“We had some good times over the years and I\u2019ll never forget how you would save me a seat at the brick house on Sundays even though I was often decked out in Broncos gear. You didn\u2019t care, you just wanted everyone there having a good time. You were the biggest sports fan I\u2019ve ever known and your memory will live on. I always used to tell people about how you would drop everything and help anyone who needed it at any time”. \u2013 Sarah Mae Johnson<\/p>\n

This is from a non-Patriots fan, but it aptly describes the big teddy bear that was Todd King.\u00a0 King (53) was a native of Dracut MA, the next town over.\u00a0 He was born in Lowell and attended Central Catholic HS in Lawrence.\u00a0 A son of Merrimack Valley.<\/p>\n

Todd passed away from a heart attack while vacationing in Myrtle Beach South Carolina.\u00a0 Todd moved to North Carolina for a business opportunity.\u00a0 While there he founded the New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> Fans of North Carolina fan group \u00a0That is how I met Todd.\u00a0 I was the coordinator of the Razors\u2019 Edge Tailgate group here at Gillette.<\/p>\n

For those who knew Todd, he was larger than life. \u00a0He was always there to lend a helping hand or advice to anyone in need. \u00a0He served as a \u201cbig brother\u201d to many of his friends. \u00a0 He truly would have given you the shirt off his back. \u00a0He was a survivor of the Station Nightclub fire in West Warwick, RI, and went on to be the co-founder and President of the Station Family Fund which helped raise millions of dollars for the fire victims and their families.<\/p>\n

Todd was a devoted Boston sports fan as reflected in his attire and tattoos. \u00a0 Todd also had a strong love of music and could often be found at a concert supporting his favorite bands. \u00a0He traveled near and far to see bands that he liked and was a frequent attendee of the Monsters of Rock Cruise as well as the M3 rock festival. \u00a0Todd made many friends doing the things he loved and he will be missed by many who he viewed as his extended family.<\/p>\n

This quote summarized Todd: \u201cEvery little thing is gonna be alright\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cPats Nation got one member weaker this weekend with the loss of one of the most vocal and passionate fans you\u2019d have ever met, Todd King. Todd, the man behind the Pats Fans of North Carolina years ago, was a larger-than-life personality who you couldn\u2019t miss if you tried at a game, tailgate, or rally. He loved his Boston sports, especially the Patriots, almost as much as he loved bringing people together over these teams. Had the pleasure of spending many game days with him, and hosting many events for him. Not a single one will ever be forgotten\u2026even with the way shots flowed and beer poured<\/p>\n

Generous, outrageous, endearing, lovable, dedicated, and joyful\u2026he\u2019ll be missed, but his mark is left on the parties he threw, the good times he reveled in, and the friends he made along the way. \u00a0\u00a0Love you, Pats pal. Rest in championships.\u201d \u2013 Fitzy<\/p>\n
