the morning without him. Often times we would share a cup of coffee at one of the tables before it got busy. My Monday nights were usually spent on the phone with him and if I missed, he would let me know it. But I truly did enjoy my talks with Todd. Even after I had a rough day he would give me simple consul by saying it'll be alright. I miss Todd. I consider him to be one of my closest of friends. Always faithful... even when he was mad at me. I think my favorite memory with Todd would be a recent one. He had his birthday in December and I called him to say lets go get lunch, but as you could imagine, he was out in town somewhere. Eventually we were able to go get lunch the following Monday. It was probably my favorite time with him. We didn't say much. We just ate our food, looked around, and took off. There's many other memories I have of Todd and I'll cherish them forever. He changed me forever. I love you man. I'll see you again.

My Son David Herne and Todd worked together at the Water management Enclave with the ARC Nature coast. Todd would call every night to talk with David on the phone. Todd was a sweet man with a great heart. David would visit with Todd at his place and sometimes at the coffee shop too, to hang out and talk. I miss his calls and seeing him around town on his bike. We are truly saddened and miss him very much. Our condolences to his family and friends and everyone that did not have the pleasure of knowing a true kind soul.
What a wonderful, sweet man. Always friendly. I was trying to think of one word to describe Todd and innocent is what came to my mind. Such a loss to his family and friends. I am so sorry.
The very first time I met Todd I was at the then Coffee Barn and Bakery, sitting at the bar area, quietly sipping my choice of drink. I clearly remember when he walked through the door, holding his helmet under arm and pulling up a stool to sit right next to me (a little closer than I was anticipating!). He looked over and gave me the biggest, goofiest grin I've ever seen and didn't hesitate to make conversation. I was moved (and maybe a little taken back) by his friendliness. As I began to recognize him all over town, making conversation and visiting all of his favorite places, I realized something: he loves people and genuinely cares about their well being. When he found out I worked at Publix, he would make the effort to come see me at work. And even though it was in the dead of summer, he didn't think twice about stopping in to merely see how I was doing because he "hasn't seen me at Mountaineer Coffee lately." This town will not be the same without his loving heart. I can only hope to honor his memory by following his example and loving people unconditionally. Rest in peace my friend. :heart:
I first met Todd at work, lending his talents to the Medicine Wheel Cafe while I was hired in the front market. He'd ride his bike to every shift wearing his trademark smile, and always took the time to ask how I was doing. Todd was full of spark, never afraid to speak his mind, and that contagious laugh of his will be missed. I'll never forget our times on floor duty together, or our little arguments when I needed to borrow his cleaning supplies. I'll keep it shiny for you, Todd. Rest easy.
The first time I met Todd was about 12 years ago thru special olympics. My daughter Jennifer was an automatic friend with him. Very outgoing and caring young man. He got to know my son and oldest grandson thru my daughter and special olympics. I never forget his smile and sunny disposition. Bowl with the Angels Todd you will be missed. Coach Dee and family
Not sure of the exact number, but I think I've been friends with Todd for 10 or more years. I work at the Water Management District and met Todd years ago when he came by every evening to clean offices. I got to know him because my section works later than others and was always still here when he came around to clean. We chatted every day and it quickly became ritual for me and my section colleagues to chat with Todd the last few minutes before leaving every day. Unfortunately after a few years they switched Todd to working other buildings which really upset him. He made do since his group used to get here an hour early and were given a little free-time before starting work which Todd always used to come by and see us. Todd brought a smile to our faces every day around 5:00 when he would come and tap on our window for one of us to let him in to say hello. If he ever missed me because I was out in the field when he came by, he left me a post-it note on my desk letting me know, and eventually started using scratch paper by my phone. I saved most of the notes over years as you can see in the photo. In 2014 the contract ended and Todd's group was moving on. Todd was devastated to say the least. I took that picture of us on his last (rainy) day here at the District. We remained friends ever since and Todd called me every Monday and Thursday mornings religiously while getting ready or on my way to work. First it was 7:45 AM for a while, then 6:30, then 6:15, then 6:00. Once Todd had his routine time set, it was very important I was available at that time to answer or get scolded later :) I also ran into him around town at the Mountaineer Coffee Shop or around Brooksville on his bike. I glance at my phone sitting by the door in the morning now and think of Todd. Rest in peace my friend.
