Cody was always a happy little boy. He always had a smile on his face. He will always be remembered for always having a smile on his face. He loved to tease and make people feel happy. He was a very kind, caring and tenderhearted young man. Cody loved to hunt, fish and go camping. He loved football also, but decided that hunting was more important. He was able to get himself a nice bull elk last fall with his bow for the first time and he was so excited. Cody enjoyed going hunting with his Dad and sister, Kelsi. He loved to spend time with family and cousins and go camping. When he would come home from school he would do his chores if he had some or ask if he could do them when he got home, then head down to the fishing hole or go shooting. He loved to be outside and enjoyed the outdoors. Cody’s little nieces and nephews loved cody. He was always so kind and patient with them. If his little niece called she would want to know what Cody was doing. His family always told Cody that he would make a great dad because he was so good with kids and they loved him. Cody loved to play games, play in Stump Creek, the Hog Hole and the creek that ran by his house. He spent hours playing in the water with his sisters and cousins. He always wanted his Mom to come and watch him. He was always so happy when he was playing with his family or cousins.
Cody spent days every spring helping his family fence for his grandparents. He was always willing to go and help his grandparents if they needed something. Almost two years ago Cody accidental shot a friend of his in the arm. It devastated Cody, even though it was an accident. He always tried to be happy, but we knew that it was extremely difficult for him. He was so kind hearted and caring that we knew it was tearing him up. AS a family we did everything that we could to try and help him. Cody was a very good young man. He didn’t go out drinking, but the night that he died he rode with two others to a party, and someone brought up the shooting accident, and it really upset him to the point where he was crying and went outside. A message that we feel that Cody would leave is to recognize who you truly are inside, and let your words build each other up and not tear each other down. Cody did not like to hear gossip, nor did he like to speak unkindly about anyone. Cody was preceded in death by his grandfather, LaDee Chadwick.
