In Remembrance of Todd Frey
April 12, 1962 – August 17, 2023

Help uphold Todd’s wishes and beliefs.

Todd was the kindest, gracious, compassionate, loving husband, son, brother, friend and good to everyone. His heart was in the right place. He didn’t want the spotlight as life was not about him. Todd gave others a reason to shine and become the best they could be. He loved and valued life. Todd never gave up on his dreams to help others truly live a full life of health and happiness. Todd wanted others to realize the power one holds within oneself. Whether it is through creativity, a purpose, or dreams yet to fulfill, do not allow others to take away your power. Our time is short on earth. Breathe life back into your faded dreams. Choose how you want to live it. Be the difference. It’s your choice.

Help honor Todd’s life by making time for simple joys. May it be around your kitchen table, over a cup of coffee, a campfire in the woods, a walk in the park, under a shade tree or a drive in the country. May it be just one person or many who you share life’s joys. Uplift and show kindness to everyone and every creature you may pass along the way. Share a smile, a hello, a helping hand, a laugh, a song, a story, a hug, or simply share silence. Show grace, respect, and unconditional love, uphold and be good to each other.

Todd and Cheryl shared a deep love for 42 years along with their future hopes and dreams.

Todd was so loved by many and will be deeply missed.

In Todd's words “Let’s keep moving forward.” and “Get busy living.”

Condolences for Todd Frey can be sent to:

✨Yme 507 – onze grote vriend is niet meer✨

Alle inspanningen ten spijt was er niks meer mogelijk om hem te helpen en is Yme 507 vredig ingeslapen.

Door een trauma in het verleden was er slijtage ontstaan. Wij konden Yme geen paardwaardig leven geven, er was tot ons grote verdriet geen behandeling voor.

Vaarwel vriend, bedankt voor alles wat je voor ons betekend (hebt). Hij leeft voort in zijn nakomelingen.
