Obituary of Todd Samuel Kuczma

April 3, 1976 - Oakville, Ontario

June 20, 2024 - Calgary, Alberta

Todd Kuczma, beloved son, father, brother, uncle, and friend, passed away on Thursday, June 20, 2024, at the age of 48 years.

Todd was born in Ontario and moved to Alberta when he was four years old. Growing up he moved with his family to Houston, Texas and Red Deer before finally settling in Calgary in 1988. Todd had an incredible sense of humour, (he could make anybody laugh), an easy-going personality, patient, kind and would do anything for the people he loved at the drop of a hat. Todd was friends with everyone he met for life. From an early age, he participated and excelled in sports. He had two great loves in his life – his son, Jake and the game of golf.

In his early twenties, he became a member of the Canadian Professional Golfer’s Association and worked at several golf courses in and around Calgary. In 2015 he left the industry to work for Canadian Engravers. At about the same time he started his own business under Blackwolf Golf Inc. It was a way for his friends and golf associates to participate in high-level golf competitions at affordable rates. Later he was able to successfully add engraving golf merchandise as a significant part of the business.

Under Blackwolf, Todd organized a charity auction each year with all proceeds going to Kids Cancer Care. Todd loved kids and had a close relationship with his niece Tess and nephew Zak. He spent every summer with them, his son Jake, and his sister camping in New Denver, BC.

He is survived by his son Jake, his parents, Ed and Grace Kuczma; his sister Patricia, his nephew Zak, his niece Tess, as well as numerous cousins, aunts, and uncles.
