Todd Wayne Dreher

Todd Wayne Dreher, 57, of Palisade, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on Monday, July 22, 2024. He was born on May 19, 1967, in Minneapolis to Wayne and Eloise (Anderson) Dreher. 

Throughout his life, Todd enjoyed the outdoors. He loved camping, fishing, hunting, and spending time on the lake. Gardening and landscaping were his favorite activities, as he continuously worked to enhance the beauty of his property.  More than anything, Todd loved and was proud of his family. His children were the most important thing in his life. Nothing made him happier than being involved in their lives. He would want them to know he was very proud of them and wanted the very best for them. 

Todd had a profound love for animals, caring for any animal in need, including cats, dogs, chickens, llamas, horses, and birds. For him, this was a passion and it brought him joy.  Todd loved being a part of the Palisade community. He was a talented cook who loved hosting cookouts for friends and family. His many other talents allowed him to be involved in numerous local businesses in various roles, including firefighter, mechanic, cook, bartender, lawn care professional, and as the owner and operator of Touchdown Entertainment. His happiest times were running the Palisade Cafe alongside his family.

Todd was preceded in death by his parents, Wayne and Eloise Dreher, and his brother, Roger Dreher. He is survived by his children: Brady (Ashley) Dreher, Ashlyn (Collin) Spomer, Cody Dreher, Charlie Dreher, and Riley Dreher; his grandson, Carver Dreher; his siblings: Cathie Rasmussen, Linda (Paul) Marso, Jeff (Donna) Dreher, Sue (Tom) Bingham, Kevin Dreher, Lisa (Steve) Moosbrugger, Joyce Block, and many cherished nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends who will miss him dearly.
