Todd Michael Borski, 51

Todd Michael Borski, of Stevens Point, passed away at Aspirus Stevens Point Hospital surrounded by his family on Aug. 24, 2026, at the age of 51, after a courageous 11-month battle with glioblastoma brain cancer.

Todd was born June 21, 1975, in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, son of the late Gerald L. Borski and Janis (Trecka) Borski. He grew up in the area and spent countless hours on his bike or three-wheeler, exploring the Town of Hull with his friends. He also spent a lot of time with RC cars, a hobby that led him to create lifelong friendships. Once he had his driver’s license, he enjoyed cruising around in his beloved 1984 Monte Carlo, a prized possession he never parted with. Todd attended local schools and graduated from Stevens Point Area Senior High in 1993.

After high school, Todd joined the workforce and began his career with Spectra Print. He started in shipping and receiving and, with hard work and dedication, worked his way up to “running the place,” as the H’s would say. In August 1998, Todd met Penny Fisher and soon discovered she was the love of his life. The two happily eloped to Las Vegas and were married on Feb. 6, 2002. Todd and Penny were the definition of the Dream Team; they were inseparable and did everything together. In their 24 years of wedded bliss, Todd and Penny welcomed two beautiful daughters and proudly raised them on their hobby farm, where animals, flowers and hot pepper plants were plentiful. Todd was extremely proud of the family and the life he and Penny created; he adored his girls, and in time, their boys. Todd loved to teach his girls and their boyfriends about anything and everything in life, eager to pass on his passions and knowledge. In 2016, Todd’s family expanded once again when he connected with his full biological sister, who he did not grow up with. To his surprise, he learned she had been given up for adoption before he was born, and in January 2026, they finally met in person.

Todd loved life and made sure to fill his with love and adventure; there was nothing he wouldn’t try. While Todd’s greatest love was his family, he also had a passion for motors of any kind — three-wheelers, boats, snowmobiles, motorcycles, cars, you name it; he loved to own them, work on them and, of course, play with them! After all, he didn’t get the nickname “Hot Rod Todd” for no reason! He could skillfully rip anything apart and put it back together, and when he did, his trusty tool-girl, Penny, was undoubtedly by his side. Todd also enjoyed caring for his hanging flower baskets, hot pepper plants and all the animals that he and Penny needed to have. Todd also had a knack for cooking and enjoyed the task with enthusiasm. From cooking basic meals in the kitchen to utilizing the grill and smoking meat, Todd enjoyed it all. Every Sunday was Family Day for Todd and his family. He looked forward to planning and cooking the weekly meal and enjoying it with Penny, the girls and their boyfriends. They all enjoyed the great food and cherished the time spent together.

Todd’s fun-loving personality and generous nature made him likable by all who met him, from the older ladies who needed help reaching the top shelf at the grocery store to his beloved friends and family. He had a natural talent for making everyone who crossed his path feel special. Like a good whiskey, Todd just got better with time. He was bold. He was smart. And he was truly one of a kind. His absence will leave a quiet space in our lives that cannot be filled, and his memory will be forever treasured.

Todd is survived by his beloved wife, Penny; his daughters, Kalaiya (Lance) and Emily (Carter) Borski; his sister, Julie (Jason) Barnum; his adored grandma-in-law, Nancy Feltz; and his in-laws, Barb Feltz and Troy Adams.

Todd was preceded in death by his father, Gerald; his mother, Janis; his parents-in-law, Richard and Denise Fisher; and his maternal and paternal grandparents.

The family would like to express a heartfelt thank you to all of the family, friends and community members for their support during Todd’s trying diagnosis. A special thank you to Tom and Angel Stubinski from Bootleggers, dear friend Pookie Rosa Steuck, and all of the kind and caring staff at the Stevens Point Aspirus Cancer Center.

A celebration of life will be held Monday, Aug. 31, 2026, from 4 to 7 p.m. at Shuda Funeral Chapel, 3200 Stanley St., Stevens Point.

Shuda Funeral Chapel is honored to be assisting the family with arrangements.
