Todd David Bragin

February 18, 1975 – August 17, 2026

Todd David Bragin, 51, of Orange Park, Florida, passed away on August 17, 2026. Born in Jacksonville, Florida, on February 18, 1975, Todd grew up in Orange Park and spent his life surrounded by the people, places, and simple things he loved most.

Todd was a man who found joy in the outdoors, especially with a fishing rod in his hand. He loved both bass fishing and saltwater fishing and could spend hours on the water with family and friends. He fished in places throughout Northeast Florida, including Huguenot Park, the St. Johns River, and around St. Augustine. Truthfully, Todd would probably have fished in a mud puddle if there were fish in it.

He also loved cars, particularly the old-school kind. Todd was never a fan of all the technology in newer vehicles and much preferred to figure things out himself. If something needed fixing, he would almost always rather repair it himself than pay someone else to do it—even if his way took weeks longer.

Todd and his wife, Kym, spent much of their time together at home. Todd became the unofficial “pool boy,” taking care of Kym and her friends when they gathered by the pool—grilling, bringing out ice for drinks, and making sure everyone was taken care of. Todd’s love language was acts of service. He might not have always been a man of many words, but he showed his love by fixing things, helping, and taking care of the people around him.

Todd was a patient and loving dad to Nathan and Kylie. Their relationship was filled with joking, silliness, and the kind of craziness that made being together fun. His children knew they could always come to him when they had a problem. He especially loved helping them with their cars, and he was always willing to put his own projects aside to make sure they were safe on the road. He was also a loving stepfather to Kyle Durbin, Kym’s son. Todd was always there with advice and practical help.

Todd’s brother Corey shared his love of fishing and working on things together. They could work side by side and delightfully debate their respective positions with great confidence.

Todd’s family at home also included his three beloved golden doodles: Ruckus, Rory, and Pipsy. All three were deeply loved, but Ruckus was Todd’s heart. The two were inseparable.

Todd worked as a licensed welder at USNR in Jacksonville. His job was simply one part of his life; his real priorities were his family, his friends, his dogs, the outdoors, and the people he loved.

Todd was also wonderfully uncomplicated. His idea of dressing up was a T-shirt and shorts. Period. He appreciated old-school cars, fishing, the beach, boats, good friends, and time spent with family. Looking through his family photographs tells much of the story: there he was, again and again, fishing or at the beach with the people he loved.

Todd will be remembered for his patience, loyalty, humor, generosity, and willingness to help. He lived for his family and friends, and his love was often expressed not in grand words, but in the things he did. He showed up. He fixed things. He gave advice. He made people laugh. And he made memories.

Todd is survived by his wife of 11 years, Kym Bragin; his children, Nathan Bragin and Kylie Bragin; his stepson, Kyle Durbin; his brother, Corey Bragin; his mother, Nancy Bragin; and many extended family members and friends who loved him dearly. He was preceded in death by his father, David Bragin; his paternal grandparents, George and Margaret Bragin; and his maternal grandparents, Francis Bragin Corners and Virginia Corners.

For Todd, there will always be another fishing spot, another story, another joke, another meme, and another reason to laugh. His memory will live on in the people he loved, the lives he touched, and the countless stories that begin with, “That is so Todd.”
