Todd C. Monastero

Todd is survived by his loving wife Jill (née Ringler); his children Jessica, Tyler, Kristen and Sal

and his parents Sal and Kathleen Monastero, his siblings Kimberly Stanton, Craig Monastero

and Courtney Roc. Todd grew up in Berwyn and graduated from Conestoga High School in

1988. He then earned a BS degree from Villanova University.

Todd was a devoted husband and father. He married his wife Jill in 1993. Together they raised

four beautiful children who were actively involved in their school activities and sporting teams.

Todd was a varsity basketball player at Conestoga and became an avid golfer also. He taught

his children to enjoy and participate in sporting events and passed on to them a lifelong

fondness for Villanova basketball. In many circles, Todd was considered the #1 Wildcat fan in

Philadelphia.

In addition to being a loyal sports fan Todd had a powerful voice and was frequently asked to

sing the National Anthem at many local gyms and arenas. Amazingly, just last month, Todd

kicked off the Catholic League Basketball City Championship games at the Palestra in

Philadelphia with a tremendous rendition of the National Anthem. This was especially gratifying

to Todd, Jill and his children, since the Palestra is considered to be one of the most famous

gyms the the United States. As always, Todd delivered and received a roaring ovation.

Todd had a successful career in the financial services industry and in the last few years became

a gifted evangelical speaker devoted to bringing listeners to a life changing acceptance of Jesus

as Lord and Savior After learning of his cancer diagnosis in 2015, Todd turned his life over to

our Lord and found a rewarding peace. He gave many speeches over the next three years and

inspired thousands of people in our community with his message of HOPE and to never quit. As

a result of claiming Jesus as his Lord and Savior, Todd spoke about his journey to Heaven and

his powerful message that “He has already won” because of the work that Jesus had already

completed on the cross.

Todd completed his final and most impactful speech in front of 1500 men at the Man Up

Spirituality Conference on March 9, 2019. He received a standing ovation as he proclaimed “I’ve

Already Won”.

A celebration of his life will be held at Hope Community Church, 150 East Beidler Road, King of

Prussia, Pa. 19406 on Saturday, May 4 at 1:00 PM.
