Todd Leo Felix, age 42, of Manhattan, Kansas, died Tuesday morning, July 31, 2007, at the home of his parents in Manhattan, following an extended illness.
Born December 27, 1964, in Lancaster, California, he was the son of Leo L. and Patricia Ann (Palmer) Felix. Todd graduated from Coast Union High School in Cambria, California, in 1983. An athlete, he was all-CIF in baseball and football, San Luis Obispo County All-Star in football and Tri-County League MVP in baseball.
After his high school graduation, he earned an Associate in Science degree from Cuesta College in general studies, and then spent a year studying agricultural business management at Cal Poly. Todd then joined the U.S. Army and was called upon to serve in Operation Desert Storm with the Second Armored Division, which is part of “The Big Red One.”
Deciding to make the military his career, he re-enlisted and, in 1997, when his daughter was just one week old, his 125-member National Guard military police company (The 649th) was deployed to Germany, where they helped replace active-duty police sent to Bosnia under Operation Joint Endeavor.

Upon being deployed to Iraq in 2002, he became ill and was soon returned back to the States, where he would eventually be placed on the temporary disability retired list and eventually the permanent disability retired list in October of 2006.

Felix of Morro Bay, California, and Laura L.
