Obituary

With deepest sorrow, we announce that Todd Vermillion, age 41, our beloved Son, brother, family member and friend was taken far too soon.

Todd was born in Tucson and grew up in Buckeye. He was the first of two children to Kent and Candy Vermillion of Litchfield Park. Todd leaves behind his mother, Candy Vermillion, his sister, Kendra Vermillion, and many loving family members and friends.

Although, only 41, Todd affected many people in his lifetime. He was a loving son to his mother and father, a loving brother to Kendra, and best friend to many.

What you saw was always what you got with Todd, and what you saw – if you were fortunate enough to know him – was a hardworking, generous, selfless, caring, and funny human being. He loved to make people laugh and his laugh was infectious.

Todd’s passion was using his self-taught skills and talents to build and create things for family and friends. He was always working on a project. When he wasn’t building something in his garage, he was helping someone out. Todd was always willing and eager to help people, whether they were friends, family, or strangers in need.

His fun-loving energy for life was apparent to all who knew him. Todd enjoyed throwing pool parties for friends and co-workers, building things, and restoring old cars, especially his Mother’s 1974 Land Cruiser, which he was especially proud of.

Most importantly, Todd had a deep love for his family, and cherished the time they would spend together. From an early age he loved the holidays, and enjoyed making and giving thoughtful gifts to family and friends, having meals together, and simply spending the day taking everyone for a ride in one of his proudly restored vehicles.

Todd enjoyed working at Alpha Graphics. Creative by nature, he was recognized for improving the way business was done. A tribute to his philosophy on success is a large picture proudly displayed on a wall in his home office – an image of Popeye shoveling rock, captioned “Put in the Work – There’s No Shortcut to Success”.

We know Todd is now with his Dad, Kent Vermillion, paternal grandparents Ken and Genevieve Vermillion, Uncle Barry Vermillion, and is loved on earth as well as in heaven. Those who knew Todd, even a little lost a shining light in their lives. We will love and miss you every day –We’ll miss your warm smile, your infectious laugh, and your love for life…Mom and Kendra.

Friends will be received at the Wigwam Sachem Room, 300 E. Wigwam Blvd., and Litchfield Park (623) 935-3811 on Saturday, May 22nd from 1-3pm.

For those who choose to give a gift to honor Todd – The best way to honor his life is to do what Todd would do – Be kind to someone, be the reason someone laughs, help someone in need.
