Always remember skateboarding here in Waco Texas with Cody he was easy-going and easy to get along with. I’m going to the punk rock shows behind Poppa Rollo’s Pizza. I remember picking him up when I was 16 in my Ford ranger pick up truck and we was going to church at the Highland Baptist Church. Whoever’s reading this I’m sorry for your loss Jesus loves you.
Thank you for your kind words. I was laying in bed remembering the time we all went to Disney together last December. We had such a great time together, laughing and riding the roller coasters. I could tell that he really did not want to ride the rocking roller coaster but he did anyway just to share the experience with his sister Carolee.
We will miss him and he will always be with us in jour thoughts and memories. I feel like there was so much life to share with my son and it just finished that quick.
Cut short before we could enjoy what the future would bring
Cody was a close friend to me and my family for the last 25 years. He especially had a lot respect for my dad and always managed to keep in touch with him personally. Cody and I always had a very special bond that neither of us replaced as the years continued forward. He was always forthright about how he felt and gave me truly helpful words if I was ever feeling beaten down by my hardships. The respect and genuine love that he gave was enough to make any dark room feel warmer and brighter. I will always be grateful for receiving that care from him. He meant, and still does mean, so very much to me.. I can only imagine the esteem his family must hold for him. This is a true loss for us all. His love makes me a better person today. God Bless.
Thank you you for sharing with us. This is a lesson to be learned: life is short and unpredictable; so enjoy life like it could be your last day here. Appreciate the family and friends around you. While you still have them .
