"Our son Todd was a force of joy, life, creativity and giving from the moment he was born," Ronnie Milsap said, according to the newspaper. “He made such a mark on our world in his years on this planet, everyone who met him was richer for it. It is too soon to even understand this loss, and I hope it's something no one has to bear. Please keep his three children, their mothers and Joyce and I in your prayers at such a fragile time."
