Todd Montgomery Obituary Todd Alan Montgomery, age 52, passed away Sunday, November 28, 2021 surrounded by his family at their Mansfield residence. Born November 14, 1969 in Shelby, Ohio to Marvin (Duke) and Cynthia (Sperk) Montgomery. A 1988 Shelby Sr. High School graduate, Todd was a resident of Shelby for the majority of his life until moving to Mansfield in 2017. He was a mason by trade and aspired to join the Ohio Air National Guard. He had plans to marry and raise a family. These plans were dramatically altered on January 21, 1990 when a vehicle Todd was a passenger in was struck by a drunk driver resulting in a closed head injury that caused severe brain damage and permanent paralysis of his left side. Despite the tragedy, Todd truly lived a happy and meaningful life at home under the constant unconditional love and care of his parents for the past 30 years. He was a comforting presence that never complained, he was always happy, he had a strong will and a loving heart, a beautiful smile and an infectious laugh...He will surely be missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him. Todd was a member of the Taylortown Community Church. His hobbies included weight lifting, fishing, hunting, thumb wrestling and going to sprint car races.
