Todd was born February 22, 1975 to William Charlie McMurtry and Sandra Kay Triplett McMurtry in Archer City, Texas.
He was a 1993 graduate of Rider High School where he played on the varsity tennis team. Todd loved his family and spending time with them. He had a deep love and respect for his grandfathers and could identify traits that he acquired from both of them. He also loved going to the Ranch, the McMurtry home place, where he enjoyed the open spaces that he and his dog, River, could roam.
Todd was a jack of all trades and could do anything that he set his mind to do; however, living life was the most important thing to him. His favorite pastime was riding motorcycles and he recently took a road trip with his father to Colorado where he could ride up and down the mountains and see the country. He also enjoyed reading and was highly intelligent.
Survivors include his father, Charlie McMurtry of Archer City; his mother, Sandy Triplett McMurtry of Jacksonville, Texas; his sister, Traci Rigby and husband, Trevor and their children, Seth and Kate of McKinney, Texas; his father’s fiancé, Brenda Goforth of Archer City and her daughters, Kari Goforth of Lawton, Oklahoma and Erica Goforth of Dallas, Texas; grandmother, June Triplett of McKinney; two uncles, Larry McMurtry and wife, Faye of Archer City, and Kenny Triplett and wife, Tammy of Gainesville, Texas; three aunts, Sue Deen and husband, Carlton of Archer City, Judy McLemore of Archer City and Lynn-Anne Triplett Longoria of McKinney; and several cousins.
Serving as pallbearers will be Chad Deen, Matt McLemore, Mitch McLemore, James McMurtry, Jeff Sweeney and Clayton Triplett.
