Richard Craig Todd, age 60, of Mammoth Spring, Arkansas, passed away on Friday, October 17, 2025, in Mammoth Spring, Arkansas. He was born on March 23, 1965, in Winter Park, Florida, to Herbert Wayne and Carol (Young) Todd.
Richard was the proud owner and operator of Nationwide Termite and Pest Control. Through hard work and dedication, he built lasting relationships with his customers and community, earning a reputation for honesty, dependability, and kindness.
In 2013, Richard married the love of his life, Wilisa Veith, in Geneva, Florida. He was a man of the Christian faith, who loved deeply and lived life to the fullest. A devoted husband and father, Richard’s family was the center of his world. He was known for his big heart—always willing to help anyone in need—and for his strength, humor, and adventurous spirit.
Richard was passionate about the outdoors and found joy in free diving, scuba diving, fishing, and hunting. His adventures took him across several continents, but his favorite moments were always those spent with family and friends, sharing laughter and making memories.
He is survived by his wife, Wilisa V. Todd of Mammoth Spring, Arkansas; his son, Hunter Todd; his stepson, Tyler Henthorn (Sophie); stepdaughters, Erin Henthorn and Dail Henthorn; and his beloved grandchildren, Colton Miceli and Jackson Bender. He is also survived by his brother, Mark Todd, along with many other relatives and friends who will cherish his memory.
Richard was preceded in death by his parents, Herbert and Carol Todd.
The family will hold a memorial service at a later date to celebrate Richard’s life.
