In April of 1985, the family moved to Independence, MO, where Kody grew up and graduated from William Chrisman High School in 2001 and was a member of the River Blvd Baptist Church. In 2005, Kody moved to Ft. Worth, TX, and trained to become a Crane Mechanic at TSI – MI-Jack – Lanco Corp, working at the BNSF Intermodal Yard in Alliance, TX.

Kody loved playing and watching sports, spending time with his family, playing with his nephews and niece, and spending time with his friends. There was nothing more satisfying to Kody than helping a friend in need – he would do anything for the people he loved. Kody was a precious and beloved son, a cherished brother, the best of uncles, and a caring grandson. Most of all, Kody was a loyal friend to everyone who was lucky enough to have met and known him. Kody will be missed by many, and may we all find God's comfort and peace in knowing that Kody was carried in the loving arms of Jesus through the gates of Heaven, and is watching over us all.
