Todd was born August 16, 1987 to William and Terry Cummings. He grew up in Memphis and loved the city. He attended Briarcrest Christian School for Elementary and Junior High, Christian Brothers (CBHS) for High School, and earned his Bachelor’s Degree from Rhodes College. Todd then went on to earn a graduate degree in psychology and dedicated his time to helping others through his work with troubled youth and foster families.
Todd particularly enjoyed eating steak, Caesar salad, and spicy Chinese food; spending time with friends and family; and participating in online gaming groups. He will be fondly remembered for his generous heart, his desire to help others, and yes, even his stubborn streak.
Todd is survived by his parents, William and Terry Cummings of Memphis, TN; his brother, Scott Cummings of Austin, Texas; and his sisters, Rachel Cummings Flake (Kody Flake) of Eads, TN, Karrie Cummings Hendrickson (Robert Hendrickson) of Tucson, AZ, and Lisa Nothdurft (Dean Nothdurft) of St. Louis, MO. Todd was preceded in death by his grandparents, James and Louisa Box, Mary Sherwood, and Leonard Cummings (Francis), and his infant sister, Kathryn Louise Cummings.
