Todd Ray Wilson (May 5, 1969 - May 24, 1989) was an American Latter-day Saint missionary who was killed along with his companion, Jeffrey Brent Ball in La Paz, Bolivia by a guerrilla terrorist group calling itself Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Zárate Willca (or Zarate Willka Armed Forces of Liberation).
Todd was the seventh of ten children born to mine electrician Avril Gray Wilson and his wife Elaine Bunderson Wilson of Wellington, a small town about five miles southeast of Price, Utah. He had been an honor student at Carbon High School, and had begun attending the College of Eastern Utah, while working as the night manager at Wendy's Restaurant in Price. But in order to save more money for his mission, he dropped his classes and continued to work late at night. He had "looked forward to his mission above all else." He entered the Missionary Training Center in July 1988. At the time of his death, his brother Brad was preparing to depart for his mission.
