Todd "TJ" Schoppers, 42, surrounded by his loving family, passed away Thursday, June 20, 2019 after suffering a major heart attack.

Todd was born on July 16, 1976 to Lewis and Kathy (Braun) Schoppers, and raised with his siblings in Rochester, MN. After graduating from Lourdes High School, Todd worked as a mechanic beside his father at Jiffy Lube for several years. He then began his career as a Machine Operator working with his brother at Bowman Tool & Machining.

Todd leaves behind his two children, Morgan (14 years) and Dane (12 years); his mother, Kathy Schoppers; sister, Michele (Larry) Lawler; brother, Jeff (Lynn) Schoppers; nieces, Samantha Schoppers and Jadyn Schoppers and nephew, Jagger Schoppers all of Rochester; and his children's grandparents, Pat (Glen) Skewes of LaCrosse, WI.

He is preceded in death by his father, Lewis; and his grandparents.

Todd loved raising his children and creating a home for them in Rochester. He enjoyed fishing and rooting for the Minnesota Vikings. Todd had a great sense of humor and contagious smile that he shared with his family and everyone he met. He always had an extremely giving heart which he demonstrated by his request to be an organ donor, donating his kidneys to save the lives of two others.

Todd's family would like to thank all the people at St. Marys Hospital Mary Brigh Unit 5G for the wonderful care he was given during his time there.

Memorials are preferred to his children.
