Todd Michael Bussmann was born April 16, 1975, to Edward and Darlene (Douvier) Bussmann. He was a father, husband, son, brother and neighbor, and exceeded the expectations of all of those roles. After graduating from Melrose High School in 1993, he went on and earned an associate degree in finance and credit at Alexandria Technical & Community College. After college, he married his high school sweetheart, and seven years later, they had a baby girl. Todd dedicated the last 33 years of his life to the credit union in Melrose. He was so loyal to the company and devoted his life to work. He was the type of person to do anything for anybody at any time of the day. He would always be up at the crack of dawn to play a round of golf with his friends and stay up late to attend his weekly volunteer meetings. He would always make people laugh with his snared remark comments and always strived to put a smile on anyone’s face. Todd loved to hunt all winter long and kept busy in summer by golfing three to four times a week. We will all miss him dearly, and his kindness and laughter will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.
Survivors include his wife, Stephanie Bussmann of Grey Eagle; daughter, Payten Bussmann of Grey Eagle; mother, Darlene Bussmann of Melrose; sister and brothers, Sandy Stangler of Rogers, Scott Bussmann of Melrose, and Brian Bussmann of Melrose; father and mother-in-law, Stephen and Gloria Elfering of Melrose; sister-in-law, Shauna Massmann of St. Augusta; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Todd was preceded in death by his father, Edward Bussmann; brothers, Jeffrey Bussmann in 1973 and Mark Bussmann in 2024.
In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred.
Arrangements were made with Patton-Schad Funeral and Cremation Services of Sauk Centre.
