Todd Lawrence Nowak

December 20, 1970 — August 1, 2023

Todd Lawrence Nowak, age 52, of Toledo, Ohio passed away peacefully surrounded by his four favorite girls on August 1, 2023 at Cleveland Clinic. He was born to Mary Nowak and Larry (Lisa) Nowak on December 20, 1970 in Toledo. Todd worked as a bowling alley mechanic for Ottawa Lanes for ten years before running Bowlero Lanes, where he took great pride in the care of the lanes ensuring each bowler had a fair shot. He then went on to be the quality manager with Mobis North America in both Toledo and Detroit for 18 years. Todd was an avid bowler from the age of 10, holding many 300 rings. He also enjoyed playing golf and softball. He loved nothing more than being on the field. His love of coaching started with his daughters in various sports, and then he took that love and went on to coach with the Wizards Softball Organization. He was a dedicated Pittsburg Steelers and Ohio State Buckeye fan. Todd was extremely laid back and easy going with a sense of humor that could fill any room with endless laughter, he was truly one of a kind.

Todd was preceded in death by his son, Jonathan Lawrence Nowak; and brother-in-law, Scott Mowka. To cherish his memory are his loving wife of 23 years, Dana (Mowka) Nowak; daughters, Paige (Chris Sakelaris) Nowak, McKenna (Kalani Ibarra) Nowak, and Skylar Nowak; mother, Mary Nowak; siblings, Kevin (Jen), Angela, Jessica, and Breanna; in-laws, David Mowka and Patrica Nopper; special nephews, Cody and Dylan; and father, Larry (Lisa) Nowak. Also surviving are many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. He also leaves "His Boys" his golden retrievers, Gomes and Bajan.

The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to Steve and Christine Kahan along with their family and the nursing staff at Cleveland Clinic.
