It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing on Wednesday, January 8, 2025 of our beloved Robert Todd Becker, at the age of 58. Todd was the devoted husband of 28 years to the love of his life, Pollyanna Becker (Soudant) and father to his amazing son, Robert Dylan Becker. He was loved by his parents, Robert and Bonnie Becker, by his brother and sister-in-law, Paul and Nicole Becker, his sister Jody Becker, and his brother and sister-in-law, Aaron and Brigette Soudant. His memory will be cherished as the cool uncle to Owen, Liam, Aiden, Finn, Aida, Kate, Haylee and Noah. Todd was nephew and cousin to a tremendous extended family who remember his kindness and wry sense of humour. Todd was predeceased by his mother and father-in-law, Elizabeth (Libby) and Frank Soudant of Exeter.
Our Todd was most happy when he was with his family and friends enjoying the outdoors, whether it was fishing, boating, camping or snowmobiling. He and Pollyanna were the devoted caretakers of Bo-valley Farm for many years. He loved long summer days on Colpoy’s Bay fishing with friends and cruising Lake Huron on his boat (Elva Jean). Todd had such passion for cars, from his first Pontiac Firebird to his beloved Cadillac, and was always tinkering in his shed on some kind of machine. He loved the wind in his hair and a great rock ‘n roll tune, which he was known to strum on one of his guitars. Todd had an incomparable memory and always had a humorous story to share. He thought fast and talked steady; Todd was always ready to help anyone who needed it.
He was taken from us too soon but will be remembered in the hearts of his family and friends forever.
How I wish, how I wish you were here…
A come and go celebration of Todd’s life will be held at Stanley Community Centre, 38594 Mill Road, VARNA on Saturday, January 25th from 2 – 4:30 PM.
In lieu of flowers, we would ask that you kindly consider a donation to the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority.
