Born in Taber on April 2, 1962, Todd was the eldest son of Orville and Marie Grigor. He spent his formative years in Cranford, Cardston and Edmonton. He attended Harry Ainlay High School in Edmonton, where he was a gifted and enthusiastic athlete. During these years, he forged friendships and created memories that endured throughout his life. He purchased his first motorcycle in high school and achieved a Grade seven level in guitar—early signs of his lifelong passions for sport, music, and speed. As a Queen’s Venturer, Todd used these skills to mold his life filled with determination, resourcefulness, and independence.
As a young adult, Todd served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Bristol, England, where he developed a deep and abiding love for Jesus Christ. His devotion to the Savior and his desire to emulate His example were evident in all aspects of his life.
On July 2, 1983, Todd married Shelly Anderson, and together they built a family life centered on faith, family and love. From Edmonton, their growing family moved to Calgary, Williamsburg, Virginia and Slidell, Louisiana, creating cherished memories that will live with them forever.
Todd began his career as co-founder and partner of Windshield Surgeons, a highly successful windshield repair company in Edmonton and Calgary. His entrepreneurial spirit and leadership enabled him to excel in sales and customer service. Todd possessed a natural ability to make others feel at ease. His warmth and genuine connection with people were at the heart of his personal and professional life. Later, his work took him to the United States, where his passion for storm chasing and reclamation projects led him across the eastern, central and southern regions, as well as Puerto Rico and countless other places in between. Todd’s sense of humor, generous spirit and unwavering willingness to help others remain his enduring legacy.
Above all, Todd cherished his faith and family. He will be remembered for his trailblazing spirit, his kindness, his sense of humor and the unique light he brought into the lives of those who knew him. Todd lived a life marked by curiosity, courage, persistence and a profound appreciation for the beauty of the world and the people around him. He never shied away from adventure or challenge, except heights. He found purpose in serving others, sharing his talents and embracing the wonders of nature and humanity, all while remaining steadfast in his faith in God. His life was rich with meaningful relationships, unforgettable experiences and epic stories of triumph, failure and resilience that inspired him to dig deeper, strive harder, and never give up.
He is deeply missed and forever loved. Godspeed, Todd! God be with you ‘till we meet again!
