Todd Anthony Anderson, 55, of Danville passed away October 3rd, 2025 at St. Joseph OSF in Bloomington.

Todd was born October 17th, 1969, in Danville IL to Patricia and Harrold Anderson. He attended Catlin High school before working for Smoots construction and Georgetown High school.

Todd was married to Christine Shepherd (Jennings) on March 23rd, 1998, in Georgetown IL. During their time together they were blessed with two daughters Shaylee Ann (Brant) Anderson-Hanshaw, And Kaylin Jo (Jeremy) Caudell.

Growing up Todd enjoyed participating in several sports and was even in a play. His most loved sport was Baseball getting so good he was offered to trial for the Kansas City Royals. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping and really anything that kept him out in nature including planting a massive garden in his back yard that he loved to tend to.

Todd was a skilled carpenter for Smoots Construction before having an unfortunate accident while on the job. Following the accident Todd worked at Georgetown High school where he enjoyed interacting with the kids, watching them grow up and head off into adulthood also the staff, which includes his brother Wade who also works at Georgetown High School.

TA made it a personal goal to not only brighten everyone's days and lives but to also perform one good deed daily, whether it was bringing fruit from his trees to the neighbors or buying someone a drink.

One thing everyone that knew him could say was that he would give the shirt off his back to a stranger and not think twice about it, even if it was his last shirt. Which is his daughter's best guess as to why he had so many loving friends around all their childhood and into their adulthood.

He was preceded in death by his sister Holly Anderson, Grandmother Dorthy Suchaczewski, Father Harrold Anderson, Brother Luke Anderson and best friends Melvin and Jim (Wild man). He is survived by his Mother Patricia Anderson, Sister Julie (Matthew) Anderson-Sigmon, Brother Wade (Anna) Anderson-Foote, Sister Melanie Anderson and Sister Hilary (Tony) Anderson-Speich. Nieces and nephews- Alex, Mitchel, Will, Jenna, Dakota, Mercee, Gabby, Lillee and Mia. His daughters Shaylee and Kaylin, their spouses and his grandchildren Jett and Roxy Hanshaw.
