Cody Lawrence Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 17, 2019.

Cody Nelson Lawrence went to be with our Lord on February 15, 2019.  Cody was born April 17, 1991 in San Antonio, Texas to his parents Melody (Holland) and Donny Wayne Lawrence.  He graduated from Jourdanton High School in 2009 and attended Texas A&M Kingsville on a rodeo scholarship.  He was employed by his Family’s trailer and feed business, Brush Country Supply in Pleasanton, Texas, and he managed the hunting and cattle operations of the Family Ranch in McMullen, County.


Cody was a young man with a deep Christian faith and an endless love for his family and friends. His bright smile was as big as his heart, and his ability to give help, encouragement, and laughter to others (just when they needed it most) will be forever remembered.  His many years of rodeo sponsorships and accomplishments brought great joy, and he shared his long-time passions for land, cattle, horses, calf roping, hunting and dogs with everyone he met.  


Cody is survived by his family who loved and treasured him every day of his life,  his parents, his brothers, Donald (Dee) Wayne Lawrence of Jourdanton and Scott Wayne (Amanda) Lawrence of Robstown; girlfriend, Rozlyn Reeves of Pipe Creek; grandmothers, Goldie Alston Holland of George West, Barbara Moody Lawrence of Charlotte and Joyce Lawrence of Corpus Christi; aunts and uncles, Sherry Holland (Michael) Appell of George West, Bill (Lana) Holland  of George West, Debbie (Boyd) Grimshaw of Pleasanton, Nancy Lawrence (Mark) Kennerly and James (Elizabeth) Lawrence of Corpus Christi; cousins, Todd (Pam) Dougherty of Anna, Scott Dougherty of Fairfax, VA, Cuatro (Anna) Holland of Amarillo, Marlana (Nate) Mauer of George West, Kaitlyn (Josh) Verette of Pleasanton, Murray Grimshaw of Tilden, Christy Hindes (Clint) of Jourdanton and Ryan Kennerly of Helotes; nephew and niece, Tanner and Jane Lawrence of Robstown.  Cody will also be lovingly remembered by his many dear cousins and friends far and wide.


Cody is preceded in death by his brother, Ty Murray Lawrence and grandfathers, Robert Ruckman Holland of George West and Donald Edwards Lawrence of Corpus Christi, Texas. 
 


Visitation  to celebrate Cody's larger-than-life time on this Earth will be conducted at Cowboy Fellowship Church at 561 FM 3350 in Jourdanton on Friday, February 22, 2019 from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm.  Funeral service will at Cowboy Fellowship Church on Saturday, February 23, 2019 at 10:00 am, followed by interment at Hilltop Cemetery in Tilden.   




Pallbearers are Dee Lawrence, Scott Lawrence, Rob Bryan, Bryan Chapa, Murray Grimshaw, Caden Qualls, Rowdy Haferkamp, J.B. Gooding, Chase Wiley, Travis Poth, Max Ramsey, Chase Watt, Seth Sawyer, Tyler Holmes and John Merritt.  Honorary pallbearer is Gary O'Riley.

Our sweet, precious baby boy that we called our "Bonus Baby" since he was unexpected so quickly after Dee was born. Cody grew into a fine young man, cowboy, and rancher that so many people called Competitor, Businessman, Brother, Cousin, and Friend. We adored his smile, cherished his hugs, admired his heart, but most of all.....we are so Proud to call him Our Son and Know that he is in Heaven. We Miss you So Much, We Love You Dearly, Cody Lawrence, but we know without a doubt, "We Will See You on the Other Side...." Much Love, Mom (aka Momma, Mother, "Mother Dearest")

Cody will always be the honest, most dapperest of cowboys and friends that anyone could have had the privilege of being around growing up at rodeos. From pushing your calf, to cracking a joke at the right time, to simply just giving you his smile, his first and foremost priority was making sure that you were happy in his presence. Our deepest condolences go out to everyone mourning the loss of such an incredible man.
Love, Kyra Jo & Chad Jacoby & Jack Quinn.
