Todd Schmeltz was born to David and Janet Schmeltz in La Jolla, California, May 10th, 1962. He graduated high school from the Webb School of California in 1981, and received his Bachelors in Business Administration from the University of San Diego in 1985. He spent the next 10 years wearing a suit to work, before his ultimate passion for automotive mechanics led him to the starting of his own business here on Whidbey Island. With his wife Kathryn, they began the business Integrity Automotive in 1997, and grew a customer list of thousands over the course of the 15+ years they were in business. Many of those customers came to think of him as a good friend. Todd was diagnosed with cancer in February of 2011, and given six months to live. Two incredible years later, the struggle came to an end, and he passed away in his home on March 21, 2013. Todd was an outstanding father, a loving husband, and an honest, hard working person. He is survived by both his parents, his sister Heather, his wife Kathryn and his daughters Stacey and Kelly. His funeral service will be at 2 PM, April 6th at Oak Harbor Lutheran Church. In lieu of flowers, donations to the family can be made to any Whidbey Island Bank branch into the account titled, “Friends of Todd Schmeltz.” Any donation is greatly appreciated. He will truly be missed.
