Todd Wayne Bartlett, 67, of Montague, passed away Monday October 28, 2024.  He was born May 30, 1957 in Topeka, Kansas, the son of Douglas and Shirley Ann (Hetzel) Bartlett.

Todd served his country honorably in the U.S. Navy, exemplifying duty and loyalty. His commitment to others continued through his work within his church community, where he served as both a deacon and an elder. A true leader, he shared his wisdom, strength, and kindness with everyone around him.

His love for the game of soccer was evident, coaching for many years as both an assistant and head coach. His players remember him not only for his expertise but for his support, encouragement, and belief in their potential. He was also a steadfast supporter and helper to his family, offering guidance, strength, and love at every opportunity.

Todd and his wife, Brenda, were best friends, and he was her fierce protector and partner in all things. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and mutual respect—a bond that will continue to inspire those who knew them.
