Todd Allan Cummings

Todd Allan Cummings, born on December 29, 1960, to Bill and Carol (Lovingood) Cummings in Pampa, TX, went to sing with the angels in heaven on April 25, 2025.

Growing up, Todd was an Eagle Scout. He graduated from Pampa High School, moved to San Angelo to attend Angelo State University, and made his forever home here.

He worked in management in the car business, including Griffin Motors, Jim Bass Ford, Mustang Chevrolet, Reynolds and Reynolds, and Lithia. He met his “guardian angel,” as he called Carol, when she was an unhappy customer at the dealership. He quickly smoothed things over and she was smitten.

He married Carol on September 30, 1989, and they had 35 wonderful, loving years together.

His pride and joy were his children, Matthew and Katie. Todd was so proud of all of their accomplishments. He was thrilled to welcome Sydney and Will into the family, and when Rush arrived, it was love at first sight. He was a devoted husband, dad, PaPa, brother, and friend. Todd loved his family and friends. He had a great sense of humor and always made people laugh. He had many hobbies. He loved music and played in bands since he was a teenager. He played with the band Clearwater for over 20 years. He loved his band as his family. Todd enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, cooking, bike riding, clay shooting, and golfing.

Todd fought cancer for over 6 years. He never complained and was the strongest person we know. As a friend said, “Todd has had a rough time, but he has not given an inch.”

He is survived by his wife Carol Hennecke Cummings, his children Matt (wife Sydney) and Katie (husband Will), grandson Rush, his brothers Billy and Duffy (Anna) Cummings, sisters in law Shirley Marsh (husband Gene), Brenda Johnshon (husband Keith), nieces Jennifer Robinson (husband Cory), Jessica Harlin (husband Justin), April Johnson and nephews Gabe and Josh Cummings (wife Hiromi). He especially loved his “greats,” Paxton, Landree, Mickey Harlin and Landon and Emma Kate Robinson, and Haru Cummings. He was looking so forward to meeting his new grandbaby in August and he also leaves behind his loyal loves Bentley and Mazie. Todd is preceded in death by his parents, his father and mother-in-law Andrew and Laura Hennecke, and his sister-in-law, Pam Cummings.

Thank you, Dr. Raj Cheraku and Dr. Sarah Burkes, for their great care, Shannon Home Health, Makenna, Megan, Madolyn, and Keith, and Hospice of San Angelo and their team.

Todd, we know that you are resting in peace and doing all the things that you loved to do that became challenging towards the end. Our hearts are breaking to see you go but it’s not goodbye, it’s “‘till we see you again.” Go sing with the angels! You were loved by so many.

I hope more than anything that you are at peace, free of pain and in the most beautiful place. You deserve that and so much more.

I wish that I could hug you one more time... or see your smile….or hear your laugh.

I want to thank you for everything you’ve ever done for me, for every sacrifice you made, for every bit of knowledge you left me with, and for all of the unconditional love you always gave without question.

I hope you knew how much you meant to me. I hope you knew how grateful I was to have had you in my life.

I hope you knew how safe you made me feel.

You were my comfort, you were my rock.

You were my home, and I hope that you can somehow still feel my love.

I love you more than words can say. You were the best “better half” and such a blessing to our family. You fought so hard to have more time with us. You kept the faith and amazed us all. I am holding close the memories of all of the fun we had. I will love you forever and miss you always.

Love, C
