Cody will always hold a special place in our hearts. RIP my friend.
Cody blessed our family and made the most beautiful impact in our lives, especially our boys! Dr. Cody has been a comfort and guide for our family this past year and has made a lifeling impact in our lives in such a sort time. Sending love and prayers to his family and all whose lives were touched by such an incredibly special human being. He was such a kind and compassionate light for our family.
Rest in Heaven my brother. I thank God for your friendship over the years. May he watch over your family during this difficult time.
Cody was such a blessing to us. Is the Memorial Service open to the public?
We met Cody in Spring of this year (2023), and every moment we spent in his presence was a bigger blessing than I could have dreamed or hoped for. His knowledge, wisdom, and compassion knew no bounds as he helped us to learn new ways of navigating this crazy life. We are so grateful for the time we had with him, and we extend all of our love, prayers, and comfort to his family, friends, and clients. Cody was an amazing man and truly a good human. Forever in our hearts, may his memory travel with us for the rest of our days and guide us to model the empathy, love, and kindness he was always willing to share.
It was an honor, and a blessing to have known Cody. We looked forward getting together from time to time for lunch, and just talk about the goodness of life or anything else of interest. Cody was such a good man. I will miss our occasional get togethers for lunch while taking turns to decide where to meet. My deepest and sincere condolences to the family. May our Heavenly Father comfort family with his loving touch, and give them peace during this difficult time.
Shocked and devastated are the only words that come to mind. Cody was so full of life and so very good at what he did for kids. His support as a colleague will NEVER be forgotten. He will continue to give back to the community he loves through those of us he taught to help kids. Thank you Cody for all you taught me as a co-worker and fellow behavioral support professional.
