Todd Eugene Baer, 82, of Wabash, Indiana, passed on a full moon at 3:09 pm, Monday, November 7, 2022, at Parkview Wabash Hospital to join his beloved wife, Katie, whom he had not stopped grieving. He was born on September 17, 1940, in Wabash, Indiana, to Edward “Eddie” and Thelma (Sands) Baer.
Todd was a 1958 graduate of Noble High School. He first married Carol Tucker on April 25, 1961, and to them was born Lisa and Angie. Carol died June 24, 1986. Todd married Kathryn “Katie” Snavely, in Lexington, Kentucky on November 8, 1985, and together, they blended a large family. Katie died January 8, 2022. Todd was a successful crafty carpenter and contractor. He enjoyed a good game of cards and food, with his pals at the lake. He always looked for a better price, a better investment, and a reason to get to the boat. He liked his wine and his beagle, Pete.
He is survived by seven children, Lisa (Scott) Hearn of Wabash, Angie (Michael Liu) Baer of Columbia City, Indiana, Mike (Mary) Loe of Sebring, Florida, Deborah (Michael) Bechtol of LaFontaine, Indiana, Tony (Kathy) Loe, Carolyn Stansbury, and Stacie (Jeff) Denniston, all of Wabash; 17 grandchildren, 32 great grandchildren, 12 great great grandchildren; and his baby brother, Tonie Baer of Wabash. He was also preceded in death by his parents, and his older brother, Ted Baer, who died in 1985.
The family will receive friends to honor Todd’s life at a later date. Arrangements by Grandstaff-Hentgen Funeral Service, 1241 Manchester Ave., Wabash.
