Cody was a fun-loving young man who enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his little brother, Dallas. He had a remarkable sense of humor and enjoyed being the life of the party. His amazing creative spirit brought joy to us all.
Cody is survived by his mother Stephanie and brother Dallas along with his father Christopher and siblings Skylar, Cole, Caden, and Kennedy. He leaves his maternal grandparents, Janet and John Williams of Moyock, NC and paternal grandparents, Terri and Rick Lane of Fairmont, WV. He is also survived by several aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Dakota, we didn't know each other nor do we go to the same school location but we are both part of the ECPI community. I don't understand why you were taken so early but reading the articles I can tell you were an amazing guy! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Rest Easy!
