Todd M. Speciale

It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden passing of Todd M. Speciale. A beloved father, son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and godson, Todd passed unexpectedly on Monday, September 30, 2024.

Todd was born in Easton, PA, he was the son of Joyce Speciale-Detweiler and the late Donald Detweiler, Jr.

Todd was the kind of person who always had a smile on his face and never hesitated to help others, always putting everyone else’s needs before his own. Todd had a way of making everyone feel comfortable and welcomed, no matter who he was speaking to.

Todd was a proud graduate of Wilson High School, class of 1998, Johnson and Wales University, from which he received his bachelor’s degree and the Allentown Business School. Todd spent eight years at the ASPCA in Manhattan, NY, as a CSR Manager, before becoming a member of the FOODMatch family, where he worked as a logistics specialist. Todd played soccer, basketball and baseball for Wilson High School, and later in life was an avid golfer, playing countless rounds with his father. He loved to fish, play softball in the Yellowjackets Softball League in Brooklyn, NY, watch his kids play soccer and volleyball and cheer on the Ohio State Buckeyes, the New York Yankees and the Denver Broncos.
