Todd's infectious laughter will be greatly missed by so many. His educational achievements include an MBA, BA and a BS in Accounting, all from University Arkansas Little Rock. He was most recently a salaried professional for Robert Half International's Little Rock division. He was always there to lend a hand to many causes. Helping People with Aids (HPWA), Kindred Hospice, American Heart Association Heart Ball, just to name a few. Todd was an active member of Western Hills United Methodist Church, serving as Treasurer and lending his voice to the ''Amen Choir.'' He was also an accomplished entertainer known across the nation as the female impersonator, Stephanie Richards. He garnered the crown of Miss Gay Arkansas in 2008.

He is also survived by his ''Chosen Family;'' a group too large to mention who loved him dearly and his adorable fur babies, Fred and Maggie May.

My heart goes out to you Michael, n to his family n friends. I loved this man so much, because of his wonderful spirit. I am heartbroken I'll never one of those great big hugs, he gave the best hugs ever. One of the kindest n funniest entertainers, he had a big heart n would help anyone. I'm going to miss your great big smile and all the love you spread anywhere you went. I'll never forget you in my truck bed, that's all I'll say, a priceless moment, huh Michael 😚 its our little secret n treasure to remember. I love you Todd, my Steph, i look forward to seeing you again someday, I'll miss you till then ❤❤❤
I was Todd's oldest cousin from his mothers side. It is sad that he had to leave us so early. He accomplished a lot to be proud of in his life and seemed to have a fun, successful and good life. He gave my parents their favorite cat years ago. He obviously touched many people through his life journey and he leaves us having made the world a better place.

To Michael & Todd’s family, I am so very sorry to Lear of Todd’s passing. He was a dear friend to me when we worked together at Travel Nurse across America. He was extremely intelligent as an accountant and had a very diligent work ethic. His delightful sense of humor kept us often in stitches! He had one of the kindest and most giving hearts I have ever known. He brought sunshine and joy wherever he went and will be sorely missed.
