Todd Brown

The Biography

Let us love in deed and truth.  I John 3:18 reads, Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.  I am not sure if this was the scripture that Todd lived by yet this WAS the scripture that Todd lived by.  Many say that love is an action word and must be shown and not just stated.  The love that Todd had shown via his infectious smile that lit up a room when he entered, the way he would make you love him even if you did not want to, the way that he would give you wet kisses and warm hugs, the way that he would give you the right word at the right time; are all examples of him living out this scripture and putting action behind his words.  Todd was loud, boisterous, full of energy, the center of attention, loved to sing, dance, draw and make you laugh. His passion was his children, family, friends, and his pets.  Todd wanted to make sure that everyone knew they were loved; one of the wats he did this was by giving you a nickname.  He would yell out that nickname even if it were embarrassing; yet it was his way of loving on you individually.  Todd loved animals; more specifically dogs.  He would take in a stray dog and love it back to good health. Todd’s purpose was to love on, support, encourage and help others; whether it be family, friends, loved ones or strangers.  Todd blessed us for 46 short years, yet for God is was purposefully designed and now Todd’s legacy lives on in each life that he was purposed to touch...and that person is YOU!
