I remember when this young man was born and the active funny little guy he was and remained. My heart broke when I learned of his passing for his parents and his sister who I also knew since birth. Many happy occasions and memories especially at Nehalem Bay horse camp in augusts. I asked gods mercy upon all who love him. He is physically gone from our sight but never from our hearts.

To the family Melody, Randy and Shelby
First I'm sending my prayers and thoughts to you all and have been the last couple of weeks. I want to say thank you for allowing me to date him for many years, Kody was kind and cared the most about how people felt, he and I always had so many memories, one I remember the most is when he asked me to homecoming, and decorated your barn so special, we also shared so many memories fishing, and having fires. I will never forget how special of a person he was. I will remember how much fun we had at Shelby's Wedding dancing, and hoping one day it would be him and I. I can't even begin to describe to you how incredible he was, he was always there for me. He was the reason I believed in love. I was always so very proud of him. I will always miss him very much. The news of his passing was one of the hardest I had ever felt. His smile and look, was something you can never forget. It was vibrant. He could turn your bad day around with just a kind conversation. He always would say to me how important it was in life to be happy. These few weeks have been a struggle, but I'm trying to do what he would want me to do, is be happy. I will always miss him. I will always be grateful for the time I spent with him.

This is so tragic. Words just can't say how heartbreaking this is to lose someone so young with so much potential . Your mother was so proud of you. I loved the glowing look she had everytime she would tell me how you were doing. She loved you so deeply. Melody, I am devastated for you, Randy, Shelby and the dogs that all love Kody so much.
Kody, you leave behind a huge gang of friends, that will all have stories to share of their time spent with you. You made a lot of memories with so many in such a short life.

Kody, I remember all the laughs we had while tutoring. I remember the excitement on your face when you came and showed me your algebra tests! I am so sorry to hear of your passing. You were a light to so many!

I remember the first time I hung out with kody, we were around 12 years old. We were nextdoor neighbors and noticed each other playing outside, we talked across the fence and eventually he hopped the fence to come play catch with a football. At the time he was not very good at throwing a football but he was an excellent soccer player, which made the game of catch very fun as I would throw the ball to him and he would kick it back to me. He would kick it so hard that he would fall on his butt almost every time and we could not stop laughing. We didn’t always see eye to eye through the years but we supported each other in every major decision we made. Friends like kody are very hard to find and I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to have him as a close friend up until the day he passed. He was one of a kind and will be greatly missed.

I am so very sorry for your loss. My daughter Alyssa, and her boyfriend Tyler loved Kody very much. I always loved to hear the stories of what they cooked together, how Jane and the dogs all played together. He was family to them. No words can express how sorry I am for your loss.

Kody took me out fishing with him. He tried to teach me how to fish and was patient/ made fun of me when I got the line stuck multiple times in trees and rocks. He also promised to deal with any fish if I caught any. After, we went to grab lunch and we talked to the waiter who he had become friends with. Kody was there one night when the waiters son had gotten into an accident. The next week kody returned to check on the man and see how his son was. I will never forget the genuine concern he showed for a stranger.
