Cody
I was looking at some photos of my AYL teams and there you were. What a pleasure it was to be part of your childhood and to have you as a key member of some outstanding baseball and football teams. Jesse and I talk about those days and think of you often. A long time has passed and this message is overdue so wanted to say thank you for some really great memories in our lives. We will see you on the other side.

Well Cody, today you would have had your 40th birthday. So many years have gone by without you here with us, but always in our loving thoughts. Love and miss you every day, Happy Birthday!

I guess it is ironic, that the last person to write in your guest book is Daina and that she is now with you in heaven. We love you both and want you to take care of each other until we meet again.
We miss you so much!
Love, Papa & Sandra

Dear Cody

Just another day in June, but one that I am sure that we had fun together going to a baseball tournament or doing something else fun together. I told you that we had a new puppy, but you never got to see him---You know we named him "Husker" and the first words out of your mouth when I told you about him, was--"I hope you have a dog that's worth a s--- this time"! Cody, he is so cool, even you would think he was wonderful--and he really is! Thinking of you and loving you. always!



Love you Bud!

Hey Buddy,

I'm just sitting here reading all of the blessings and thoughts that are being sent your way. Can you please watch over Jordan, he's definately at that age (just turned 15), you know...We still have the paint gun you and Jordan bought, however, it's mine now. In fact, it was kind of wonderful but scared me, it fell out of my closet shelf today, I said to myself, "This is a sign, Cody's here".

I Love You Bud!

Missing You,

Dee Dee

Hey Buddy,

We miss you so very much. If you can find a way to touch your mom's heart so she knows you're o.k. that would be so comforting to her. Tomorrow is your trial and we hope and pray that you and our family will receive justice. Never does a minute in a day go by without you on my mind. I Love You so much and know that someday we will all be together with you. God had a plan for you and someday we will know.

Missing You. Love, Dee Dee

Dear Cody, today you would have been twenty one years old. We have thought about you not only today, but almost every minute of every day since your passing. We miss you so much. Last year we celebrated your 20th birhtday together at the Claim Jumper Restaurant and laughed, hugged and kissed each other. What a wonderful time we had. No matter how big or old you were, you called me Papa and you always hugged and kissed me without being shy or ashamed because you were a boy. I will always miss those times together--I loved you so much! Happy Birthday Buddy, wherever you are.

I dont even know where to start. I knew Cody for 15 yrs, he always knew how to make everyone smile and laugh. He was always there with a hug when I needed it and kept me sane when I would let the meaningless things in life get me down. He always reminded me that everything would turn out ok. He was great friend. He never let anyone tell him he wasn't the smartest, best looking, funniest guy around, he was always true to himself not matter what. I always admired him for that. I miss him every day especially his smile. I'm lucky to have known him and I'm grateful for the memories we shared. Kellie, Cliff, Sarah, and Kaley, Connie, his grandparents, and godparents, I admire you all for your strength, you've been incredible.

I remember when I was a freshman in college and I felt terribly alone you were the one person that I could always talk to and would always make me laugh you made me feel like I was a worthwhile person with your compliments and your friendship I am sorry I didnt get to say goodbye. Love Tori

Cody,



You were always a great guy and friend. I will never forget maturing together from elementary to high school. From throwing eggs at cars traveling on Orchard Road to fists fights at baseball practice, we caused a lot of trouble together and enjoyed many laughs. This will soon continue. My prayers are with you and your family. God bless.

Dear Cody

I went X-mas shopping today and out of the blue, something happened that reminded me of a long time ago.

There on the shelf were these CD's of X-mas videos.One of which was How the Grinch stole Christmas. When you were a little boy, I video taped "How The Grinch Stole X-mas" I named it Cody's Christmas. It was Your favorite thing to do and you spent hours watching it over and over again. Of course it brought back memories of you that will always be there.I love you Buddy!

Dear Faust Family: We are so saddened to hear of Cody's passing; we just received word today (12/2/02). What a loss...Cody was such a competitor, such a fine young man. We are devastated -- one of the "boys" that our Steve played baseball and football with at Cherry Creek -- gone so soon! Please accept our sincere sympathy and prayers for your healing at this time.

I remember the first time I meet Cody we had math class together we were always late. This was just the begging of our friendship we liked the same things so we clicked very well. We stayed friends even after high school because we both attented Metro. I remember Cody as a man who always made me smile, the last time I saw Cody was at school I was going through a tuff time and Cody made me smile he made my day so much better by just being Cody he was a good guy with a big heart. I know that everyone felt this way that is why so many of us are feeling the pain of not having Cody around to make us smile. I will always remember you. To Cody's family I never meet you but I can tell he really loved you guys I always remember him talking about you guys.

November 22, 2002, my Grandson Cody left us to be in a better place in heaven with other loved ones who preceded Cody in death. On November 30, 2002, we said our final goodbyes to Cody at a memorial in his honor.

My memories of Cody are to many to list here and to many to write down on a small card. I was there when he came into this world and I was there up to the time he left it. Cody and I had a special love and respect for each other and he was always there for me and I tried to always be there for him. From the beginning Cody was a very caring, loving grandson, one who showed strength of courage and leadership even as a small child. Cody was always at my house, almost on a daily basis, and we took many trips together from Hawaii to his baseball tourneys as he was growing up, to Nebraska football games, to many snowmobile trips, and much, much more. For you see, I loved Cody Matthew Faust with all of my being and with his passing, a piece of me died also. Cody will be dearly missed, but he will always stay near to me in my heart.

I want Cliff, Kellie, Sara and Kailee to know that my heart goes out to them and I wish that their pain, that we all share, will lessen as each day goes by and we will only have wonderful memories of Cody to share and talk about. God Bless and Love all of you!

Papa

I remember the memories through high school, playing baseball and football together. I remember being behind the plate and catching him during the early years of high school. The last that I saw him was last month at the Metro/Mesa Rugby game in Denver. My condolences go out to his family, relatives, and friends in this tragic event. God Bless!
