Todric McGee

June 13, 2003 – April 19, 2025

Todric McGee, age 21, of Springfield, Missouri, passed away on April 19, 2025. Born in Wichita, Kansas, Todric was a bright light in every room, a fierce competitor on the field, and a gentle soul to those who knew and loved him.

A proud student-athlete at Missouri State University, Todric was set to graduate in December with a bachelor's degree in psychology and a minor in Exercise Science. Football was more than a sport to him—it was his passion, his drive, and a central part of his life. Off the field, Todric expressed himself through music, which served as a window to his heart. He had a way of connecting with everyone, but it was the children who always found their way to him—drawn in by his warm, playful energy and kind spirit.

Todric's joy could be seen in the simple things—especially his love for candy, with Sour Patch Kids being his signature treat. That sweet and sour balance was Todric in a nutshell: fun, bold, and unforgettable.

He is survived by his loving mother, Stephanie Pope; father, Amiel McGee; and his sisters, Tahlia Pope & Kyeleah McGee. Aunt Lisa Henderson & Great Grandmother Ida Mae Edwards and hosts of cousins, aunts and uncles.

He was preceded. in death by his Grandmothers Cheryl Pope and Vickie McDaniel. His memory will live on in the hearts of his family, teammates, friends, and all those fortunate enough to experience his presence.

A Rosary will be held on Wednesday, May 7th at 7:30 PM at Holy Savior Catholic Church. Funeral services will follow on Thursday, May 8th at 11:00 AM at Chapel Hill United Methodist Church.

The family asks that flowers, or donations be made to Jackson Mortuary to send him a home-going that lives up to Todric's memory—continuing his legacy of passion, care, and impact.
