There is nothing more tragic, confusing and heart-wrenching than the untimely, unexpected death of someone who is at the beginning of his/her life. Someone who represents the best that is in all of us. Someone like Todd Brown.
On September 3, 2011 the world lost a very loyal, loving and funny 34 year old son, brother, husband, father of three and soldier named, Todd Brown. Todd tragically passed on the banks of the Platte River in an ATV accident. Originally from Schertz, Texas - he was stationed at Offutt Air Force Base in Bellevue, Nebraska.
Todd was a friend of mine from high school who I have watched grow from afar via Facebook. I cannot think of Todd without a huge smile creeping across my face – his spirit was just that pure, that loyal and that infectious. This site has allowed me to keep in contact with many of the folks from our high school, many of whom have emailed me regarding Todd’s funeral. While I have not spoken to Todd (beyond the wires of the internet) in years, I did want post his funeral arrangements - which can be found below.
After losing my brother, Jon, I am well aware of how valuable memories and stories from others can be during the life-long process of grieving. So, I want to encourage you to share your memories of Todd in the comments sections below, on Facebook or through the funeral home's obituary site.
