Sorry to hear about Kristen bishop I didn't know how to get in touch with her or I would have notified her we tried to get in touch with her several times before he passed away !

thank u brandy for that although in not the mother of his little girl but we have been together for a long time but if u would like to call that would be great

@ Melanie- My name is Brandy, I am Knoxx's wife. We both knew Todd from the Hamilton Inn located in Chattanooga, TN. My husband and Todd became really good friends then Todd moved and of course we moved and all of us lost touch. I am so sorry for your loss. As for the blaming and arguing, you should not have to prove or defend yourself or Todd. The arguing only dampens his memory instead of glorifying the time that you all shared. Hold him deep in your heart and let that little girl of yours know the love that was shared between you. First loves don't matter hun, what matters is the love that last! If you truly love him and are content with yourself, then there is no need to prove that to others. Protect your daughter from the wrath of people that are heartless and do not play their game. Do not allow someone to corrupt her knowledge and memories of her father.If you guys argued, so what! Who doesn't argue? Who doesn't make mistakes? No matter what you would have done if the good LORD wanted him he would take him! That is where he is now and he would not want to watch you suffer and hurt over words from a stranger that sound so degrading and hurtful. Do not let this get you down. Remember him, love him, and share him. Be sure to keep his memory alive with your daughter. Focus your love for him to your daughter. We wish you the best and again we are so sorry for your loss! R.I.P. TODD!

the only reason I put my number on here is so Knox can get intouch and pay his or her respect and I would love that if they were good friends Todd would want that thank u and if u don't like what's on this post don't be on here and don't read what I got to say thank u

These posters must think that they are tweeting cause it doesn't take a lot of brain power to know you don't give out your phone number on a public comment board.

this is the same person u r thinking of u can give me a call for info at 7062630874 my name is melanie

I am so sorry but yes this is the same Todd u are thinking about if u want info about him let me know 7062630874 my name is Melanie

Today is your birthday and i still miss you like crazy baby. I can't wait untill i get to see your wonderful smile and hear your goofy laugh of yours I love you Gregory Todd Choate

Janet I am so sorry about your son. I couldnt beleive this when i heard it. It seems like just yesterday when you lived at the a frames and we hung out with josh miller and rode the bus to school. Just be strong I have suffered great a great loss myself my kids father was hit by a train on his way to work in 07 just before christmas and he was laid to rest at heaven of rest. I know Todds birthday is coming up real soon and this holiday season will be real sad my prayers are with his kid and anyone else that knew him may God bless you and keep you strong.

It is what it is.

For the person who made the comment about Calhoun making dreams turn into nightmares, please realize that it's not the lack of opportunity in Calhoun that is the problem. It is the lack of motivation of the majority of the people in Calhoun to educate themselves that is the problem.

To "Iseeretartds" (who seems to be the most inteligent of the posters up to this point), I guess you were right. You got your "rambling, incoherent, un-punctuated reply" that you were expecting!

This entire thread of posts is serving to make Calhoun look bad on the worldwide forum of the internet. It is showing what naive and uneducated people there truly is in this otherwise fine town. Kind of reminds me of that Jeff Foxworthy joke when he's talking about the people the news reporters choose to interview... "I SEEN IT ALL!!! IT WAS PANDELERIUM! I THOUGHT WE'D BE KILT, OR EVEN WORSE!" It's a shame that this kind of image is what is most notable out of this town.

Mel, please try to help us shed this reputation. Your last post had somewhere between 3-5 sentences with no punctuation or capitalization. This makes it very difficult to read and gives the impression that you are less intelligent than you are.

And finally, to everyone making threats.... Come on, that's just dumb.

(and if anyone has anything to say about it, you can call me at 706-629-DUMB).

thank you very much for not sayin something mean this time no one will ever understand what i feel i mean ive lost both my parents my gradfathr and my cousin 4 weeks ago and now the best thing that i ever had was taken from me just like that and the only reason i put my number up is if any one wants to know what really happened i was there

Okay, I lied..I did come back and read the follow-up posts (hey, I'm off today and to be honest, I'm bored!!) To Melanie(?): I did hear the rumor of a fight being involved in this wreck from someone at work before the story was even posted here...I didn't give it any credit then and I don't repeat gossip, but I know a lot of other people with nothing interesting to say about themselves will pass along any story (usually adding their own fabricated "facts") just because they crave a little attention. I'm sorry for your loss and I understand your feeling of needing to defend yourself, so lets just say this: Hi, my name is Melanie and I had a loving relationship with this person for seven years. I'm going to miss him terribly. I understand that some ugly rumors are circulating about the cause of his accident and they are just that...unfounded gossip and lies from people who have nothing better to do than make up stories. Please, out of respect for him, do not believe or repeat them...it also hurts my feeling to have to hear these lies.

BTW, it's not a good idea to be posting your phone number on a message board..it's just an open invitation for all the crazies to give you a call.

If any of you truly loved this person you would not be carrying on like this in a public forum. This kind of behavior is disgraceful and disrespectful. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

i am so very so this was not an arguement of who loved who first i am tryin to defend my own about people thinkin all this was my fault becasue it was not and i know it does not matter what any one thinks and i am sorry i even said anything becasue i know how much he loved me and i love him that all that matters

Well...I don't recall anyone asking you what you "think". That's some fine advice...to "grow up and get a life", you may just want to think about doing that!! In case you haven't noticed, this is a NEWS website...not exactly the proper forum to post an online argument over who loved who first. The story was about someone being killed in a single vehicle accident, it made no mention of their first love, a fight being involved, or of them being drunk. While it's sad that someone died, if they were indeed driving that intoxicated, it's extremely lucky that an innocent bystander was not killed along with them. Just for future reference, when you post an address or phone number online as a thinly veiled attempt at a threat, you FAIL...not only is it ineffective, it also shows poor judgment. While I'm almost positive that some rambling, incoherent, un-punctuated reply is sure to follow, please forgive the fact that I will neither read nor respond to it...I already feel somewhat dumber for having read the previous post. To the family of the person who died, I can only say I'm sorry for their loss and for the fact that these people choose to memorialize him in such poor fashion.

I think all yall need to shut the hell up all of yall need to grow up and get a life melanie love's todd to death she has been with him for 7 years and only todd and melanie knows the truth and if yall have anything to sayy bout it come to my house and tell me to my face 201 west dr nw calhoun ga
