William Fetters Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 27, 2022.

William Todd Fetters, born September 10, 1965 to Ann Gray (Lumpkin) and William Leslie (Bill) Fetters, went to be with the Lord on December 22, 2022.
Todd's life was taken, in an untimely accident, in North Carolina, where he had worked for several years.


Todd gave his life to the Lord at an early age. He was a strong, strikingly handsome man, born during Hurricane Betsy in 1965. He would have been named Betsy if he had been a girl, was the story his parents always told.


He was a child full of energy and adventure! Growing up in the time of “Evel Knievel” he was always riding his bicycle or mini bike, jumping anything he could, which he perfected over time. He taught his sons and nephew the art of popping wheelies! Todd could fix anything mechanical and always had projects going on, also sharing this knowledge with his family. The love of fishing and being on the river and bayou started at an early age, with his grandfather Ervil and sisters. Fishing trips that would teach him to use anything from a cane pole to commercial nets. Going to the river with his Uncle Gene and cousin Kirk was a great time, until the loss of his cousin in 1983 when the river took Kirk too soon. A loss he carried deep in his heart forever.


Todd is survived by his children: Emily Ann Fetters, Lucas Todd Fetters, Colton Perry Fetters and Bailey Robinson Fetters, grandchildren: Willow Ann Wiggins, Gemma Grace Wiggins, Avy La-Dawn Russell and Rianna Jean Covington. As well as, sisters, Leslie Ann (Jack) Breit and Virginia Lynn (Butch) Calhoun, brother: Derrik Duncan Fetters and many nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his parents: William Leslie (Bill) and Ann Gray Fetters, grandparents: Ervil Lesley and Juanita Fetters and Paul Graydon (Chigger) and Sarah Grace Lumpkin.
Todd loved his family, children and grandchildren and loved the time and memories spent with them. Hold tight to all your memories and the good times shared with Todd: a friend, father and grandfather. He loved you all dearly.


A memorial will be held at a later time on White River Bayou.

Not a day goes by that I don’t feel your presence and hear your voice saying Son be careful or call me more often and sadly it was because you worried so much about me. I hate that was our relationship in the end and I was in prison and not working by your side like I was, but in the end we still had a relationship and I’m thankful for the man you was to me and I miss you dad.
