It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of Todd Ernest Fleming, a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend. Todd, aged 63, left us on September 10, 2023, due to an unforeseen heart attack. His departure leaves a void that can never be filled, but his memory will forever be cherished by those who knew and loved him.
Todd was born on February 25, 1960, in Champaign, Illinois, and grew up in Villa Grove, Illinois. He was the loving son of Dale and Patricia Fleming, both of whom preceded him in death. Todd is survived by his devoted wife of 39 years, Rebbecca Fleming, whom he married on May 6, 1984, after a chance encounter at a bowling alley in Chandler, Arizona. Their enduring love story has been an inspiration to all who knew them.
He was a dedicated father to his three daughters: Yvonne Rodriguez (husband Adam), Stephanie Fleming, and Milah Garcia (husband Adan). Todd's unwavering love and support for his family knew no bounds, and his daughters and their families were the center of his world.
Todd leaves behind cherished memories for his siblings: Pamela Cler (Marvin), William Fleming (Jan), and Nathan Fleming (Mary). He was a beloved uncle to eight nieces, always there with a smile and a listening ear.
Throughout his life, Todd worked as a supervisor, demonstrating diligence and dedication in his profession. He called Gilbert, Arizona, his home, where he and Rebbecca shared countless cherished moments together.
Todd was known for his gentle and loving nature. He had an insatiable passion for sports, with an undying loyalty to the Chicago Cubs. Some of his fondest memories were attending Cubs baseball games with his family, creating lasting bonds over shared victories and defeats. He relished spending quality time with his family, and his date nights with Rebbecca were a testament to their enduring love.
