Richard Todd Reynolds

Richard Todd Reynolds was born to William and Vera Nadine Reynolds on November 3, 1966 in Norwalk, Connecticut. His parents named him after the legendary figure skater Richard (Dick) Button but everyone called him Todd and the name became synonymous with his life and skating career. His family moved to Spring, Texas and Todd started on his road to become a U.S. Olympian after much hard-work and dedication. Todd became a three-time US Figure Skating Gold Medalist in Figures, Free Style, and Pairs. He was one of a few single skaters of his era competitively to land a Triple Axel (and in combination). He went on to have his most success in Pair Skating with Karen Courtland. As a team, Courtland and Reynolds represented the United States at the 1994 Winter Olympics and World Championships. They also won the Gold Medal in Olympic Sports Festival, and are two-time US Bronze Medalists in the US National Pairs Figure Skating Championships. Courtland and Reynolds also captured medals in the now Grand Prix Events - Skate America, Trophee Lalique (Paris, France), and medaled at the Pro-Am Championships. Todd met and married Angela Nolan in 2018, and was loved by all of her family. He passed away after a fatal heart attack and went to be His Lord and Saviour on October 15th, 2023. Todd lived a full life in his short 56 years, and will be missed dearly. He is survived by his wife, Angela and step daughter Katrina Hodges. Todd was known as a kind and considerate gentleman, and was loved by ice skaters worldwide. Angela has received hundreds of condolences from the Ice Skating World, which only shows the kind of personality that Todd had with his smiling blue eyes and happy to help demeanor.
