Todd Edward Davis was born on March 7, 1985, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma. He was the son of Edward Eugene "Eddie" Davis and Vicky C. Holeton Fisher. A graduate of Lee’s Summit North High School, he earned a scholarship to attend a junior college in St. Louis. Fully enrolled at the University of Oklahoma to study architecture, Davis ultimately made a last-minute decision to set those plans aside and enlist in the U.S. Army. He served as a Corporal and Cavalry Scout assigned to HHT, 3d Squadron, 2d Stryker Cavalry Regiment, based in Vilseck, Germany, and later deployed to Iraq.

On January 9, 2008, during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Cpl. Todd was killed in action while participating in a search operation in Sinsil, Diyala Province, approximately sixty miles north of Baghdad. He and his team entered a house that had been cleared of hazards two weeks earlier, unaware that insurgents had since returned and rigged the structure with explosives. A pressure-activated improvised explosive device detonated inside the building, killing Cpl. Todd along with five other soldiers. He is now buried in the Mount Moriah Cemetery, Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri, USA.
