Todd Bowen Lewis

After over two years of living with a terminal cancer diagnosis, Todd Bowen Lewis passed away contentedly at the age of 60 on September 21, 2024. Throughout his life and especially during the past two years, Todd drew significant strength from his faith in Jesus Christ, his family, his friends and neighbors, his work, and his pastimes. Todd would want to share how grateful he was for the dedicated support of so many people who visited and volunteered to help him but perhaps even more importantly he would express gratitude for the help shown to his family. Todd always found joy notwithstanding any difficulties he faced.

Todd married his princess, eternal companion, and his “apricot sunrise,” Sheri Jensen on February 6th, 1988, in the Salt Lake Temple. He indescribably adored her and their children. As a husband, Todd loved making Sheri happy leaving thoughtful notes, chocolates and treats, flowers, and kind words. With his children, Todd spent quality time doing the things they loved and nurturing their interests. He taught them to be intelligent, wise, and gentle.

That same love extended far beyond Todd’s relatives as a result of how he was raised. He grew up in Kaysville, Utah, as the third of ten children where they learned to work and play hard. From a young age, Todd helped all of his family with whatever they needed and gracefully passed on valuable life lessons. He loved and treasured his relationships with his siblings and honored his father and mother. When his father passed away, Todd graciously filled the role as the patriarch of the Lewis family.

Todd knew how to listen, and was a voice of counsel, wisdom, and comfort. He had a generous heart, and would never hesitate to give to someone he knew was in need. He could talk to anybody. It didn’t matter who you were, where you came from, or what you did- Todd could find something in common with you and make you feel like you mattered. He loved to tease, joke, and always kept the people around him guessing. You could count on seeing a mischievous smile on his face. His humor was highly contagious and spread among his siblings and children.

Todd was a very loving, humble, meek, and gentle man. In his life, he experienced many physical afflictions, which helped him to be very empathetic and understanding of the struggles of others. He looked forward to the day when he could make a jump-shot again.

Todd often shared fond, spiritual memories from every calling he served at church. He served proudly as a missionary in Oakland, California, on the High Council in the Draper Utah Eastridge Stake, and as a gospel doctrine teacher. He was able to serve as an ordinance worker in the Draper Temple for fourteen months before his passing. Todd was more than happy not just to do it but do it right, with great attention to detail. He took every opportunity to serve those around him, and volunteered for any assignment available.

For more than half of Todd’s life and until his last four days on this earth, he invested time and energy in his work at CMC FLEX. It was very important for him to develop strong relationships with his coworkers and clients as well as to care about the success of the company. When he started working at CMC FLEX as a telemarketer there were twelve employees. He quickly advanced acquiring new skills becoming a vice president as the company grew to 150 employees. He enjoyed the challenge of solving any problem presented to him. While his work was serious and thorough, his humorous and caring personality aka “Toddzilla” was still never absent from the office.

He was easy to please, and didn’t have any “favorites,” but Todd did love waterskiing, horses, motorcycles, gardening, classic rock, pinball, jigsaw puzzles, basketball, building things, new shoes, nice ties and suits, black jackets and coats, and predictability. While outwardly he was typically conservative and professional, he had some fun surprises up his sleeve. It was not uncommon to hear the bewildered question, “Is that Todd?” upon seeing him on his motorcycle or riding his unicycle through the neighborhood.

Todd will be missed not only for filling any given room with love and laughter, but as a devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; a loving husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, and uncle; a dutiful worker; and a caring friend.

Todd is survived by his wife, Sheri; his children: Kody(Jane), Caeley, and Trevor: his granddaughters, Delphine and Freya: his mother V. Maurine Lewis: and his siblings, Sandy Harper, Lori Lewis (Andrea) Evans, Colette (Russ) Condie, Linda (Darryl) Walker, Caryn (Justin) Blackburn, Terrell (Tana), Shane (Lisa) , Kent (Nichole) and Kevin (Debbie). Todd was preceded in death by his father, Emery Bowen Lewis.
