Daniel Ryan Todd Obituary (1985

Mr. Daniel Ryan Todd, age 36 was brought into this world on the 20th of February in 1985 in Decatur, Illinois. He was to be the loving son of Danny Ray and Tammara Shaul Todd. Daniel lived a deeply impactful and meaningful life. Although his Thirty-Six years on this Earth, and in our presence, was far too short by any measurement, we will remember him always for his kindness, as well as his strong determination. He was a proud 2004 graduate of Madison Consolidated High School and sought to be of service to both his nation and loved ones. In this pursuit, he earnestly enlisted in the United States Army but was discharged due to a chronic illness. A condition which plagued and severely deprived him of his eyesight throughout his life. Despite this constant challenge, Daniel never lost his forgiving spirit and was never one to hold grudges or stand in the face of reconciliation. He carried with him a kind competitiveness and natural intelligence. A distinguishing mixture that allowed the pursuit of not only his love of football and wrestling during his school years; but also, his lifelong practice of the game of chess and the playing of the guitar. It can prove surprising the great many things that can still be said in acknowledgment and memory for a life cut so short; but above all, he will be most remembered for his resolute and loving devotion to family. He was incredibly fortunate in the fact that he was able to marry his soul mate, Sarah Wahl on March 31st, 2017. He often referred to her as the 'Love of his Life'. He was blessed, and blessed the world, with five children. His sons Kaden, Jayden, Jaxon, and Eli and his daughter, his Princess, Zoey. Although he was many things: a friend, a cousin, a son, a grandson, a husband; it was this role, that of a father, that he found most fulfilling and inspirational. His children were the ultimate light of his life and will continue to be the enduring carriers of his memory. For all the heartache his passing has brought us, we can be assured that he has only been reunited with his loving brother, Channing Todd, and together they will be entertaining the Angels until we meet them again. Daniel died on Saturday, May 29, 2021, at 11:03 a.m. in Westville, Indiana.
