He was an exceptional individual whose life was shaped by a spirit of service, dedication to family, and a passion for many pursuits, both personal and professional.

Growing up in Sperry, Todd graduated with the class of 1981. He excelled in sports and garnered recognition for his talents in football, basketball, and baseball. The accolades he received included a scouting opportunity from Oklahoma University; however, he chose a path of service and enlisted in the United States Army, where he proudly served his country for six years where he worked on helicopters.
