Dear Hayner Family,
I just found out about Todd's passing via a Facebook post. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I hadn't spoken to him since the late 80's, but am so saddened to hear this news. He was hysterical, and I thought the world of him.

I am deeply sorry to hear about Todd's passing. I haven't seen him in quite a long time but I think about him all the time. He had a big impact on my life and I always think of him fondly. I am quite regretful that we hadn't connected recently. I was actually poking around recently trying to find him.... This comes as quite a shock.

To his wife and kids... Nothing I can say will ease the sting of this loss, but I wanted to share with you that the times I spent with him when we were younger were extraordinary days. He was a great friend to me and to many others. He was especially kind to my little brother Jeffrey who passed away when he was only 18 after a 4 year battle with cancer... We all spent a lot of amazing times in together in Gainesville, at the beach - and surfing...

Words can never express the sadness in our hearts for the loss of Todd. e were at your wedding and always believed it would be a storybook marriage. Todd busting a gut when Eddie flamed out drinking sambuca. The list goes on. Danny and Todd at Sebastian. Bonnie and Todd first trip to Homosassa when we had the Proline. Love you Danny and Maxine

Dear Karen, Kelly, Bonnie and children,

Wow, I am so sorry to hear of Todd's death. I always liked Todd and thought he was a great young man. I have such fond memories of your family and how they shaped me growing up in FBC Gainesville as a high schooler and then a college student. The youth mission trips to Hindman, KY, and having Jerry open up the college Sunday School classes are a highlight of my life!
