OBITUARY: Todd Radi 

Todd Alan Radi, age 36, of Fisher, Minnesota passed away on Thursday, August 12, 2010, at Altru Hospital in Grand Forks, North Dakota.

Todd was born in Crookston, Minnesota on April 12, 1974, to Orville and Beverly (Johnson) Radi.  He attended Fisher Public School and graduated from Fisher High School in 1992.  Todd also attended the University of Minnesota, Crookston, where in 1998, he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Plant Industries Management, with an emphasis in Agronomy.  
On December 29, 2001, Todd was united in marriage to Nichelle Rene Larson at the Sand Hill Lutheran Church in Climax, Minnesota.  Todd and Nichelle began their life together on the Radi farm in rural Fisher.

Todd started working for his dad and uncle on the family farm before he was a teenager and continued to do so until 1996.  At that time he formed a farming partnership with his brother, Dave.  He dedicated his life to his family, friends, and farm.  He enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, watching the Minnesota Golden Gophers, and recently became certified in scuba-diving.  But most of all, Todd was completely devoted to his girls, his blue eyed blondies.

Todd was a lifelong resident of Fisher, Minnesota.  He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, in Fisher, where he served on the church council.  Todd also served as the President and Director of the West Polk Soil and Water Conservation Board for many years.

Todd is survived by his wife, Nichelle; three daughters, Madison Rene, McKenzi Elin, and Maci LouAnn; his parents, Orville and Bev (Johnson) Radi, Fisher, MN;  a brother, Dave (Barb) Radi, Fisher, MN; and a sister, Melanie (Jeff) Holbeck, Crookston, MN.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Herman and Virginia (Wagner) Radi and Steve and Frances (Meier) Johnson.
