Todd Brian Petray, 42, passed away on Saturday, March 6, 2010 at home after a long and brave battle with cancer. He was born in Richmond, a resident of Manteca and former resident of Concord. Todd’s career was spent as a butcher where he worked for Safeway Stores. Prior to that, he worked at Lucky Stores and in the moving industry. He had a very special gift with children and animals, always surrounded by them, playing with and caring for them.

He is survived by his son, Zackary Petray of Dublin; mother, Sylvia Petray of Manteca; sisters, Dianna (Richard) Jensen of Martinez and Lorie (James) Mahoney of Manteca; brothers, Joseph (Nanette) Petray, Jr. of San Ramon and Jeffrey Petray of Manteca.
A member of a very large and loving family, Todd is also survived by a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins, too many to mention but loved just the same, as well as close friends who supported him in his time of need.

Todd was preceded in death by his father, Joseph Petray, Sr. and sister, Linda Petray.
