Todd was born November 3, 1969 to Bernard and Marjorie (Byam) Nelson in Austin, Minnesota. He grew up in Blooming Prairie and graduated in 1988 from Blooming Prairie High School.

On December 15, 2012 he married Erica Boever and gained his step-daughter Arri Meiners.

He attended Vo-Tec school to become a machinist. After a few years in Owatonna at SPX, Todd switched to being one of the Elementary School custodians and enjoyed seasonal work at CFS in Blooming Prairie. He was also a proud ambulance volunteer in Blooming Prairie for many years.

Todd enjoyed fishing, playing Farkle and putting a few back with friends, going on his Sunday drives with his dogs and hours and hours of his Westerns! He will be remembered for his old school personality, “dad jokes” and raiding anyone’s candy jar!

He is survived by his wife, Erica; step-daughter, Arri; siblings, Michonne (Chester) Boyd of Hayfield, Bernard “Chuck” (Sharon) Nelson of Bloomington and Sheri (Dan) Boyland of Andover; mother-in-law, Cathy Boever; in-laws, Allison (Travis) Hensrud, Christina (Jeff) Getchell, Thomas (Alisha) Boever, nieces and nephews, Jesse (Katie) Boyd, Derek (Kayla) Boyd, Emmy (Willie) Manggaard, Ethan and Connor Nelson, Dustin, Brianna and Hailey Hensrud, Connor and Myah Getchell, Madilynne Boever, Blake and Savannah Kramer; great-nieces and nephews, Brianna and Sara Boyd, Thomas Boyd, Marabelle Manggaard and other dear friends and relatives.

Todd was preceded in death by his parents; grandparents; and father-in-law, Tim Boever.
