Todd Robert Junkins, 52, of Casa Grande, Arizona, passed away on September 6, 2026. Born on April 6, 1974, in Omaha, Nebraska, Todd moved with his family to Cheyenne, Wyoming, at age 12, where he grew up and spent most of his life. In 2021, he and his wife, Jenni, moved to Casa Grande, Arizona, where he spent his remaining years.

Todd began his career at Halladay Motors in Cheyenne before building a long career with Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR). He retired early from the railroad in 2022 and later worked in the oil industry for Liberty Energy, a company he genuinely enjoyed being part of.

Outside of work, Todd’s spirit came alive outdoors. He loved camping, four-wheeling through the hills and across Moab, riding his motorcycle on road trips to wherever the next adventure waited, barbecuing, and traveling to new places with Jenni. He loved sports, especially the Broncos and the Avalanche, and had a passion for movies, adventure, RC cars, and being on the water, whether boating or paddleboarding. A proud Disney adult, he never missed a chance for a little magic. Most of all, Todd loved being surrounded by his family and friends.

Known as a gentle giant with a bright smile and an enormous, kind heart, Todd had a larger-than-life presence and personality. He was fun-loving, genuine, deeply rooted in integrity, and fiercely loyal—the kind of man who always went above and beyond and never hesitated to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Todd touched many lives and inspired others to become better versions of themselves.

Todd’s passing has left an emptiness in many hearts, and he will be profoundly missed. He is survived by the love of his life, Jenni; his incredible children, Tyler (Bre), Marissa (Austin), and bonus child Ricky; his six beautiful grandchildren, Bennett, Knox, Thad, Paisleigh, Everleigh, and Hadleigh; his parents, Sharon and Rich; his sisters, April and Stacy; and many nieces, nephews, and close-knit friends whom he considered family.

Todd was preceded in death by his sister, Jennifer Tennant-Hansen, and both sets of grandparents.

Todd will be remembered for his generous heart, his easy smile, and the love he poured into every relationship. He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, loyalty, and adventure that his family and friends will always carry with them. May the love of family and friends, the memories he created, and the example he set throughout his life bring comfort to all who mourn him. A Celebration of Life is scheduled for Friday, October 2, 2026, at 1 p.m. at Schrader, Aragon & Jacoby’s reception hall.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests honoring Todd’s memory by donating in his memory to the National Prion Disease Pathology Surveillance Center https://www.givecampus.com/campaigns/13311/donations/new.
