I only talked to Doc Todd on the phone, after I heard his music and I was planning Suicide Prevention Awareness Week for the VA Clinic that I worked at in Columbus, OH. He was so kind to this crazy stranger that looked him up, I probably sent him a message on FB or something, I don’t remember and he called me. I wanted him to come a do a small concert to try to connect with the younger Veterans, you rarely see them at our Clinic and I thought they would relate to the music of Doc Todd. This was either 2015 or 2016, so I was around 53 years old, I understand that young Veterans like rap and may use a cuss word every now and then, it was Doc Todd’s message and relating to the young Veterans. Well needless to say it did not happen, not because of Doc Todd he said all he needed was the cost of a flight, hotel room, and food, which was not much at all, I would have paid for it out of my own pocket if I had to, because I knew how much his songs would benefit the Veterans that I was trying to get to the VA and get services. This old woman loved his music and cried listening to his song, they were so meaningful. My husband is a Veteran and I have retired, when we go to the VA, I always look for younger Veterans and I still do not see many of them in the clinic, because it bothers me that they do not make an effort to attract them, I mean they could start with Wi-Fi, but that has been said for years and it has yet to happen. I think Doc Todd could have made a difference, but some people don’t want to change I guess, I was a fan from the start that, talking to Doc Todd was like someone that I knew my whole life, not someone that answered a crazy message from a woman on FB. He touched my heart because I could feel how much heart he had, talking to him, then listening to his music really showed his heart and soul. My condolences to his Wife, Daughters, Parents, Family, Friends, and All of the Veterans that he touched, because I know he did. Keep sharing his music!

I did not know Mik personally, but I had the privilege of hearing about him this morning on the radio.  I wish I could have known him.  To Abby, all of my love to you and your daughters.  I will share your husband's music, and my thoughts will be with you.  Thank you for sharing him with the world.

I met Mik when my son Jason lived next door.  He was exuberant and so friendly!!  Had to love him immediately.  Abby, girls, family and friends I am so sorry.  We need more like Mik in this world.

I attended the service via live stream, it was a beautiful celebration. I really wish I could have been there in person. My heart felt condolences go out to Abby, Savannah, Audrey, Becky, Mike, Emily, and Logan. Mik was an incredible human with a huge heart. He will be greatly missed by so many. I will
continue to listen to his music and share it. I’ll
be praying for you all. 

Love,

I was so heartbroken to hear of Mik's passing.....I was only around him a few times and felt what everyone has said of him...he was special, magnetic, talented...great person, friend, father, husband, brother & son.  So wish I could be there today as he is laid to rest.  My love, hugs & prayers to his family who loves him beyond measure.

My brother is gone  and I can't get him back.  Wish he would have taken me instead of him. I would  take his place so Abby and the world  could have him back. He was a hero and guardian angel to me. Semper Fi Doc!! S.Y.O.T.O.S.

I am so sorry for your loss. I delivered mail to the Todd family for 20 years. I feel like I am part of the family in a way. 
Prayers for all. 

Doc, is My Brother from another Mother! I Miss U, Only God Knows how deep our Bond went. We were more than family, I can Still hear you Laughing at the outrageous times we Had!!! We planned an executed Concerts, Albums, Songs, and Podcast! You were always an example of  tenacity, There is so Much work For God we had left to Do  together Bro!... just Know it ain't over! I love you and the Family Bro!  #NeverGettemBack

Today is the day I head to say my goodbyes to one of the most outstanding man I ever knew. Mik Todd was truly someone special whose soul could save a thousand lives and actually did. Anybody that was blessed enough to know Mik knew that he was one of the most genuine people who cared more than most and never backed down from a challenge I was lucky enough to know him most of my life growing up neighbors to his parents and being close to age with Mike and Becky’s younger kids meant I was destined to be Logan’s best friend and also Emily’s. Mik being 10 years older he was always there but doing older kid stuff but he always made time to hang with Logan and his friends.  His love for music and sports always stood out the most, but when 9/11 hit and our country went to war Mik decided he wanted to volunteer and his courage and his drive drove him to be one of the best medics anybody has ever seen most people run away from bullets but Mik he was running straight into them doing everything he can to save his War brothers. This week has been a lot of different emotions listening to your music has gotten me through it and knowing that you have two beautiful daughters and a wonderful family and people who love you and will always share your music and passion with the world helps me cope with the loss of such a dear friend. I love you Doc Todd. Rest easy my brother🙏🙏

I will never forget you and the collaboration you did with my son Seiyah on my 40th birthday; May 12, 2020. We were so collectively moved by God and new it was a God thing. You left here three years later on the same day. 

