Todd Owen Woodbury was born December 26, 1963 to Loren and Rosetta (Sanow) Woodbury in Worthington, Minnesota. Todd was a gregarious and outgoing individual, who was very generous to family, friends, and strangers alike. This disposition led him into a career in sales. His life was dedicated to his family especially his son and grandchildren and he loved spending time with his extended family and many friends. He was a faith filled man, with a strong relationship with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Todd is survived by his son Brandon (Eleanor) and his grandchildren, Bailey, Cecilia and Amelia, his siblings, Terry (Joyce) Woodbury of Crofton, NE, Jerome (Nadine) Woodbury of Worthington, MN, Lowell (Wanda) Woodbury of Sprit Lake, IA, Cheryl Haas of Chaska, MN, Lydell (Lorrie) Woodbury of Norfolk, NE and Lori Ann Matthys (Joe Hansen) of Sioux City, IA.; 15 Nieces and Nephews; 48 great nieces and nephews; many other relatives and friends. He is preceded in death by his parents, grandson Ayden, nephew Adam Woodbury and great nephew Benjamin Sahr. Memorials are suggested to the family for designation at a later date.
Written by Brandon in remembrance of my father:
I was there by his side as he crossed the great divide, he makes his way to God’s golden gates
Where surely, he won’t have to wait;
cause when he gets there, I just know Saint Peter will let him know how welcome he is and to be there;
His family and friends who passed before will greet him and with that big smile he will watch over them all for
a while;
I’m sure he is looking down telling us all not to frown, He’d want us all to remember him how he was and
where he’s been for there is no doubt in my mind he touched lives every time he went somewhere and saw a
need he’d always help and do a good deed;
So if he taught me nothing else in life, its to always try to be kind and nice, the world would be a
happier place if we could follow in his grace.
Remember Me As You Pass By”
Most people who are familiar with old American gravestones know the old verse,
Remember me as you pass by,
As you are now, so once was I,
As I am now, so you must be,
Prepare for death and follow me

Sorry to hear about Todd. I have known him for 40 plus years. Met him when I lived in Wilmont back in 1978. Lost track of each other for a while after high school. When he moved back to area, we did a few things together again. I would like to say we golfed together but I am not sure what we did when golfing was what you would call golf. But we did chase the ball around the course a few times. Took in a few ball games in Sioux falls. Met him a couple times in Worthington as he was running to get parts for Schwans. I am sure he will be missed by many.
