Charles Joseph CODD

1953 - 2024

On the afternoon of May 25th, 2024, Charles "Charlie" Joseph Codd passed away due to complications of Parkinson's Disease with his wife Coleen at his side. He was 70 years old.

Charlie was born in Spokane, WA to Charles and LaVonne (Leavey) Codd on October 26, 1953, at Sacred Heart Hospital. Charlie was proudly raised in the South Hill neighborhood and cherished returning as often as he could. He attended St. Peter Catholic School and graduated in 1973 from Joel E. Ferris High School. Charlie married Coleen Charbonneau, a nurse, in September 1978. Charlie earned his bachelor's degree at Eastern Washington University in Cheney, WA in the early 1980's. This degree earned him a position with Transamerica and a move to Anchorage, AK in 1985. Charlie proudly worked most of his career in Commercial Finance for Transamerica with a 2nd relocation to Denver, CO in 1994. Charlie would eventually leave Transamerica and finish his career in management.

Charlie was a devoted husband, Dad and grandpa. He enjoyed the outdoors, especially when he was skiing, fishing, golfing, jogging, or completing his honey-do list in the yard. He was always excited to watch his beloved Seattle Seahawks, hockey, and baseball. He enjoyed as much travel as he could before experiencing difficulties associated with Parkinson's Disease. His biggest pride and joy are his four grandchildren, who he adored, and always looked forward to seeing. Charlie proudly belonged to the Knights of Columbus at Ave Maria Catholic Church, where he served his community. He was a loyal friend, who enjoyed staying in touch with his dear friends near and far. He valued his family and the memories made with his brothers and sisters when everyone was gathered.

Charlie is survived by his wife of over 45 years Coleen; his daughters, Heather (Casey) Dalrymple of Henderson, NV; Molly Codd (fiancé, TJ Hanfland) of Parker, CO; and his four grandchildren. His brothers James (Vicki) and Robert, both of Spokane, WA. His sisters Pamela Devine of Laclede, ID, and Cynthia Codd of Beaverton, OR. Charlie was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Michael (Marilee). Charlie is greatly missed and the memories of him will be cherished.
