I am still saddened by the news. I’m so sorry April and Eve for the loss of your brother. He was a great big brother for me for several years as well. So many great memories. Loved riding in his black mustang; how excited and optimistic he was about the base golf course then the police academy. He was a great man. I’m sorry to have never met Krista or any of their children. We’re all better for have known Todd. I’m also glad your mom and dad spelled his name right!
A fine young man gone way too soon. Please accept my deepest condolences.

Krista, Logan, and Landrey,
We are so sorry and are holding you all in our prayers. May you find consolation and strength in the loving hands of Jesus.
I will remember getting acquainted with Todd at the tennis courts, as we watched our kids play. And the time we met up for a tasty breakfast at Youngbloods! He always seemed to have a calm spirit about him, and even when he wasn’t feeling the best he would find strength to come out and watch Landrey and others play tennis. Great man, and we will certainly miss him! Rest easy my friend.
Rest in Peace Todd, you always had a friendly smile when I would see you at Subaru. Prayers for the family.
I am so sad to hear about Todd’s passing. I lived out at the air base when I was in college and he was such a good friend and looked out for me. He was such a good person. Prayers for his family and friends! Gone way too young🙏🙏
So sad to read this. Todd and I met when I move across the street from him on Moberly at the base. He came across the street and helped me move in. I would help at the golf course mowing, watering and picking up golf balls. Was a super neighbor and friend. RIP brother.
Todd was the nicest, most positive person. My heart goes out to his wife and kids. ❤️
My heart breaks for this family. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family and friends
Todd and his beautiful sister April were in my orchestra at Paramount Terrace. I was a new teacher and immediately fell in love with the entire family. Todd always had a smile and loved life. I was honored to know him and April .
