MAYTHER, Todd J.

May 4, 1961 - January 28, 2013 Dr. Todd J Mayther, 51, passed away peacefully surrounded by family after a nearly six year battle with cancer on January 28th, 2013 at the Community Home and Hospice Center, Longview, WA.

Todd is survived by his wife of 25 years Christine; their sons, Nolan and Maximillian of Longview; his parents, Nina and Raymond Mayther; his brother, Scott; his sisters, Dena Smith and Kim Mayther; all of Spokane, WA.

Preceded in death by his grandparents, two uncles and a cousin.

He served four years in the U.S. Army as a combat engineer.

He worked at the Crisis Residential Center in Spokane before working as a counselor at Oroville Elementary School in Oroville, WA.

He spent the last 15 years working as a Counselor at Coweeman Middle School in Kelso, WA.

He was a great teacher, coach, soldier, fishing buddy, friend, son, brother, uncle, husband, and father.

But above all he was a great man.

All who met him came away changed in the most profound of ways, and all who knew him are still filled with a distinct pride and honor from simply knowing such a good person.

He loved his family dearly and treated all with dignity and respect.

A memorial service will be held for Todd at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Longview on February 16th, at 2:00pm.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Community Home and Hospice Center in Longview, or donations can be made to the Todd J. Mayther Foundation at http://everydayisagreatday.org.
