In Memoriam

We take a moment to honor the memory of our esteemed members and colleagues who have passed away, leaving behind a legacy of dedication and compassion in the field of medicine. Their contributions have profoundly impacted countless lives, and their absence will be deeply felt within our community. As we reflect on their lives, let us remember the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson: "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die." We encourage all members to share their memories and tributes, celebrating the remarkable individuals who have shaped our society and inspired us all.

Todd S. Redding, MD Nov 26, 1964 - Jan 25, 2026

Todd Scott Redding passed away on January 25, 2026, from a sudden heart event at the age of 61.

He lived a vibrant life, leaving a legacy of love and kindness that continues to shape those who knew him.

Todd was born in Omaha, Nebraska on November 26th, 1964, and was adopted as a newborn to Paul and Nancy Redding. He and his older brother, Brad Redding, spent a few childhood years in Nebraska before the family moved to Wichita Falls, Texas when Todd was 4 years old. From a young age Todd excelled in school and was a gifted piano and trombone player. Growing up, he enjoyed animals, music, and cars- interests he carried into adulthood. Todd was accepted to Trinity University in San Antonio on an academic scholarship and graduated in He went on to earn his medical degree at UT Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, TX in 1991 and completed residency in Waco, TX. During his time in medical school, Todd met Elizabeth Haley and they were married 1989-2000. Their two children, Allison and Andrew Redding, remained central in Todd's life.

Todd started his practice in Bartlesville, OK and later moved to Tulsa in 2005. Todd's career path expanded when he became a board-certified addiction medicine physician in 2009. Todd devoted his professional career to enhancing the health of his patients in every walk of life. He strongly believed his work as a physician was a God-given purpose to serve and care for others. Todd has remained an active member in his professional community. He was the current President of the Oklahoma Society of Addiction Medicine and a member of American Society of Addiction Medicine.

Todd S. Redding, MD Member since 2021

In 2019, during a dark period for them both, Todd and Tim reintroduced joy and love into each other's lives. They were married in 2020. Tim said being with Todd felt like coming home to comfort and peace. Whether the world was glowing with light or falling apart, their love was steadfast and complete. Todd and Tim shared a love of travel, culture, and the performing arts. They frequently traveled to New York City, enjoyed Caribbean cruises, and held season tickets at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center. They were also both active choir members at College Hill Presbyterian Church. Todd also served as an elder at both College Hill and Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church. Service to his community, in and outside the church, has been an integral part of his life's work.

Family was one of the most important values in Todd's life. In 2015, Todd reconnected with his birth mother, Patricia Gober, and they maintained a close relationship until her death in 2019. He cherished quality time with family and friends and went out of his way to make even simple occasions special and meaningful. Todd defined his life by what he gave to others. He had a remarkable way of making people feel welcomed and accepted exactly as they were. His professional and personal pursuits were guided by selflessness, generosity, and quiet strength. Todd loved deeply, served humbly, and lived faithfully. His impact will continue to ripple through generations.

Todd is survived by his husband, Timothy Smith-Redding, his brother, Brad Redding (Bonnie) of La Grange, KY, his daughter, Allison Redding of Tyler, TX, his son, Andrew Redding (Caroline) of Chicago, IL, and his niece, Cierra Rohrbaugh (Connor) of Gunnison, CO.

NORTH TULSA: Neighbors talk healthcare at forum 2 NEWS OKLAHOMA | By: Brodie Myers TULSA, Okla. — Monday night, over food and fellowship, a group of “I just think we need a variety of services both for the elderly and North Tulsa neighbors discussed healthcare. children,” Reed said.

“Unfortunately, we know that just having a health insurance card, or access to care, will not fix the problem. So we have to look at it holistically,” Reggie Ivey, the executive director of the Northside Neighbors organization, said.

Ivey invited neighbors, along with a panel of medical pros, to take that holistic look. The problem he’s referencing is premature deaths from preventable causes like heart disease and diabetes.

How does North Tulsa accomplish its lofty goals? How can health in the neighborhood flourish? Dr. Pasha says the resources surrounding health care are key.

“Just getting folks together, amplifying the needs for those, I think, can be really helpful, and having healthcare workers attest to how those resources can impact health,” Pasha said.

Dr. Jabraan Pasha, the city’s Chief Health Officer, was a featured panelist. He said a TSET grant, worth more than $17 million, is set to play huge dividends in the neighborhood.

“It’s going to bring additional health-care services, pharmacy services, mental health services, but also community assets that we know will keep people healthy,” Pasha said.

2 News listened to Kimberly Reed, a lifelong North Tulsa neighbor.

“I think it’s great. I’m glad we’re getting the funding and getting recognized, and being able to provide the things that are needed here, cause there’s a lot of different things that are needed right here, where we don’t have to go out and find the places and find the doctors, things that we need,” Reed said.

Reed runs a daycare out of her home. She also takes care of her mom. Healthcare hits close to home, and she sees some gaps in her neighborhood.
