Todd's Obituary

Todd Brian Kietzer, 65, of Benton Harbor, MI, passed away on March 16th, 2025. Born on December 15th, 1959, Todd leaves behind his daughter, Olivia Ridge-Kietzer, and his siblings, Rocklyn (Rock) Kietzer, Rodney Kietzer, and Janine Winters.

Todd was a man with a remarkable gift for working with his hands. He had an exceptional ability to repair, restore, and improve any piece of machinery he could get his hands on. Whether it was vehicles, equipment, or tools, Todd’s expertise in mechanics was second to none. His friends and family knew they could always count on him for advice or assistance with any mechanical problem. His hands-on approach and problem-solving skills made him a trusted figure in the world of repairs, and his knowledge left a lasting impression on all who knew him.

Todd also had a creative side that was expressed through his winemaking and cooking. He loved experimenting with different flavors and combinations, always looking for new ways to create something unique. His wine was a personal project, and he took great joy in crafting different blends and experimenting with new techniques. Todd’s love for cooking was equally impressive—he had the ability to take the simplest ingredients and turn them into something truly enjoyable. Whether he was whipping up something in the kitchen or creating his latest wine batch, Todd always put his heart into everything he made.

Todd’s true legacy is the deep love and connection he shared with those around him. His friendships were built on trust, loyalty, and shared experiences. He was the kind of person who could always be relied upon—whether to lend a hand with a project, offer a listening ear, or share a laugh. His infectious energy, warmth, and generous spirit made him a beloved friend to many. Todd cherished his relationships, and those who had the privilege of knowing him will always remember his unwavering support and the joy he brought to their lives.
