Todd Steven Schanbaum

In celebration of his life, we announce the passing of Todd Schanbaum in Nashville, TN on

November 21, 2020.

Todd was born on February 21, 1954 in Des Moines, Iowa to Dr. Gene and Bernadine

Schanbaum. He grew up in Dallas, TX and graduated from Richardson High School. In 1998

he married his wife, Susan, and they moved to New Jersey. While living there he attended the

Art Institute of Philadelphia, where he studied photography.

Todd was predeceased by his mother, Bernadine, and his brother Bob. His memories live on

through his wife Susan, his father Gene Schanbaum, and his siblings Mark Schanbaum, Dean

Schanbaum, Scott Schanbaum and Nancy Clay; as well as his son Maxwell Schanbaum. His

life was also enriched by his large extended family, his nieces and nephews, their children, and

his many cherished friends.

Todd’s passion was photography, and in his loving, caring nature, he volunteered with Now I

Lay Me Down to Sleep, an organization that provides the gift of remembrance portraits to

parents experiencing the loss of a baby. For those who wish to celebrate Todd’s life, please
