Todd Alan Just, 64, of Pawnee City, Nebraska, was born on February 28, 1962, in Manhattan, Kansas to M.L. “Jerry” and Susie (Bell) Just. In 1963, he was baptized in New Cambria, Kansas and later confirmed at Zion Lutheran Church in Pawnee City, Nebraska in 1976. In 2025, Todd completed a confession of faith and became a member of Hope Lutheran Church in Shawnee, Kansas.
Todd graduated from Pawnee City Public High School in the class of 1980. Growing up he enjoyed all things outdoors. He especially loved boating, and water & snow skiing with family and friends. His love of outdoors carried over into his work, starting on the end of a shovel for LJ Webb of Geneva, Nebraska. Todd became a supervisor within a year, running his own crew. Later in life, Todd worked for O’Donnell and Sons of Kansas City as a large equipment supervisor. During his time at O’Donnell’s, Todd supervised 19 different projects at once. The largest of those projects being the “new” Cabela’s retail site in northwest Kansas City. He loved what he did and took immense pride in the quality of his work.
