Condolences to the Vanbeck family, Todd did his last seminar for me in June of 2022 at our 101st Annual State convention in Nashville, Tennessee.
I met Todd in 2000, via a mutual friend in Memphis, Tennessee at Memorial Park Cemetery.
Todd was a dear friend to me; his support and knowledge and compassion for the Funeral Service Profession will be greatly missed. Loved by everyone for his jokes but by the same token great value and wisdom to the Funeral Service Profession.
Humbly Submitted,

Todd was bigger than life in so many ways, and a good friend. I am grateful for knowing and learning from this man, this example to follow. And he slipped-away ever so quietly, peacefully. As difficult as it is to imagine Todd gone, the went he left us was perfect. Rest well, our friend.
