On October 17, OTMJ lost a friend and a co-worker. James Todd Shelnutt passed away at the age of 61, and he will be sorely missed. James was a delivery driver for the paper covering Homewood and half of Mountain Brook and he was as kind as he was dependable.
A proud alumnus of Homewood High School, Todd graduated in 1983, and his pursuit of knowledge led him to UAB, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. Todd worked diligently as a delivery driver for The Birmingham News, O’Reilly Auto Parts and Over the Mountain Journal. In recent years, he found his true passion as a writer. His creativity flourished in the captivating trilogy Andy Brighton and the Dragons of Wyrme, delighting readers and showcasing his imaginative spirit.
Todd was known for his quick wit and the remarkable ability to make everyone feel welcome. We will miss him and our love and prayers go out to his family.
