Todd Walter Elkington of Homer, Alaska, died July 28, 2021, at the age of 54 after a brief illness.
Todd was born Nov. 7, 1966, to William Brice Elkington and Shauna Steadman. He moved around a lot as a child but finished high school in Grantsville, Utah. He later went to Southern Utah University and University of Alaska – Anchorage. Shortly after moving back to Utah, Todd met and married his wife, Holli Wood. Craving more adventures and heeding a call from the wild, in 1995 he brought his wife and beloved dogs back to Alaska, finally settling in Homer, Alaska. He worked many years for Safeway and recently went to work for South Peninsula Hospital as a long term care biller.
Todd’s real passion was his family. Todd and Holli welcomed four beautiful children into the world. Two amazing and loving sons, Sage and Keegan, and two strong and articulate daughters, Madi and Lili. An Eagle Scout, Todd spent every moment he could taking his kids camping and on adventures. He was also a true nerd at heart, and he loved gaming with kids and friends. His goal was to be a fantastic father and he far exceeded his quest. The kids loved never having to ask Google anything because Dad would always know the answer. He was a brilliant man with a dry sense of humor that made everyone laugh and want to be around him. He was truly a wonderful husband, incredible father, loving son, beloved brother, and great friend to many.
He is survived by his mother Shauna Steadman, and his siblings Troy (Teresa) Elkington, Heidi (Kevin) McAffee, and Trevor (Sara) Elkington. The sparkle in his eyes were his children Kenneth Sage (22), MadiLynne Sloane (19), Keegan Charles (15), and LiliHanna Layne (13). Married on the first anniversary of their first date, Todd was a loving and caring husband to Holli for almost 31 years. He was preceded in death by his father, William Brice Elkington.
Todd will be missed every moment of every day. This world was a better place with him in it.
A celebration of his life will be held at a later date in Homer, Alaska, and in the Tooele, Utah area. The family has requested that no flowers be sent.
