Survivors include his wife of 50 years, Willie Frances "Billie" Todd; daughters, Sharon Todd and Felicia (Robert) Todd-Jones; daughter-in-law, Pastor Bridgette Todd; sisters, Pamela Todd and Dorothy Gamble-Matthews; stepsisters, Sandra Perkins, Mattie Dennis, Elizabeth Dock; stepbrother, James Perkins; grandchildren, Shannon Beard, Joshua Grays, Edward Todd III, Gregory Todd, JR., and Michael Todd; great grandchildren, Shalanee Triplett, Jordan Grays, Jaylon Grays, and Anya Todd; ex wife, Verna Todd-Bramlett; a host of nieces and nephews.
