Cody Delgaudio Obituary

CODY DELGAUDIO May 28, 1992 - Sept. 25, 2010 Cody Shane DelGaudio, 18, of Henderson, passed away Saturday, Sept. 25, in Las Vegas. He was born May 28, 1992, in Las Vegas, the beloved son of Melissa and Salvatore DelGaudio and was a shining star in their world. Cody was a devoted son and loved his family and spending time with each of them. He loved reading, dirt bike riding, scuba diving and was gifted with technical skills related to all technology. He attended Coronado and Silverado High Schools and had many dear friends. Cody planned to begin studies in the fall in the health sciences. He was intrigued by psychology and mental health and felt his calling was to help other youth that struggled with depression and drug addiction. Cody is survived by his parents, Melissa and Salvatore DelGaudio; grandparents, Paul and Maggie Shealy of Florida; grandmother, Jennie DelGaudio of Buffalo, N.Y.; aunts and uncles, Lottie and Samuel Cusimano, Michael and Mary Shealy, Robert and Jody Finnegan of Las Vegas, and Michael and Linda DeRose of Buffalo. Cody also leaves his most beloved cousins, Noel, Joe Paul and Zachary Cusimano, Robert and Andrew Shealy, Laryn, Ara and Glory Finnegan of Las Vegas, and Michael, Kristin and Katie DeRose of New York. We especially wish to recognize Cody's family for all of their devotion and support in recent years, Bill, Bryan and Nicole Henry of Henderson. He will be cherished and remembered forever in all of our lives. A celebration of Cody's life will be at 3 p.m. Friday, Oct. 1, at Sun City MacDonald Ranch Community Center, 2020 W. Horizon Ridge Parkway, Henderson, NV 89012.

Dear Melissa and Bill,
Gosh I cannot express how very saddened I am to hear that you have lost your sweet son Cody. I recall sitting in your office Melissa on many occasion and looking at the pictures you had plastered all over of Cody. You were so proud of the picture of him in his little baseball uniform... My heart aches for you and the immense pain you must be experiencing. May God give you courage to move forward through each day as others continue to pray for you.

Most Sincerely,
Micki Torres

I just wanted to reiterate how much we has fallen in love with you because of the family you have become to Cody and Melissa.
The loss of Cody has been heartbreaking for you which is evident.
Melissa, Cody, and our family were blessed the day you entered our lives. We never overlooked your love, kindness, and support of his exuberant personality.
You are all so giving, talented, creative, thoughtful, and unique that you were a perfect match for Codeman.
I pray that you enjoy the precious and vivid memories of Cody that will grow stronger exponentially as they have in the last few days.
I love you,
Lottie

Cody made work so enjoyable. I didnt have the courage to get on stage and share some of my fondest memories with Cody on October 1st, but here are a few.
I remember one time at work we had finished cleaning and the saran wrap was still out so Cody calls me over and says 'Zio wrap me up in the saran wrap!' So here I go, I wrap him up in saran wrap from his chest down to his knees! I remember I was so scared because I didn't want a manager to walk in on us. So I finished wrapping him and he wabbled like a penguin from the restaurant through the casino, and all the way to the basement area. It was so funny. It was like we were busting a mission so we wouldn't get caught. What a funny kid. My most fondest memories of us are from work. Haha :)

Dear Bill, Brian, Nicole and Melissa,

I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your Beloved Son Melisssa and I know that he will be greatly missed by you and Bill and his children. Although I never met you I knew Bill and the kids when my children went to school with his children and he was so good with them and such a good friend to me. I know that having him and the children around you will help you to ease the pain of losing a child. I couldn't imagine that terrible feeling and I wouldn't want to either. I have three children who were close to Bill and Brian and Nicole one of which is a senior at Northwest Career and Technical Acadamy and Nicole's oldbest friend since kindergarten Jessica. We will be thinking about you and your family and saying prayers for you all. God Bless you and I know that your son is in God's hands now and watching over you and he will never be far from your side and always in your hert and memories.

Fondly,
Toni & Mike Miller and Jessica, Zachary and Joshua Popowcer

I've known the Finnegan family and all of their extended family for over a decade. You are truly an amazing, wonderful and loving family that is always their for each other. I'm so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that you will feel the comfort, peace and acceptance of God's love and trust that he has a plan. I know this will never make sense but in helping others you will honor Cody's memory and remind people what an extraordinary young man he was. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of such an amazing family. I'm honored to have known Cody.

To my family
It is impossible for me to put into words how I feel, I wish more than anything I was there with everyone. I am thankful for the oppurtunity to have gotten to know Cody, and I cherish the memories from when I was there last year. I remember watching Cody and Kaprice making bracelets together. Looking at the bracelet he made special for her with her name on it and remembering her show it off means so much to me. I can still hear their laughter as they sat together picking beads and Cody staying up to finish it for her. Cody your memories will never be forgotten and We all love you and will miss you always.

