Todd Shogren Obituary

My memories of Todd are ones of true friendship. There was not a day in which his friendship and beautiful soul didn't radiate like the sun! You will be missed, my friend!

My memories of Todd are from long ago. A happy, funny, young man who had a knack for finding things to like about people. I happened to run into him at Jose's not long ago. He was in the company of his Mom and brother. It was a wonderful site. He greeted me with a strong hello and engaging smile. It is a simple memory I will always cherish. He will be missed. I share my sympathy with all of Todd's family and friends, and especially his dear mother.

Beautiful and touching Memorial Service/Celebration of Life for Todd yesterday. Very impressed with the number of people who came and those who shared their memories and feelings. Blessed Be to all.

My heart go out to you in the loss of your son. It is so hard when the loss is such a young person. My thoughts are with all of your family in this time of sorrow.

I will asways cherish the time and conversation I had with you. Little did I know when I said good-by in October that it really would be good-by. To Kelsey I wish I was there to give you a hug I know that you love your dad very much. Know that your dad isn't really gone a very special part of him lives on in you.

Much Love

I will miss seeing Todd as I did many days on my walks through town. I will miss shopping at his store and chatting with him. I will always cherish the memories I have of him, each one is uplifting and truely a blessing. I will miss you Todd, but you will always be apart of us here in Manitou Springs. ?

I was fortunate to be able to take this photo of Todd (with his beautiful daughter Kelsey standing next to him) in his shop during the Carnivale Parade 2010 in Manitou. I would be happy to share copies of this photo with anyone who contacts me. RIP, Todd. You will be missed.

I am happy and proud to say that I took this photo of Todd in his shop during Carnivale 2010. Standing next to him was his beautiful daughter, Kelsey. I am more than happy to share copies of this photo with anyone who wants one. You may email me at [email protected] and I'll send it to you. RIP Todd. You will truly be missed.

I cant imagine not seeing him anymore. I would go in the Hemp Store to buy Insense. I would browse the beads, make him take out the trays and pick out a few. Todd and I both knew I didnt need the beads, but just couldnt help myself.What a truly nice man and I am so sorry for his daughter. Hang in there Girlie.

I went downstairs to see who was moving into the store below my loft in Manitou and there was Todd- his hair short and wearing a dark grey suit. After introducing ourselves I learned that he was tired of the rat race, was planning on letting his hair grow, opened a Hemp Store and was "just ready to be relaxed". The years following I watched just that- Todd was dedicated to living a stress-free and good-for-the-earth lifestyle...something many of us wish for but rarely achieve. Todd inspired me to sell my art- and he was always willing to give me shelf space for my stained glass. All told- I am very proud to have known him, and my whole heart is with Tracy, Kelsey and the entire town of Manitou Springs. We will miss you more than we can measure Todd- Peace Love and HEMPiness....Laura Allen
