Mr. Cody was a wonderful person and fun to be around. Family man, faithful, loving and caring. What a joy it was to work with him. A good friend and comrade to be around. Bless the family and friends that are grieving the loss of Mr Charles Cody.
Uncle Charles is what I called you even though you are my cousin. I remember you never missed wishing me a happy birthday blessings and you would send me a message on Facebook every now again. Good memories Uncle Charles! Praying for your family during this difficult time. Rest in Peace. Cousin Hope McGill 🙏🏿 💓
He was the first person we met when we moved in. He was always making us laugh. He and Forest would have those laugh out loud moments. At the many services he carried out, I would always hear, Hey neighbor and get a hug. He made us laugh, but now we cry. Thank you Sir! Rest well.
Our hearts are broken. He was the first person we met when we moved in. He always stopped by to pick at Forest about me working him like a Hebrew slave. I would always hear a voice saying hey neighbor, followed by a hug at many of the services he was leading for the funeral staff.He made us laugh, but now we cry. He will be missed. Thank you Sir for all to did for our family. Friendship does turn into family.
My deepest sympathies to the family. I have fond memories from many years ago....Charles and his sister Ruby were my mentors/trainers at the Walton Way Krispy Kreme Donut Shop as my after school job. I will always remember the lessons on life and donuts from Charles. RIP my friend and mentor. Robert Walker

There are no words that can truly express the sorrow I feel in knowing that you are no longer here with us. Losing a brother is a pain that reaches deep into the heart, because a brother is more than family—he is a part of your life, and your memories. I will always cherish the moments we shared, the laughter, the conversations, and the bond that can never be broken . You may be gone from my sight, but you will never be gone from my heart. Rest peacefully, my dear brother. Until we meet again, you will always be loved, and forever missed. With love always, Your Brother William H Cody (Big Will)
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
