Kenneth, I don't know if you remember me or not. I am Toni's sister, Faye. I only found out about Cody last weekend. I am so sorry for loss. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose my child. I will pray that God will help you and your family find peace in this terrible time in your life. Faye Church

Cody was a special young man having a grandfather like Pete around sure had a loving influence on his way of life. I remember Cody's first deer with Pete at his side smiling from ear to ear and eager to tell the story afterward how proud he was that day. Cody will be missed at Bent Barrel Hunt Club along with others that we have had the great pleasure of knowing and hunting with. I feel sure there is a deer hunt in Heaven so Cody can hunt with Pete again. My sincere and deepest sympathy goes out to his family at this sad heart felt time.

I didn't know Cody personally but after reading his obit and the story surrounding his untimely passing it gives such truth to the saying "only the good dies young". I am the mother of two sons and my heart breaks for this entire family. May God give you the comfort you need at this most heartbreaking time.

Dear Tracey and Family,
There are no words that can express how heart broken I am to hear of your loss. I wish there was something I could say that would lessen the pain you are feeling right now. I would like to share this poem with you. It was read at my step son's services. After time we found some comfort in it.
"Do not stand at my grave and weep:
I am not there I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the mornings hush
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet
birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die."

Cody will always be protected by God's loving arms. I pray that God gives you the comfort and strenght you need to get though this difficult time. I know it won't be easy but keep the faith...God is always there for you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
With love always

Cousin Kenneth and Tracey,
The question is why? God has a plan for each one of us, but it is hard to understand why one is taken at such a young age. The Raiford prayers are with you and your family during this time of grief. I know that your strong belief and trust in the Lord will get you through this troubling time. God bless each of you.

After meeting Cody,as a young boy,through his late grandfather, "Pete", who was very near and dear to me. I've continued to get to know him better and better through the years. Probably spending more time with him this past year than any other year. I will miss him greatly, as will the rest of the members of Bent Barrel Hunt Club. My sincere and deepest sympathy goes out to his family.

I struggle to even put words together to console you. I was so sad to hear what happened.....This is Kelli, Joe and Nancy's grandaughter, Carol Jean's niece. I have known Cody and Kelly Ann since they were born. Cody was a funny kid and a joy to be around. I am getting ready to become a first time mother in May and I couldn't imagine how you may be feeling. Just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Family of Cody,
I am shocked and heartbroken for the great loss of Cody. I met him in Bent Barrel Hunt Club when he was a young boy. I always admired him and his love for deer hunting with us at the club. He loved to ride in my Dodge pickup truck. He always said "can I ride with you to our stands?" I taught him how to clean his first deer. I will miss him with all my heart. His memories will always be with me. May God be with your family thru this bad time. We will all be with him again someday. Cody will be greatly missed, our hunt will not be the same. God Bless You All.

I really didnt know Cody but i think i have meet him and seen him. From what i have heard he was a really nice young man, and loved the outdoors. I also heard that he loved riding 4-wheelers and dirt bikes and he was really good at it. I am so sorry for your lose, my family knows what its like been there almost 2 years ago. We lost someone at should a young age as well. Remember Cody will always be looking down over his family, friends, and loved ones. God Bless, be strong for each other.

Kenneth and Family. I heard of this tragedy through a mutual friend, Burnette Smith. He informs me that you are a brother firefighter. Serving your community in that capacity heightens your awareness and I am sure, your sense of loss. As brothers in the service we at the Lynchburg Fire Department and the Rustburg Volunteer Fire Department where Smitty serves, send you our very deepest condolences concerning the loss of your precious son. Though we can't be there for you know that we are there in spirit as you and your family go through this difficult time. Smitty asked that I especially tell you, Kenneth, that you are in his thoughts. God Bless.

Cody was a very nice boy. Always polite, nice, and well mannered at Bent Barrel Hunt Club. Everyone always heard from Cody "Where are we hunting at"? Cody and I would ride around while we were hunting. He made me laugh a ton. I remember him as a boy, ready to do anything for anyone. I will miss him forever and always.
Kenneth, Tracey, and family, let God give you the power to get through these hard times. Just remember Cody is in your hearts and is watching you, and remember you all will all see him again. God will give you the strength to get through the tragic times. If there is anything we can do please feel free to let us know. We will see Cody Again!
