Todd Meadows’ Sister Reveals How ‘Deadliest Catch’ Star’s Sons Will Remember Their Dad After Death
The family of Todd Meadows is speaking publicly for the first time following the Deadliest Catch deckhand’s tragic death.
Meadows’ sister Mackenzie Meadows shared her heartbreak after the 25-year-old father of three fell overboard Wednesday, February 25 while filming the Discovery Channel series off the Alaskan coast.
“No words put together can even describe the pain we’re going through and will continue to,” Mackenzie told Us Weekly in a story published on Tuesday, March 3. “His boys will see him through pictures, and we will see him through his boys.”
As the National Enquirer previously reported, Todd was recovered unresponsive about 10 minutes after going overboard from the vessel Aleutian Lady. Despite life-saving efforts by the crew, he could not be revived. The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed it is investigating the incident as a marine casualty.
In a March 2 Facebook post, Captain Rick Shelford earlier called the loss “the most tragic day in the history of the Aleutian Lady,” saying Todd quickly became family aboard the boat.
A GoFundMe launched to support Todd’s three young sons has raised over $40,000.
