So, Todd was the sole person taking care of his mother. They have no other family. If you'd like to contribute to the GoFundMe for them, here's the link - gofund.me/706d05c9

Truly deeply sad. Todd Fulkerson was the type of special character you'd want to see and then be happy to see at shows or out and about. Super enthusiastic without being toxic, smile on his face, and something of a talent whisperer to help make any signing better (there's stories of photo ops at events where Todd would always be first in line and if the talent had sunglasses on, knew just how to persuade them to take them off for the remainder of the photos.) We had fun with Todd, and Todd was in on it laughing *with* us. I think that's why that one Todd thread here was so endearing, it didn't come from a mean spirited place but rather reveling in the absurdity. Seeing the tributes today, even as a Todd fan and friend, I didn't realize quite the impact he's had on Convention and Nostalgia culture. Some pretty prominent retro media accounts have credited Todd for both welcoming them at events as well as inspiring them to seek out and share these fun rarities that warm the core of our fandom and remind us why we're fans and why it's a community. RIP Todd. To any of his family that ever comes across that thread or this one, my condolences. All i know is that the time Todd did spend on this earth, he lived it fulfilling his wishes and desires. Let's all be honest, while that thread was started in jest, many of us were jealous of the things he got to do with his life. RIP Todd

Sad to hear. Far to young. Getting to hug Sunny is still something I wish I could do as she was one of my first crushes. RIP.

Genuinely sad news. The Todd thread was the one that made me become an active poster on here. I laughed at it, enjoyed it, but heard a lot of good stories about Todd as a human that made me think he was alright.
He’s gone far too young. RIP, sir.

Truly saddened to hear this. I was a participant in the Todd thread but never with any form of malice and entirely with fondness. I used to visit his youtube channel and always loved that he lived his life to the fullest in doing what he loved most; wrestling and autographs.
My condolences to his mother in what is probably the heardest time of her life and to all his friends and fans.

One story I have involving him. I was watching Championship wrestling from Hollywood on KDOC and Stu Stone had a line in a promo, "You'll be at the Holiday Inn in Pacoima standing in line to get an autograph from Sean Astin and Todd Fulkerson." Didn't know Todd's last name but I thought the name sounded familiar so I went online and googled it and up came Todd's twitter. I clicked on it and about a minute earlier he posted about Stu Stone name dropping him. Felt good to know that Todd and I were up at 1:00 a.m. Saturday night/Sunday morning watching wrestling.

Todd loved his porn. I remember he got in hot water on Star Archive because he posted a picture of Mary Carey on his lap where she was nude but the parts had a emoji star over them. LOL. He was banned for a while.
He went to some porn convention around 2005-6 and sent me back like 20 signed 8x10s of porn actresses, all nude and with dirty inscriptions. I didn't even ask him to, he just did it. Wasn't really into that stuff but that's Todd. He shares his love.
Todd was the kind of guy who should have been on the inside looking out at the other fans. He should be the one at the gimmick table or celebrity table getting 8x10s ready for fans, should be the one doing the podcasts with the stars but Todd's life was based on being a fan. I feel a bit like Red at the end of Shawshank Redemption thinking about him but unlike the movie I know I will never get to speak with Todd again and it's sad. I could go on for days about Todd.
I'm glad Todd got that Sunny photo. She wasn't 1995 Sunny but she was clean, sober and healthy when she did the bed photo ops and Todd got the most out of it.

Todd was an entertaining guy. I laughed at the promo he did with Scott Steiner in 2012 where even Scott was confused at what Todd said. RIP. "You got STDs?"

It's a shame that he passed away at a young age. He got the most out of the time he had here on earth. He always seemed to be having a good time no matter where he went and seemed like a good guy. RIP

Ohh Man. I was just watching the YouTube videos Su Yung / Susie / Susan made for him the other day for his birthday last year.
He seemed really generous and enjoyed being a super fan without trying to upstage the talent.
We had a few laughs all in good fun but I was a bit envious. Dude lived a hell of a life.

Honestly one of the least ashamed wrestling fans I have ever seen
While I would never do most of what he spent his time doing I think we could all learn a thing or two from his attitude to life, frankly
I wish anything ever made me as happy as he was in a photo with any wrestler

Don't know who this guy is, but got me thinking whatever happened to that old Hulk Hogan superfan who used to show up to many PPVs, sit in the first row, and dress up exactly like Hulk Hogan
