Wayne Todd

Thomas Wayne Todd passed away into the presence of The Lord on Sunday, August 16, 2020 at the age of 69. A native of Ellisville, MS and longtime resident of Foxworth, MS, Wayne proudly served in the US Army and worked many years in the feed and seed business and then retired after managing convenience stores. He was a member of Big Creek Baptist Church in Soso, MS and was an avid fisherman who felt “at home” in a boat. Wayne loved the outdoors and was a very knowledgeable gun and knife enthusiast. Wayne loved his family deeply and always had a “snappy” comeback and would have those around him bursting with laughter. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
