A proud graduate of Bolivar Central High School’s Class of 2007, JaTodd will be remembered for his joyful spirit, kind heart, and deep love of music.
From an early age, he developed a passion for melodies that became the soundtrack of his life. Whether listening to his favorite records, or sharing songs with friends and family, music was JaTodd’s greatest companion and a gift he shared freely with those around him. Those who knew JaTodd will remember the way his eyes lit up when a beloved song played, how he could always recommend the perfect tune for any moment, and the comfort and happiness he brought through music. For JaTodd, music was not just a hobby—it was a way of connecting with others and expressing love.
In 2021, JaTodd met Chiquita Perry. Their bond was built on faith, love, and devotion, and on July 27th, 2024, they united in holy matrimony.
JaTodd confessed Christ at an early age at Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist Church, where he began his Christian journey. In his latter years, he continued to grow in faith as a member of Jones Grove Missionary Baptist Church under the pastorage of Pastor Robert Poplar. His faith was a guiding light in his life and a source of strength to those who knew him.
