Mt. Taylor Funerals & CremationsCody M. Pablo, a husband, "Farther", uncle, brother and cherished soul born on April 19, 1982, in Gallup, New Mexico, departed this world on March 2, 2026, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He was a remarkable man, famed for his multifaceted talents as a Class A CDL driver and crane operator, proudly donning the title of a “Jack of all Trades.” His life was a testament to hard work and dedication, coupled with an unforgettable smile that resonated warmth and joy even in his final moments.
A graduate of Crownpoint High School, class of 2001, Cody went on to enhance his skills at the Crownpoint Institute of Technology, earning a two-year certification in CDL. His professional career was a blend of expertise and passion, showcasing his ability to tackle every challenge with enthusiasm and competence.
Cody was not just defined by his work; he was an embodiment of the spirit of life lived fully. He found joy in nature through hunting, fishing, and camping, engaging with the great outdoors while relishing every moment spent among family and friends. He engaged in cattle wrestling and would frequently partake in trail rides, embodying a free spirit that valued simplicity and adventure. His love for country western dancing was equally matched by his unwavering loyalty to his favorite football team—the Broncos. Cody’s hobbies also included woodworking and leather working, where he expressed his creativity and skill, crafting items that would carry his unique touch.
Beyond his passions, Cody's most profound legacy is rooted in the bonds he cultivated with his family. He was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Nicolette Pablo, with whom he shared 21 years of companionship, laughter, and love. Together, they raised a beautiful family, their daughters—Jada R. Bosquez (Colby White) and Mellene E. Pablo (Kaden Harper), Mariah N. Pablo—and sons—Codale M. Pablo and Jayden A. Bosquez—encapsulate the essence of his dedication and care. As he continuously shouted with pride about his family and their ventures on the 3C Funny Farm, it was evident that they were his greatest accomplishment.
Cody's legacy will be felt deeply by his family, including his living wife and children, who will remember him as a guiding light in their lives. The sorrow for his absence will blend with the celebration of a life well-lived when family and friends gather for his funeral service on March 14, 2026, at the Thoreau Church of God in Thoreau, NM, at 11:00 AM. Following the service, he will be laid to rest at the James Chaco Residence in the Smith Lake Family Plot, allowing him to eternally rest close to his beloved kin. The family will have a reception to follow.
He now joins a constellation of family who had previously departed, including his paternal grandparents, Anita R. Pablo and Edison Pablo; his grandfather, James Chaco and great-great grandfather Monte Pablo; his maternal grandmother, Mae Chaco; and his aunts, Rena Woods Vandever and Pauline Delgarito and his brother-n-law, Richard Yazzie Jr. Their spirits, now reunited, will surely find solace in the shared love and memories that continue to permeate the hearts of those left behind.
Cody M. Pablo’s life was a cherished melody—one that will echo through the memories of those he adored and through the stories that will continue to be told around campfires and family gatherings. Though he has departed this earthly plane, his spirit will forever illuminate the lives of those he loved.
"Forever in the Saddle Cody"
** We ask for continued prayers and words of encouragement. And our deepest Thank you from his wife and children. **
