Mark Edward Cody

Sorry to hear of Mark's passing. We attended SLUH together, and had quite a few art classes together. He had a soft voice with a strong presence. So long ago,but it looks like Mark lived the artistic life he so loved even at that early age. His sculptural creations were admired by everyone at SLUH. Very talented young man.

I am truly heartsick about Cody. I hired Cody to run the gallery at the Mendocino Art Center (as an added benefit we also got the expertise of his friend Michele Ketterer). I was always impressed by his knowledge of art and art history, and his sensitivity for artists and the artistic process. I was struck by his gentle and caring demeanor, and by his wonderful, wry sense of humor. Something about Cody just always made me smile! I was always very aware of and touched by the obvious deep and...

Mark was one of the kindest and sweetest people I was ever blessed to know. Time spent with him could turn the most ordinary day into an adventure. He had so many gifts. One that I will always cherish is that he gave his complete attention to whoever he was with and made them feel special. Getting a letter from Mark was like opening a Christmas present, you didn't know what creative thing he was sending but you knew it would be wonderful. My thoughts and prayers to Ed, Marylou, Brian,...

I have known Michele and Cody from our time at the Mendocino Art Center. Cody always had a smile, a good heart and friendly personality. His talent for sculpture and knowledge of the arts led him to his job as gallery manager. I'm grateful to have known both Michele and Cody and I will miss his contributions and his presence.

When I think of Cody, many wonderful memories come to mind: driving up the mountains in Colorado to visit the Stanley Hotel, walking through the streets in Santa Fe, visiting churches and admiring the way the light shines through the window, enjoying Mexican food at Maria's... I could continue with lots of more stories and images but the most important thing is that Cody was a kind and loving person, an animal lover and a very talented artist. He inspired me to believe in my talents as a...

Mark was an adventurous and curious soul. I will fondly remember discussing strange and esoteric topics with him, and enjoying the company of his warm personality. Mark had tremendous love for my mother, Michele. He will be missed.

We met Michele and Cody in beautiful Santa Fe New Mexico, the land of enchantment. their love and devotion for each other was indeed as enchanting and beautiful as the New Mexican skies an sunsets. Our Love goes out to both of you.

I remember Mark from Ste. Genevieve. He was the cutest boy In eighth grade and the object of many girl's crushes. I am sorry he passed away so young.
