I remember meeting Cody the first time in 2020 with Kyle. Cody was always so happy, talkative and caring. One of my favorite memories with Cody would be reading the bible with him before bed, and he would read it out loud to me and then break it down to me. In a short amount of time he taught me so much about the bible and I truly admired his love, and faith he had for our god. I will forever miss Cody. Not to mention the love he gave my two daughters and always made sure they were happy. Cody will be missed so much.

Maybe not the first, but Definately one of the most memorable times I had with Cody, He was in his Eagle wings work shirt and he told me he was touch-up welding. We were in the Alley behind his Cousin Kyle's House. I was like "Man bro you are doing good, I wish I could work there too but I don't know if I could do that" He told me, "If I can do it, you can" and I was inspired enough to put in my app. Got the job and joined the line. That's the Cody I will remember. Good dude.
