In Loving Memory of Todd M. DeTonnancourt
November 20, 1963 - October 20, 2024

Todd M. DeTonnancourt, 60, of Coventry, RI, who had made his home in Louisa, KY for the past 10 years, passed away on October 20, 2024 after a brave and courageous battle with cancer. Born in Rhode Island to the late Raymond E. and Frances (Lesniak) DeTonnancourt, Todd lived a life marked by hard work, an inventive spirit, and his appreciation for family and friends.

Todd is survived by his three daughters, Allison Benitoa and her partner Brad Cordle of Louisa, KY, Brittney McKay and her husband Keith McKay, and Jessica Crowley and her husband Matthew Crowley, all of Coventry, RI. He will be remembered by Lisa Acree, with whom he shared the pleasure of parenting Brittney and Jessica.

Todd leaves behind cherished memories with his grandchildren, Landon, Zackary, and Grayci Bays of Louisa, KY, who he loved dearly.

Todd is also survived by his brothers, Scott DeTonnancourt and his partner Soni Green, and Dean DeTonnancourt and his partner Steve Meersman; his uncle Louis Lesniak; his nephew Eric DeTonnancourt; and his niece Alyssa DeTonnancourt. 

Todd's hands were always busy—whether in the garage working on cars or machines, or inventing gadgets to make everyday life a little easier. He spent much of his time at "The Club" (Club Jogues), where he was known for socializing with friends, throwing horseshoes, and riding his bike around town. His mechanical expertise was evident in his work at Loyd Long Oldsmobile, Paul Bailey’s Warwick Ford, and Pare’s Service Center in Rhode Island, where he was a respected auto mechanic for many years.

When Todd moved to Kentucky, he brought with him his passion for mechanics. In Louisa, he continued to help friends and locals with their vehicles, and he formed new connections while keeping his same familiar routines.

Todd will be missed dearly by all who knew him—family members, lifelong friends, and those who had the pleasure of crossing paths with him over the years. His generous spirit, quick wit, and dedication to helping others will be remembered and celebrated by many.

In honoring Todd's memory, we remember a man who valued friendships and the simple joys of life. He will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

A private celebration of Todd's life will be held for family and close friends in Kentucky. Friends and family in Rhode Island are invited to a celebration of life on Friday, November 15, 2024, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Club Jogues, 184 Boston Street, Coventry, RI.
