Todd Arthur Hovendick was born June 4, 1971 in Stevens County Hospital in Morris, Minnesota to Gordon Robert Hovendick and Judy Ann Richardson Hovendick. He grew up on a farm in the Cyrus area and was baptized at Trinity Lutheran Church in Cyrus. He attended school in Cyrus, graduating in 1989. He was in the last class to graduate from Cyrus. At an early age he attended many basketball games in the Cyrus gym, where he learned to love the game and played through his high school years. He loved other sports including, football, and baseball. In 1972, Gordon and Judy bought a farm where Todd would help milk cows, hog chores and taking care of fat cattle, which led him to being in 4-H. After high school, Todd began working for Morris Co-op in their shop. After several years, Todd went to the water treatment class at St. Cloud Technical School. He decided he liked shop work better and began working for Royal Tires in St. Cloud. He was later employed by Integrity Auto in Princeton, Minnesota. He married Julie Gruett on April 19, 1997. To this union one daughter was born, Claudia Judith Hovendick, born on August 25, 1999. She is now a junior at Zimmerman High School. The couple divorced in January, 2013. Todd continued to live in Zimmerman, working for Integrity Auto until the time of his death.
