December 14, 1959 – March 31, 2025
at the age of 65 years:
It is with great sadness that the Grayston family announces that Donald Todd Grayston passed away March 31st 2025. He was born in Kamloops, BC, December 14th 1959.
Todd is survived by his four children: Marshall (Sara), Courtney (Jeremy) whom he shared with his ex-wife Cathy, Quinlan and Rhyan whom he shared with his ex-spouse Trish, his grandson Ziggy and his brother Kim.
Please let us remember the good times we had with Todd. He was a very fun, charismatic and energetic man.
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember many fun parties and great memories of Todd with Dave Phillips and Dave Williamson. He was also our realtor when Marc and I purchased our home on Lolo St in Kamloops, cooked us Chinese Food as a house warming gift. Baseball was always fun when Todd was around. Sad to hear of his passing. Condolences to all his family.
I was very sad to hear that Todd passed away. We had lost touch after working together at Woodward’s. I have some great memories of him and I’m happy to hear he had more kids and even a grandson. RIP Todd
Since I was called about Todd’s passing my mind has been flashing back over the last 45 years of memories ….working at Woodward’s, Ball Teams, Camping, Cooking, Groomsman….the list goes on. I am sorry that you lost your energy that we all knew and loved. I hope you are at peace. You will me missed my friend!
To me he will always be Toddy…when we worked with each other at Woodward’s, we would call him “Hot Toddy”…being the young teenager he was he had many young ladies after him. Then he met Cathy. How his attitude changed, … he was so in LOVE.” This is the girl I’m going to marry” he told me time after time! Of course his pride was in his children and he was so proud of them all. Todd stayed with me for a while and we laughed everyday, supporting each other through tough emotional times. He was always welcome in my house and then he would cook his Chinese food! OMG…fabulous cook he was! Sometimes it would be months before I would hear from him, but as soon as that familiar voice was heard it was like no time had passed. His energy, his laughter, his funny stories brought such joy. He was like my kid brother and sometimes he would call and say” Hey Mom” …I knew that smiling voice then a laugh would follow. I met his young daughters in Salmon Arm and again he was so proud to become a dad again. WE have lost a true friend and those who knew Todd always had nice things to say about him. When I told both my adult children they were both saddened as they too always liked Todd. He touched so many lives. When he lost his parents, he called, when he had a great day he called. When we had a Woodward Reunion in Kamloops a couple of years ago we talked several times about coming but he couldn’t make it and he apologized over and over. So, our Hot Toddy, you are missed so much and know that you will always be!
RIP dear friend 🙁

So sorry to hear of Todd’s passing. We worked together at Woodwards. He was always a dear friend and will be missed. Rest in peace Todd.
Todd was a silver-tongued charmer, a champion of fair play and the rights of those that couldn’t/didn’t speak for themselves. Over 50 years, I heard his hopes and dreams delivered with his signature enthusiasm mixed with disgust for flaws in the system. Loved the way he could carry a story, make it come to life and with real heroes, princesses, potions and goblins. So sad his story ended too soon. You are missed old buddy!
I am so very sorry to hear of Todd’s passing. My mom and his mom where childhood friends.
He was always so friendly when ever I saw him. He helped sell my parents home for them
My sincere condolences to all of his family. May he rest in peace.
I am so sorry to hear of Todd’s passing. I had worked with Todd, and we stayed friends over the years. My condolences to all the family.
RIP Todd, you will be missed.
