William Akin Obituary
Akin, William "Todd"
The former Congressman went home peacefully on Sunday, October 3, 2021 following a long battle with cancer. His 24 years in public office were filled with the same faith, conviction, integrity, and humility that marked his private life. Respected by his peers on both sides of the aisle, Todd's unwavering devotion to God, family, and country will long be remembered by those who knew him. Above all, Todd lived his life to glorify his Lord and Savior, Jesus. Please send memories to [email protected].
Services: Twin Oaks Pres. Church, Ballwin. Visitation 8-10:30 a.m. Oct. 9. Service follows at 11 a.m.

To Lulli and family: My heart goes out to you, you are in my thoughts and prayers. May our Lord and Savior bring you comfort and peace as you remember your beloved "Papa" Todd with all those precious memories you have of him. And though he is absent from you for now, he will live in each of you in special ways. Though I didn't really know Todd, I get the sense from what I do know of him that we would have been good friends.