May your legacy live on and what you stood for an unapologetically lived for be carried out in all the lives you touched. My soul is grieved and honored to have met you. Man of God live on, we will miss you on this side.

Dear Todd Family, 
I am so sorry for your loss.
I wanted to honor Mik and I thought this was a good way to do just that. I have made a donation to The Gary Sinise Foundation Relief and Resiliency Program in honor of him.
You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
With much love,
Cassaundra Strong

My condolences to the family of Mik Todd. I worked with Mik at Piedmont.  What an awesome individual,  always so funny and full of light.  
You will never be forgotten .

My business partner and I have had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful man and his family for so many years.......music, marriage, family.......we were there for it all.  Mik was such an energy.......he filled the studio, or really any room he entered, with joy and hope.  He was so so good to us.  Our hearts are broken........RIP

I met Mik the year Savanna started kindergarten and was fortunate to interact with Abby almost daily. Seeing Mik occasionally on the front porch watching and waving as his baby girl arrived home from school, instinctively showed me his character. We got to share some laughs, observations and cocktails at a yard party last September and that’s where I was engaged with his infectious personality. From that interaction I can say that Mik has left hundreds of loving souls in his wake and the world a better place. My heart felt sympathy and hope for your strength of  memory and love in the coming days.

My sincerest condolences to the Todd family;
You should know his ‘Combat Medicine’ helped me more than words can say many of times ;IGY6
Semper Fi!


It's with a heavy heart that I send my condolences to Abigail , Audrey and Savannah. 
What I remember most... 
During all our family events Mik would be bigger than the room but he also made us feel included like we were a part of something special.  He was funny, extremely real and caring of others. I never had to call on Mik for help but he's one of those guys that you knew without a shadow of a doubt if you needed something he would be there. 
I loved his passion and devotion to not only his wife and family but to his veteran brothers and his music!
Mik prayed with his feet moving 🙏

Throughout his life I told Mik he was my knight in shining armor. Apparently he earned that title from a lot of other people as well. Mik was my  wonderfully special nephew, a hero that I deeply love & miss. 
     Love  & prayers,

To the Todd Family:  I met Michael thru his sweet sis Emily at a bar-b-cue.  His infectious smile touched all of us at the video.  We talked so much about how he touched our lives.  From all of us to all of you we are so sorry for the lost of Mike.  To know him was to love him immediately.  Your lost was our lost also.  You can rest assure that another angel was called home because he had done what he was called to do, and that was to touch so many lives for God, and he certainly did that. May God bless your family and comfort and give you peace in the midst of everything.      Love you all. The Walton Family

Your music helped me in ways medicine never could.

Like so many others, my heart is heavy with disbelief that such a great man is no longer here. I knew Mik as a young man, and reunited with  him as an when he helped me through a very rough time in my life. The world of veteran mental health has forever changed for the better for countless vets because of this self giving, god driven great man.  I will always never forget you Brother, and what you stood for. My deepest condolences to the family.

If I decide to write our stories,  thus platform will not be able to hold it all. The times we spent together from bootcamp and beyond.  Whenever I think about my brother, I remember his bright smile. He had one for everybody he met along the way. I cry and cry, knowing that I will never be able to see that smile again. But as I look back and remember the life that he had, I know he is smiling down at us with the brightest smile that he can give, knowing we remember him. 

Didn't know you very well but every time you were around it's was all love. Good genuine person with a big heart. Definitely gone too soon and my sincere condolences to the family.

Abby,
I'm so sorry for the loss of your husband. You, the girls and family will be in our prayers. Sending our love.🙏

Watching Mik growing up was an amazing ride. He and my son Patrick were always together. He would bring his guitar over and entertain my grandmother and great aunts, my parents and myself. Making up songs on the fly and always making us laugh. He was a good kid, good man and had a loving gentle soul. I will alway miss that twinkle in his eye and that big smile. When he laughed you could feel it in you soul. He was a wonderful friend to my son, a fantastic Godfather to my grand and a blessing to everyone he met. My love and prayers go out to his parents, his siblings and to Abby and the girls.
