LINDEMANN, Todd Michael, 46, passed away on June 5, 2020. He was preceded in death by his dad, Ernie Lindemann. He is survived by his mom, Judy Lindemann; sister, Traci Lindemann Smith; son-in-law, Steve Smith; and nephews, Riley Smith and Benjamin Smith. He is also survived by his beloved fur-nieces, "Abby" and "Maya".
Todd lived most of his life in Oconomowoc and Madison, Wisconsin until he moved to Arizona in 2004.
From the family: "You will be deeply missed. You will be missed for your light, laughter, infectious smile, lust for life, and ability to make an impact on everyone you touched. You will be missed for your fun socks, inability to refer to anyone other than a dude, knack for picking out the best cards - except that one Christmas when I received a Kwanza card.....love of dancing, and car karaoke - especially if John Denver, Lionel Richie, the Grateful Dead or Phish came on the radio! You will be missed at family events on both the Lindemann and Smith side of the family and even those unplanned - like being together when each of us tore our ACLs. You will be missed by so, so many friends across the states - We only wish we had the chance to meet more of them. And, while you will be missed, there is so much to be thankful for. Thank you for being the PERSON for Riley and Benjamin - a fun uncle in the truest sense and a confidant when they just couldn't deal with us. Thank you for being the best friend and brother a sister and brother-in-law could ask for, and above all, being the best son a mother could ask for. You have left a whole in our hearts that cannot be filled. But, it brings us peace knowing that you have reunited with dad and loved ones lost too soon. And as, the Colorado Smiths said so well, we will forever have a fun angel looking over us to keep us safe. As you start your new adventure, we only ask that you keep singing, keep smiling, keep dancing and keep enjoying this new life in only the way you know how. Until we see each other again. Much love."
