Todd loved the outdoors and taking care of his and his family's pets. His many friends and family will miss camping, floating Missouri rivers and fishing with him. He was a rock hound and coin collector, loved playing soccer and was always up for a new adventure. Everyone who knew him will incredibly miss his laugh and his easygoing manner. Todd was a father figure to a number of children who didn't have a regular man in their lives. He filled that role and loved it. He always had a smile on his face and was willing to stop what he was doing to help anyone because his heart told him it was the right thing to do. Celeste and Todd would like to thank the staff and professionals at M.D. Anderson and their old and new friends for their care and support the past year and a half. The family will receive friends from 4 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29, at Ford and Sons Mount Auburn Funeral Home. Funeral will be at 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 30, at the funeral home, with Wavis Jordan officiating. Burial will follow at Old Goshen Cemetery near Oak Ridge. Memorials in memory of Todd may be given to M.D. Anderson Center.
