David Todd Wooten, 56, of Lawrenceville, GA had his last sunset on September 28, 2021. Todd was born on November 5, 1964 to David Dallinger Wooten and Mary Frances (Harris) Wooten (preceded in death). He grew up in Rome, Georgia where he attended Elm Street Elementary, Johnson Elementary, and Model High School. Shortly before entering high school, Todd gave his life to Christ on April 30, 1978. He was baptized by Reverend Dewayne Walker, who was the presiding minister over Holsey Sinai, C.M.E. church. After graduating high school, he attended Floyd Junior College for a year, then transferred to the University of Georgia, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology. He then enrolled into the University of Law program at UGA where he received a Juris Doctorate degree. Upon graduating, he worked for the Georgia Capital Defender Office. He later began working for himself in Athens, Georgia as a defense attorney. His last services working as a defense attorney were for Gwinnett County Government, where he accepted court appointed cases.
One of Todd's most cherished and proudest moments came on August 27, 1999. On this day, he welcomed his daughter, Morgan Aleeya Wooten into the world. It would not be the last time he was overjoyed with his daughter. In May of this year, he once again beamed with joy and pride as she walked across the stage to receive her bachelor's degree from Augusta University.
