15 Feb 2021Cody was a sweet young man, who loved his family. His love for biking was compared to nothing. Many days he’d take off and just ride enjoying the outdoors. I , especially , enjoyed our conversations when I visited his mom and dad. His memory will be cherished.
With great love from his Aunt Terry.
