Gary Dean Cody

Mrs. Cody and Family - I have searched many times to locate Gary since the internet came online but without any success until today and I find this sad note that he has gone on ahead but joy to know he is with God.
Please know my thoughts are with all of you and I only have to imagine what a great husband and father Gary was, because he was a great friend while I served with him in Vietnam during 1972. I have nothing but fond memories of him and how he, as the wisest one in our group provided the leadership to those of us who were on our first tour.
When I read about his career path, I was not surprised because he possessed a truly unique style for counseling the folks who came through the rehab facility in Nha Trang. Just sitting hear thinking and reflecting on the memories brings a smile to both my heart and my face.
God bless all of you.

Mrs. Cody.

So sorry to read this. Gary changed my life way back when I was in the army in El Paso. He counseled me for nearly a year and helped me in many ways. I wish he could see what I got to do because of what he did for me.

Mrs. Cody: i am so sorry to just now learn of your lost. Gary was my friend but we lost touch and did not see each other after I left Lawton. I know he had a strong faith, loved his family, and will be missed. God bless you and yours. Wally Boyd

Susan, Je'Ann, Rachel and Jeremy: We have so many fond memories of your sweet family and of course of Gary. He was truly a gentle giant and a wonderful inspiration in our walk with the Lord. We loved his infectious laugh and his willingness to pray for us at a moment's notice. We dearly remember you all as our caregroup leaders right before we married. May the Lord bring your hearts peace and comfort as only He can as you cherish precious memories.

I am so, so sorry for your loss. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May the Lord hold you close.

Susan, so many precious memories of you and Gary, and your family. Gary's caring, gentleness, and compassion made such a difference to so many. Know that our hearts and prayers are with you, and more importantly, you are in His hand.

God, take this family through this tribulant and trying moment, give them strength and support, let them know they are loved.

Thinking of you and holding you close in prayer, my dear friend.
Love, Juli Chaney
