Cody graduated from Brighton High School, earned his Eagle Scout Award and served as an LDS missionary in the South Dakota Rapid City Mission. He loved the out-of-doors, Fall being his favorite time of year. He enjoyed fishing and staying at the cabin where he would always watch out for any wildlife. He could spot the deer easily and would watch them outside the cabin windows bedded down on the property and photograph them.

He supported them at all their recitals, baseball, football, volleyball games…his camera always out and ready to capture special moments. He was “The Greatest Uncle in the World.” He will be remembered for his great sense of humor and his love of music. He worked as a Ticket Broker for sporting events, the cultural arts and concerts. Cody enjoyed attending many of these and loved collecting vinyl records to be signed by the various artists and having his photo taken with them. He was preceded in death by his father.
