“We are saddened by the passing of Tony Todd our Focus comic goodwill ambassador.
A great light has left this world and the world will never be the same. He was an amazing actor, father and Christian. He was one of very few people who actually truly cared about the lives of autistic individuals because he spent his entire life caring for his autistic brother, taking him to work and even film auditions. He spent time mentoring our autistic interns and students and promoting autism acceptance at our community outreach events and panels. Tony was the most genuine person you can ever meet, always making time for others and showing interest to make everyone feel respected, heard and loved. He was my friend and my brother in Christ. I feel blessed to have had the privilege of being his friend and promoting autism acceptance for almost a decade. Time flies. I’m still processing the loss. Tony was a legend. Rest in peace Tony.” Yvonne Wan. Focus comic creator.