Melissa & Sam & to our beloved grandson Cody...We know your hearts are breaking as ours are too. Cody was a bright & shining light, had a wonderful smile & personality to go with that smile. We can remember 18 plus years ago when you came to FL to visit & you had just found out you were pregnant...such joy everyone had. Then after Cody was born & all our visits to L.V. we stayed with Melissa & Cody. We always had such a wonderful time. Cody was a joy to be around & always kept us entertained. Cody's spirit will live within us all & he will never be forgotten. Cody is in a good & happy place now & he is waiting up there for all of us to join him for one of those big family get togethers. Our love, thoughts, support & prayers will always be with you Melissa & Sam. We love & cherish you Cody & will miss you always.

Dear Melissa,

I am so, so sorry about Cody's passing. My heart has broken for you. As a mother of 2 boys about the same age I know there are no words that I can write here to comfort you. So I will pray that you and your family will find strength and comfort and celebrate Cody's life.

Cody was a wonderful blessing given to you. Hold him in your heart and focus on how he enriched your life and all that he brought to you. Remember the fun and smiles and goofy things he did and the tender moments you shared.

May God bless you and keep you in His arms and give you strength.

September 29, 2010

Dear Sam,
I've always admired how you drove from one side of town to the other for miles and miles each week to spend special time with Cody.
You were always so supportive of him - helping with projects, homework and doing whatever he needed to be cared for and feel loved.
My heart breaks for you and the loss of your exceptionally respectful, intelligent, handsome, fun-loving, hard working, unforgettable, and beloved son.
My prayers will be for this sorrowful time to pass; leaving you a multitude of beautiful memories that you have created with your boy, Cody.

Dear Melissa and Salvatore

After visiting with your father and his wife this year, this was unexpected news and I would like to share some of my "dealings' with such events with you.

It pains me greatly to hear of your loss of such a young loved one at such a tender age. I too, have two sons at the age of 19 and 21 years of age and it would devastate me to sustain such an event. I know that we are separated by thousands of miles and we haven't seen each other in over 50 years, but family is family! The Shealy clan is one of the toughest, tightest, and most beloved bloodline that I have ever experienced. We support and stand behind each and every one in every generation.

Taking care of my mother, Carolyn Shealy Shumpert, until her death at the age of 97in our home, taught us many things. Family always comes first and her love was bestowed without limits to my children and to us as well. It is so ingrained in our blood that we also took in my wife's mother and her husband as well (now both deceased) and built them a house on our farm. My wife's younger sister came to live here and she is gone as well. Now we have our only granddaughter and her parents in that house. That said, we are no strangers to the loss of family members on our property. We only hope that you take strength from your loss and move forward. That is the only way we can cope with what comes tomorrow!

Remember the blessed moments with your son, relish the moment of his birth, the enjoyment of watching him grow up.
His interaction with others, and , remember his words and teasing with you, his parents. That is what we have to be thankful for it is written "in stone" in our hearts and memories.

You have our complete support, our prayers, our thoughts, for your recovery from this sudden loss. Our hearts and thoughts are extended for your condolences in this sad event. Just remember that God will not give you too big a burden to bear and you will forge ahead in your pursuit of life. Express your love to every family member every hour, every day, every friend, and all of those who mean something in your life. We are not promised another day so it is vitally important that such emotions are conveyed. That way, we do not have to say good bye, only "greetings", at a later time.

Words cannot express how sad with the loss of Cody. Cody was a great kid. Being a friend of his uncles, I got to go dirt bike riding with him, which he showed a talent for, ride his goofy scate board in the street and hang out a bit. He was easy and fun to be around and I will remember him as a talented, smart and respectful young man. My heart goes out to Melissa and his family. Words cannot express.

Cody is with Abby now and the angels are watching over them gently.

I wish Cody, that while you were with us that I could have told you how important you are to us. The love you gave to my family (and me) every day of your life can never be replaced. My regret is that I dont know if you ever knew how important you were to us; I hope you now know. I will miss you for the rest of my life and I promise I will never forget you. The memories you gave me were the best gift. I miss you CodeMan! Love Uncle Rob

To my dearest son Cody,
I will think of you in a happy place with your favorite music so loud, you won't hear anyone sneak up on you. A place where you are driving a Lamborghini and are a champion dirt bike rider. Cody you always promised to buy me a red Corvette, don't worry about that, when I see you again, we will do that together. I have always told you that you were the best thing that ever happened to me. It is true. I love you Cody,

We love you Cody!

I heard about the passing of Cody the day after it happened. I couldn't believe it. I still can't believe I'm never gonna see him again.
I knew Cody from work at the NYNY. Something bonded us and we became real close. I remember he would spend the night at my house sometimes and we'd stay up all night playing Guitar Hero with my little brother. We'd sleep for a few hours, then head on over to work together. My mom loved Cody's presence. She cried when I told her the news.
I am truely sorry for his familys loss. I lost one of my best friends. Now all I have are memories, an amazing picture of Cody and I, and our last text message conversation saved on my phone.
Cody had such a beautiful smile and I always let him know it. I miss him terribly.
Cody will forever be in my heart.
I love you and miss you Cody.
May you Rest In Piece.
