Justin and Caydence, although we only met Todd a few times at snox races it was so obvious how much he loved you and was so extremely proud of you! It was very clear you had a very special bond. The first time we met him he also spoke of how much he loved Caydence and just adored her. His face just lit up when he talked of her. We are so very sorry for your loss and we love you both very much.

Dear Robin and family, We are thinking about you and praying for God's comfort and peace. I remember sharing New Years Eve with you and Todd in Florida. It was so good to see you and spend time together. You have been in my thoughts since I heard of Todd's death and I will continue to pray for you every time God brings you to my mind. Love, Renee and Bob

Dear Don, Gwen, Robin and Family.
 Our hearts are full of sadness on learning of the passing of Todd. Too Young Too Soon! Memories of two young beautiful boys; those challenging teen years... A young enterprising entrepreneur who worked hard to become a successful business man always mindful of his role as son, husband, father and grandfather. We offer our support. May you find peace in knowing how loved Todd is.

I am so saddened to hear of Todd's passing. Our paths have crossed for many years beginning when he was 8-9'years old playing on my Dad's Newhall Tigers, thru school, Grandville Wrestling and most recently his projects that required tile. I hope that all of the wonderful memories and keeping your family close helps during this difficult time. I will have the entire Sparpana family in my thoughts and prayers. Teresa Kozal - Bonham

You never said "I'm leaving" You never said "goodbye" You were gone before I knew it, And only God knew why.
 There are no words to tell you Just what I feel inside The shock, the hurt, the anger Might gradually subside
 A million times I'll need you A million times I'll cry If Love alone could have saved you You never would have died
 In Life I loved you dearly In death I love you still In my heart you hold a place That no one could ever fill
 It broke my heart to lose you But you didn't go alone For part of me went with you The day God took you home
 Things will never be the same And all though it hurts so bad I will smile whenever I hear your name And be proud you were my Dad.

Sparpana Family,
 We never had the pleasure of meeting Todd, but we have heard such good things about what a great father and grandfather he was. His and Robin's love is so apparent and overflowed through Justin, Kayleigh, and Caydence's lives.
 We are praying for all of you to be strong through this great loss. Please pray for god to release the grief from your hearts. God will carry the weight of anything you ask . Be strong for one another and rally together. You have a termendus family unit and you will recover.
 Love,
 Paul, Sue and Brandon Piersma Megan and Aaron Engelbert

I am so sorry and sad to hear of Todd's passing. I have known Todd through our business relationships since the early 2000's and he was always a very honorable businessman. We visited annually during the UTA convention and I feel that the used truck industry has lost a high level individual. My heart goes out to his family and know that you all will be kept in my and my husband Herb's thoughts and prayers.

 Posted by Sheri Aaberg - Nashville, TN - Business Associate July 24, 2013

We have known Todd for many years. Even though our paths didn't cross often, Todd was always a friend that possessed integrity. He was a treasure to know and always helpful with knowledge of the trucking industry.

Robin, Justin, Josh and and everyone at GRTC, 
 I (and everyone at Micrologic) would like to express our condolences for the loss of Todd. We have been working with you and Todd such a long time now that it's hard to believe he won't be there next time I come to the office. I am so sorry for your loss. Todd was a really great guy that never failed to make me laugh. He will be sorely missed. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers. 
 Take care,
 Dan

We are so very saddened by your loss. The Sparpana family were dear neighbors of our family. We used to babysit for them. I, also, purchased a car from him and found him to be a wonderful person. All of our hearts go out to you. Love the Emperor family

Sparpana Family so sorry to hear about your loss. Todd was a nice person. He was a great help to my sons (Blake, Branden, and Brenny) with snocross racing after they had lost their dad. You are in our thoughts.
