Funeral arrangements are in place for Christopher Todd, 30, of Rochester, who died of heat stroke last week on a hike with family in the White Mountains in New Hampshire.

The viewing is today from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. at Witzke’s Family Funeral Home in Ellicott City, Md.

The funeral service is Friday, at 10 a.m. at St. Louis Catholic Church in Clarksville, Md.

Any donations can be directed to a fund set up at McDaniel College in Westminster, Md., in Todd’s honor, attention of Christopher Todd, Class of 2005. Donors can donate by credit card or check, among other options listed on the website.

Stephanie Todd, Christopher’s widow, was on the trip to N.H. with Christopher as an annual family tradition, she said. Christopher was a healthy individual, but the Blueberry Trail hike was strenuous, she said. Stephanie Todd was not present on the hike.

The two lived in the 19th Ward, and Christopher worked as a group leader at Bausch and Lomb. Stephanie Todd said he loved the outdoors, the Rochester Public Market, and movies.
