Todd Lavar Drayton was born September 6, 1987, in Columbia, South Carolina, the beloved son of the late Leonardo Anderson and Brenda Diane Drayton Anderson. He departed this life on Monday, April 6, 2026, in Columbia, South Carolina.
Todd was educated in the public schools of Richland County where he graduated from Eau Claire High School.
He was a loving and devoted son, grandson, brother, cousin and friend who had a caring heart, a sweet spirit, and was always willing to help and uplift others whenever he could.
Todd will be greatly missed by all those who loved and knew him.
Those left to cherish Todd’s warm and precious memories are his loving sisters, Dana Drayton of Fort Lauderdale, FL, Tanya M. (Anthony) Anderson, Kayla Anderson, both of Columbia, SC, and Tiffany Anderson of Charlotte, NC; caring step sister, April Anderson of Fort Mill, SC; adoring nephews, Joshua Drayton, Jaheim Drayton and Hasan Anderson; loving nieces, Lamekia Drayton, Zikira Anderson, and Ky’Mya Anderson; great nephew, Ajion Benefield; great niece, Clarity Guerrier of Fort Lauderdale, FL; his cousin who was like a brother, Justin Parker; and a host of other loving relatives and dear friends, all of whom join the family in sharing the grief caused by sudden departure, but rejoice in his homegoing.
Gone from our presence, but never from our hearts . . .
