Jack Wright Todd

Jack W. Todd, CPA 1954 – 2025 The unforgettable Jack Todd left this planet reluctantly but peacefully on August 19, after a short yet debilitating battle with a respiratory disease. He was 71. Jack was a man of precision, kindness, generosity, and grit. A graduate of Leon High School and Florida State University, he built a life rooted in service—to his family, his CPA practice, clients, and his community. He was deeply particular, incredibly dependable, and always attuned to the needs of others, often before they even realized. Jack found joy in the smallest things and humor in just about everything. He lived with intention and delight, sharing laughter, his famous margaritas, freshly caught fried fish, and pimento cheese without restraint. A boat ride with Captain Jack—whether scalloping, fishing, tubing, or simply chasing the Gulf at sunset —was a gift he gave freely and often. He played near-champion status 8 and 9-ball pool at Zingales, a hobby he latched onto once his knees kept him off the tennis court. Family was his compass, his pride, and his purpose. He was a devoted father to his daughters Shannon and Sarah, and the steady current beneath his adventures was his love for his wife, Keller. Together, they traveled, laughed, and built a life full of meaning. To his family, Jack was the hub of their wheel—their hero, their constant. Professionally, Jack poured his heart into his work. For decades, he served his clients with care and integrity, always showing up and always giving his best. Alongside his longtime colleague and friend, Shannon Horning, Jack became a trusted advisor to countless local entrepreneurs—many of whom considered him family. At Marpan, his largest client and extended family for over 37 years, Jack’s devotion and meticulous care made him the quiet backbone of the company. He was always present, always generous, and always available in the best way. Jack is survived by his wife Deborah Keller; his daughters Shannon Todd and Sarah Axelrad; his sister Marianne Todd Graves (Lee); his brother Bill Todd; his nieces Jessica Graves and Kackie Carmody; and his mother-in-law Ruth Keller. He leaves behind a legacy of care, humor, and unwavering presence. Please help us remember the good times by submitting a story here. Then have a margarita, and make a toast to Jack’s love of life.
