Todd A. Hobby

Todd Alan Hobby, 48, passed away on Saturday, May 27th at his parents’ home with them by his side.

Todd was born on September 13, 1974 in East Hartford, Connecticut, to Alan and Deborah Hobby.

During his childhood, his family moved to Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania where Todd began playing baseball at an early age and was a standout player. He graduated from Cumberland Valley High School where he was a member of the varsity baseball team. Todd went on to play baseball at Frederick College and then continued his outstanding career with a year of Independent Pro Baseball with the Johnstown Johnnies.

After finishing his baseball career, Todd had a longstanding career as a distinguished mortgage loan officer. Todd’s pride and joy were his two children, Izabella and Milez. He devoted his time to coaching and watching them follow in his footsteps with softball and baseball. He coached Milez’s youth baseball teams and Izabella’s travel softball team, Polar Elite, where he was the head coach for five successful seasons. His passion was making sure his children were able to experience the best things in life. He enjoyed traveling with his family and winter weekends on the ski slopes as well as watching sports, especially his beloved Green Bay Packers and UConn Huskies. Todd was also an avid griller, often enjoying cooking for his family and friends.

Todd was preceded in death by his grandparents, Ted and Alice Dickman, an uncle, Ricky Dickman, and cousin, Jennifer Dickman. Todd is survived by his loving children, Izabella and Milez Hobby, his parents, Alan and Deborah Hobby, his sister, Kelly Erwin, his nephew, Dylan Mansfield, his niece, Alicen Erwin, and his wife of 11 years, Amanda Hobby. In addition to his family in Pennsylvania, Todd is survived by many family members in North Carolina, Florida, and Maine.

A celebration of Todd’s life will be held at Cocklin Funeral Home in Dillsburg on Tuesday, June 6 at 1:00 in the afternoon. The family will receive friends before the service beginning at 12:00.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests you consider contributing to Izabella and Milez’s athletic expenses so they can finish this season in honor of their father. Donations can be mailed to Izabella or Milez Hobby at P.O. Box 314, Dillsburg, PA.
