Todd lived life to the fullest and first and foremost was a devoted dad, grandpa and husband. He and his wife recently bought a new house in Stoddard and were working on remodeling it. Besides spending time with his family, Todd had a passion for knowledge and computers. He could fix anything, had an opinion about everything, and would help anyone. He enjoyed helping his community and was the treasurer of the Retreat Sportsman’s Club. His other many hobbies and interests included camping, traveling, boating, hiking, motorcycling, music, listening to NPR, gardening, renewable energy, hunting, and drinking Kickapoo coffee and craft beers.

Todd is survived by his wife, Heather Fisher Wallin; his children, Johnathon (Erin) Swartwout of La Crosse, Ben Wallin of Madison, Leopold and Zahara Fisher Wallin of Ferryville; his grandson, Sebastion Swartwout, whom he doted on and was proud to share his birthday with; his parents, Ron and Karen Wallin of Seneca; his sister, Sara (Ron) Ross of Prairie du Chien; his father and mother in-law, Allen and Jackie Fisher of Ettrick; brother-in-law, Brad (Nancy) Fisher of Coon Valley; sister-in-law, Morgan Fisher of Green Bay; nephews, Sean, Zachary and James Ross of Prairie du Chien and Brayden and Orion Fisher of Coon Valley. He also had numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and many close friends.

Todd was preceded in death by his niece, Alanna Fisher; his uncles, Robert Zinkle and John Wallin; and his grandparents, Robert and Lois Zinkle, and Leo and Annetta Wallin.

The family would like to thank Stoddard 1st Responders and Gundersen Critical Care for their quick response and excellent care of Todd; and numerous family and friends that stopped by the hospital or sent well wishes during this tough time.
