Todd Francis Ingalls, 58, of Rochester died on Friday, March 21, 2025 at St. Mary’s hospital with his loved ones at his side. Todd was born on April 3, 1966 to Gerald and Shirley Ingalls in Rochester. He graduated from John Marshall High School in 1984.
Todd married the love of his life, Adele (Nelson) Ingalls June 25, 1990. Todd enjoyed many things in life such as his family, pets, and he loved traveling when he was healthy. New York and Vegas were by far a few of his favorite places to visit. Todd had many jobs over the years, but a love for driving turned into teaching kids how to drive. He opened Drivers Training 101 in 2007 and ran a successful business for almost 18 years.
Todd is survived by his wife of 34 years, Adele Ingalls; siblings, Nancy Behnken (Mark Bennett) of Rochester, Mark (Lori) Ingalls of Pine Island, Carmen (Don) Giles of Rochester, Kay Dahlman of Rochester, and Rae Parker of Rochester. He is preceded in death by his parents, Gerald and Shirley Ingalls and three brothers, Robert, Roger and Glenn Ingalls.
Visitation will be held on Tuesday, March 25, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. and a service at 11 a.m. followed by a luncheon at Rochester Cremation Services, 1605 Civic Center Dr NW Rochester, MN 55901. Pastor Paul Bauch will be officiating.
Adele, I am so very sorry for the loss of your husband, Todd. I am praying for comfort and peace for you and your family.
My heartfelt condolences to Adele and the rest of the family. He was a very special person.
Adele, both my girls took driving lessons from Todd. They have such fond memories of him. He was a great teacher. Thinking of you and your family. So sorry to hear of Todd’s passing.
Todd was always available if I needed help or support or just be someone who listens.
I’m going to miss you Uncle Todd. You were an amazing man…I’m so glad you are out of pain and with your family. You will truly be missed.
Love you, rest peacefully.
Adele, words can’t describe how sorry I am for your loss. Todd was more than just a cousin (through marriage) to me, he was my friend and an inspiration to me. I always enjoyed spending time with Todd. He had an amazing soul. I will miss him.
Todd touched so many lives through his driver’s ed training. We were with him for a few years all over at different schools sharing our son Dustin’s story along with Gary Hahn on organ donation. He touched lots of kids lives, he will truly be missed. Our deepest sympathy to the family.
Adele, I’m so sad to hear about the loss of your husband. I’m thinking and praying for you. Denise Johnson ( Bernie Wampach’s daughter)
