Todd Miyo Thomas, lovingly known as MT, was born on September 29, 1961, in Clovis, New Mexico. On July 2, 2025, God called him home in Portland, Oregon.
Miyo spent his early years in San Diego, California, where he attended Logan Elementary School and Memorial Jr. High. He later built a life in Portland, working in landscaping, a profession that reflected his care for beauty and detail.
