It's an hour early, but it's way past my bedtime already since I got sober. I wanted to be the first and probably only one to wish you a Happy Homecoming, Cody. Can't wait to see you in the Going Place. I love and miss you.

Cody's, passing has left a loss in the hearts of everyone that knew him. He was intellectual I'll never forget when he told me about his SAT score he was so proud of that and he's so very proud of his diploma. (GED)
He talked of his family a great deal missing each and everyone, his brother and sister his dad stepmom his son and Allison, the one love he will forever love I think he will always cherish and treasure the mother of his child Allison.
. I loved Cody from the first time I met him he was bright he was caring
very respectful, a very loving a man I always told him he was an old soul caught in a younger body aging well before his time . I'll never understand why God needed him so badly to take him from all of us
. He wanted to have a purpose he wanted to be loved but most of all he needed to be respected he was a proud man he talked of his dad often telling me all the things he learned from him I never had the privilege of meeting his father but he impacted Cody he knew how to care for himself, he raised a good man a man that wanted to make it on his own way, he was a man that didn't like to ask for help and if you helped him he would appreciate it beyond words that's for sure.
I just wish whomever you are that your introducing him to the things the 33 years young man should have never been introduced to you, I hope you're happy and you never do this to someone again because of you you cheated all of us out of Cody and I hope you know that you are a selfish person one that has to live with what you did taking that beautiful man away from all of us whoever you are you should be ashamed of yourself.
Some people may be upset right now by my words I just written, there's so many times in condolences that the real reason why somebody was taken from us is never said and I had to say this, I just can't hide it because, his father lost his son, son a has now lost his father, a brother will no longer have a brother and a sister will no longer have her brother and Allison will no longer be able to dream of her family being together again.
Cody you will be so missed by myself and so many others you are loved more I think that you even realized you still have a fresh change of clothes at my house waiting for you to come and shower so I can wash the set that you're wearing.
I'm a better person for knowing you you finally made it to where you wanted to go it breaks my heart ❤
Cody I was always proud to know you, whenever you left my house clean showered and had a full belly I prayed to a heavenly Father to take you in his arms and protect you, I guess this was his way of protecting you the way he knew how so now your finally on your way you will make your way to heaven, I'm not afraid for you any more I know God is now carrying you, your
going to make a lot of new friends in heaven God bless you precious child you've gone way too soon but you'll never be forgotten
I hope God has a castle for you up there so you don't have to sleep outdoors or be hungry ever again.
God bless you young man I love you forever Cody Love Sylvia

I've only known Cody for a few short years, but he was an amazing young man, full of knowledge. Never was there a day that he didn't bring a smile to my face when I seen him. He would come by to say hi, and hang out and show me all the new treasures he had found. Life lost to young and he is and will be missed. My condolences go out to his family. He was a good person and is gone way to soon. Apparently someone has other plans for him and needed to bring him home. I will never forget you my friend. Fly high Cody, you are finally free....
