Richard P. Todd, 65, of Belvidere, Illinois, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, January 20, 2026.

Richard, known to most as Rick, was born on December 10, 1960, to Robert Todd and Phyllis Lange. In 1987, he married the love of his life, Trudie (née Wilson), and together they shared nearly four decades of marriage and raised two children.

Rick was a hardworking truck driver who took pride in providing for his family. Quiet by nature, he kept to himself and found joy in life's simple pleasures. He loved fishing, especially alongside his best dog, Booger, who would faithfully watch Rick's bobber and bark until a fish was caught. Rick also enjoyed tinkering in the garage, camping, and anything involving race cars. A true DIY guy, Rick was a doer—someone who got things done and could always be counted on.

Above all, Rick was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a proud papa to his granddaughter, Aria, who brought him immense joy.

Rick was preceded in death by his parents, Robert Todd and Phyllis Lange, and his brother, Robert Todd.

He leaves behind his loving wife, Trudie Todd; his son, Jacob Todd; his daughter, Amber (Kyle Im) Todd; his cherished granddaughter, Aria Todd; his brothers, Terry (Jeanette) Todd and Ronald (Linda) Todd; his sister, Tracy (Greg) Glassford; and his sister in law Kathy Todd. He was also a dear friend to many.

A celebration of Rick's life will be held with a visitation on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, at Anderson Funeral Home, 218 Hurlbut Avenue, Belvidere, Illinois 61008, at 10:00 am with a memorial service to follow at 11:00am.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Jacob Todd, Trudie Todd, or Amber Todd.
