Todd A.

Gilson

ALLENSTOWN – Todd A. Gilson, 54, of Allenstown, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.

Born and raised in Nashua, NH, Todd was a graduate of Nashua High School.

He shared 27 wonderful years of marriage with his wife, Nikki.

Todd enjoyed fishing, New England sports (especially the Bruins), and music.

He was a devoted fan of Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, and, above all, the Grateful Dead. He attended well over 100 Grateful Dead concerts throughout the years, a testament to his love of their music and the memories he made along the way.

Todd had a deep love for his family, cherishing every moment spent with his son, Sam, as they shared their passion for sports and engaged in lively discussions about statistics. He also delighted in accompanying his daughter, Mia, on shopping excursions, where they created lasting memories and laughter.

His giant, beloved dog, Lola, was rarely far from his side—unless, of course, Nikki was around! She was his constant companion, always keeping him company and sharing in the simple moments of everyday life. Since Todd’s passing, Lola has seemed to feel his absence deeply. Her eyes have been filled with tears, and her daily sadness is a heartbreaking reminder of the special bond they shared. It’s clear that Todd wasn’t just her person; he was her very best friend.

Todd was predeceased by his mother, Barbara (Gilson) Monroe and father-in-law, Paul "Curly" Vezina.

He is survived by his wife, Nicole (Vezina) Gilson; his twins, Samuel and Mia Gilson; his mother-in-law, Pamela Vezina; brother-in-law, Fred Vezina; sister-in-law, Caryn Vezina; niece, Charlotte and many cousins.

Calling hours will be held at the Roan Family Funeral Home, 167 Main St. Pembroke, on Friday, November 20, 2026, from 4PM to 6PM. To share a memory or offer condolences, please visit www.roanfamilyfuneral.com.
