Todd Emerson Stark

 11/23/1973 - 05/26/2025

Todd was a beloved father, son, brother, and friend.  He was as an entrepreneur and a free spirit who pursued multiple career paths throughout his life. He had recently shared his brilliance at TGS in Denver as a Senior Extraction Technician for over 7 years.

He traveled through life doing things his own way. He had a sense of adventure, love of family, a passion for live music, camping, the outdoors, and creating things. A jack of all trades who frequently revealed his talents. Often he found himself deep in debates and readily shared his passionate opinions. Todd had a peaceful soul and a generous heart.

He met his ex-wife, Lisa, in Arizona while attending Northern Arizona University and together they made their way back to the Midwest, where they married and started a family. Todd’s deep love for the outdoors later led them back west again. He was most at home in nature and was recently living in the mountains while working on starting a new business.

Todd was wicked smart and had a talent for building and design. He took pride in the work he did on his home—remodeling rooms from the ground up and creating a custom treehouse for his kids. He brought creativity and independence into everything he touched.

He is survived by his ex-wife, Lisa, with whom he shared many happy years, and their three children: Ben, Keegan, and Paxton. He is also survived by his mother, Judi, and stepfather, Dick; his father, Charlie, and stepmother, Barbara; his sister, Stacey, and her husband, Tom; stepsister, Dawn and two nieces, Morgan and Payton. Todd is proceeded in death by grandparents, Violet Cox, Emerson and Sophrona Stark, and stepbrother, Brett. Todd is also proceeded in death by his loyal canine friends: Willy, Miles, Taylor, and Maya. 

Todd will fondly be remembered by his loved ones for his wit, his craftsmanship, his disdain for ‘the man’ and his free spirit.
