Louis Anthony Todaro

Louis Anthony Todaro, age 44, of Los Angeles, California passed away on Monday, July 14, 2025. Louis was born to Mariann Portelli and Salvatore Todaro. He grew up in Wayne, NJ and attended Wayne Valley High School. He continued his education at William Paterson University and soon after moved to the west coast to follow his dreams.

Louis could only be remembered by his family and friends as vibrant and passionate. His personality was larger than life, and in his presence, you were sure to smile, laugh, and feel loved. Louis had the biggest heart that was undeniably felt by those around him. Within moments of meeting him, you experienced his kindness and humility. In the presence of Louis stood the presence of a true friend, genuine heart, and pure soul.

Louis had an unmatched enthusiasm for life. He lived his life to the fullest, ensuring every moment was filled with laughter, fun, and excitement. His sisters described him as ambitious and “a dreamer,” as he lived life fearlessly chasing down his every goal and dream. Louis believed we could do, have, and create anything we wanted. No matter what he endured, Louis’ persistent positivity uplifted those around him and gave others hope. Louis truly believed life was an adventure, and to Louis it was. The sky was not the limit, but merely a starting point.  

From kicking off his life as a charismatic and successful child actor, to developing his growing love for music as an exceptional and talented DJ. Louis brought so many people together, creating unforgettable memories.

His life was driven by the passions of his heart, that he boldly shared with those around him. From acting, to music, to his love for food, business, and personal development. To his unique and outgoing sense of fashion, his relationships with family and friends, to taking massive action to change the world for the better. These were the things that meant most to Louis.

Louis had such a strong and unstoppable entrepreneurial spirit. With countless business ventures, from real estate development to energy performance and more, he was always seeking the next opportunity for expansion. Louis had a growing love for God and a deep faith that fueled his daily life and dreams. No idea or concept was too big. If he thought it, he could bring it to reality.

Finally, his biggest passion of all, the love he had for others. Louis was always selfless and ready to help others before himself. He jumped at the opportunity to help everyone and anyone, even people he did not know. He had a drive to be better, to grow, and to help others do the same.

His parents, his sisters, and to all his cousins, relatives, friends and business partners, from coast to coast; these are the people he lived for. To support them, to love and protect them, and to make his family proud. That was his end goal in life. 

Louis is preceded in death by his stepfather, Robert Giannella, and his grandparents, Mary Portelli, Anthony Portelli, Teresa Todaro and Louis Todaro Sr.

Louis is survived by his parents (Mariann Giannella and Salvatore Todaro), sisters (Elizabeth Graves, Sarah Giannella, and Rachel Giannella), nieces (Serena Graves, Kendall Graves, and Ella Graves), nephew (Bond Hanna), brother-in-law (Kent Graves), and sister-in-law (Madison Giannella).
