    My first trail with Todd was a fantastic experience. He led The VX Run back in 2004 to Hotel Rock. He was so sharing with his knowledge and skills. He made you feel as though you were everything he was. That's what I admired about Todd.

    Todd is one of those people you meet in life who is truly special. He was giving of himself and never wanted anything in return. I can't say this about a lot of people in life, but I don't hesitate to say this about Todd. I'm a better person for knowing a man like Todd.

    Thanks Todd and Peace be with you.

    Wow, I am in shock. This is terrible news to see first thing as you log on.


    I am saddened and my best wishes to Linda and his family.

    Thanks for all the great help and spotting you were always willing to give. The trail boss position could never be replaced like Todd did it.

    Todd, I'm a better person for having known you, but that makes your loss all the more painful.

    Rest in peace.

    Unhappy

    My only trip so far to Moab was highlighted by getting to meet Todd along with the vx crowd and experiencing my first bit of off-roading; which was helped out immensley by Todd's help and skillful guidance at getting me & my then stock VX through the tougher spots. I had hoped to meet up with him & the gang someday again @ a future Moab meet. He will sorely be missed.

    If not for Todd and his expertise in spotting and guidance, I would have never been back to Moab to run trails. Elephant Hill was my first time, before they did all the paving and Todd was responsible for me getting hooked on driving off-road and doing it without tearing up my truck. I'm going to miss his narratives of the surrounding area and knowledge of nature and natural science.

    Make sure leave it it better shape than when you arrived. The first time I heard that, my respect for the outdoors changed dramatically... In fact, I use that philosophy in my day to day life as well.

    Good bye, my friend... NEVER forgotten
