Todd Michael Sandeno

November 18, 1971 - January 25, 2021

Age 49, of Morris, IL passed away suddenly, Monday, January 25, 2021 in Nashville, TN. He was born November 18, 1971 in Joliet, IL to the late Kenneth Paul and Diane M. (nee Lardi) Sandeno. He graduated from Gardner-South Wilmington High School with the class of 1990. Member of the St. Lawrence Catholic Church in South Wilmington, IL. Todd was a co-owner of “D” Construction in Coal City along with his two siblings, Ken and Tami. They are all proud to carry on the legacy their father created. He served on the board of directors for the Contractors Association of Will and Grundy Counties and was a member of the Local #150 Operators Union for over thirty years. Todd was a wonderful father, who made sure to set aside time to spend with each one of his children. He loved hunting, shooting, and four-wheeling, with the boys, but he also loved to take his little girl shopping, watching live performances like Dancing with the Stars and Blue Man Group, and of course four-wheeling. The kids and their friends will never forget Todd’s no phone Sunday rules that applied to everyone…except for him. He also had a love for traveling and enjoyed visiting the Cayman Islands with his family. His personality lit up any room and he was always known as a loyal man and the love he had for family will never be forgotten, but only to be passed down to generations to come. He married his grade school sweetheart, Richelle Romanetto and eventually married February 24, 1996 at the St. Lawrence Catholic Church. They have three beautiful children, Tyler, Trent, and Raegan Sandeno. Also surviving are his brother, Ken (Kristi) Sandeno of Morris; sister, Tami (Brian) Hansen of Gardner; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends; mother-in-law, Ellen Romanetto of Gardner; father-in-law, Gary Romanetto of Cardiff, IL; sister-in-law, Missy (Chris) Lenzie of Gardner; brothers-in-law, Mike (Diane) Romanetto of Cardiff and Scott (Bev) Romanetto of Coal City; and his four-legged companions, Reese and Willow. Work was Todd’s passion and he considered himself blessed to not only have the immediate family he had, but his work family was just as important. Preceding him in death were his father, Kenneth P. Sandeno on June 17, 2011; his mother, Diane M. (nee Lardi) Sandeno on December 1, 1980; and maternal grandmother, Clema Lardi, whom helped raised the children after their mother passed away.
