Cody worked many jobs in his life, most recently he worked for Hill Air Force Base for many years in several positions.

Before his passing he worked as the build shop manager for Mackenize Exhibits. He truly loved this job and the people that he got to work with every day. He was always up for the challenges and excelled beyond measure. He will be so GREATLY missed by the whole company.

He had a special love for teaching any and everything he knew whether it was something about life, working on a lathe, anything to do with building or woodworking, as well as cement work.

Cody kept his circle small but if you were a part of it, you knew you were truly his friend and embedded in his huge and selfless heart.

One thing all of us that loved and cherished about him is that if you needed anything BIG or SMALL, one call or text to him and he would be there to help you no matter what it was.

In 2008 Cody met the love of his life Michelle. They had a beautiful sunset wedding in Maui, Hawaii Sept 14, 2011.
