Tod Epperson Obituary
He was born on September 18, 1987 in Pacifica, California to Todd Edward Epperson and Lisa Ann Flynn. He and his older sister, Amanda N. Epperson, were raised in Groveland, California. Tod graduated from Tioga High School in 2006 and moved to San Francisco shortly after.
Tod was a passionate supporter of gay rights and a beloved member of San Francisco's community.

His spirit will forever remain alive in the hearts of those who love him.

Tod worked for me up until October 2006. It has always saddened me to hear of his passing. I was cleaning up some things on my computer today and came across his name again. I had to find this page to again tell all his family and friends how much I join you in celebrating his life and saddened by his passing. May God be with all who love him still.

Prayers go out to all Friends and Family. He is a friend of my sisters, even though I never got the chance to meet him, I heard amazing funny stories of him and his silly ways. I could always tell from pictures he had a smile that could light up a room!

My deepest of sympathies go out to the family and Tod's partner, Sid, during this darkest hour. Despite all, we just have to believe that he's in a better, peaceful place. He will be sorely missed but the best way to honor him now is to carry on with life as he would have wanted us to and remembering that he brought his light and love into our lives as best he knew how. We all loved him but God favored and loved him more. Tod, may your soul rest in peace for you are now in the safe and heavenly arms of a God who protects us all.

R.I.P. my sweet precious cousin. I never got the pleasure of meeting you but by what I have been reading about you, you sounded like a very sweet, kind and loving person who had an appetite for life. It goes to show people how very short life really is - I really wish I would of had a chance to have met you. May you be resting peacefully in the arms of God.
Love your cousin - Karen Huizar.
