Dr. Ehrlich’s passing was confirmed on Facebook by Damien Bonner, a good friend and colleague, who wrote, “Just heard the terrible news that my friend, one of my favorite speakers amd mentors in dental, Todd Ehrlich passed away in a motorcycle accident today. Dr Ehrlich worked hard to support me in my early days of selling CEREC with Patterson Dental. I lost count of how many times he flew up to lecture for our CEREC community. A vibrant personality and a great soul. I am in complete shock that this is real, You will be missed Todd and thank you for all you’ve done for me.”

That wasn’t the only post put out. Another colleague named Michael Smith said, “Dr. Ehrlich, (Todd), you had a unique way to speak and share your knowledge. Many times we talked about your adventures and where they may take you next. You lived life as fast as you could and enjoyed every second of it. It’s very hard to think no more talks on your trips, planning of racedays and cruises. You my fine sir, will always be known for your infectous smile, your amazing photography and of course your love for two wheels on the road. I’m sure you were enjoying life to the fullest all the way to the end. Praying for your family and the dental community. You are unreplacable to say the least and hopefully we can continue to educate with the same enthusiasm as you. Rest In Peace, friend!”

Dr. Todd Ehrlich is survived by his wife Kristine and two sons. The full details of the accident are not yet clear. Authorities have yet to release them, as this is an active investigation.
