Hey Bub...Im glad I heard bout this thing. Cuz since the beginnig, I had been filling up a notebook of random notes I was writing to you. I filled it up pretty fast. It really isnt the same with you calling me at night to 'just say hey sis and i love u' Remember all of our pathtic attempts to stay outta trouble? I miss you so much. You know right? I hope you see that Im still here...Like I promised, I'd never leave. Its gotten tough. I mean really. You woudn't believe the things that happened. Its almost like you were really my brother u know? You always said that too.. But its like, for the longest time that we have known eachother, all the things we'd done together, It can't do them alone. I dont know how. I think about you everyday, and I pray to god I'll see you again...I know I will. I still talk to you...I love you Bub, always remember that..I LOVE YOU... **
Wake me up when September ends.... / Kindra Wilcoxen (Friend)
Cody, its me again hun..I was sittin in my room listening to "Wake me up when September ends" and it got me thinking of you.I was thinking about the worst day of my life. I remember watching the football game and all of a sudden the ambulance comes speeding through. I felt something was wrong, but i figured i was paranoid. Our team won the game, but our victory was lost. That weekend, i went to Jordons house. His mom was on the couch with big tears in her eyes..We sat on the porch together asking ourselves how this could happen..remembering all the good times we had with you.Laughing about how funny of a person you were. That day for the first time, i saw jordon cry. And thats when i knew it was real. Your absence is painful to all of us. I keep wishing that one day, you'll pop into class and go hey guys im just joking!! but i also wish that someday i will see your smiling face again. do me a favor and watch over us. make sure we keep ourselves intact. I love you, we love you. I'll see you soon bro..

Sadly Missed... / Author Unknown
Cody If you would have passed me on the sidewalk. You probaly would not have known me. But I knew you, you were my friends baby, her sunshine, what she lived for. You and Ryan was her joy. The happiness you brought to her over the years. I loved it when she talked about her baby's or showed me thier pictures. You always have been and still are her Angel. Watch over her. You are sadly missed by all.
Forever Cody... / Author Unknown
I've been reading some of the entries in here and find it so terribly sad that someone who was loved so much is gone. I wonder if you really knew how many lives you'd touched in so many wonderful ways. Many people, young and old will never forget the little things about you and you will live forever in their hearts and minds. I hope you've found the peace you were so longing for deep inside. The exceptance that you just didn't realize you had here. I pray now that you can see how much you meant to so many. I pray that you family will find peace also in the memories that they will always have. Forever Cody
Cody, Where to start? I love you kid. There is not a worse feeling than the feeling of losing your friend. I miss your smilin face and your hallarious personality. You were amazing and still are amazing to everyone who knows you. Although we didn't keep in touch throughout high school you still meant the world to me and always will. When I did see you it was like nothing had changed between us and you were still the same person. But you were such a lovable person and everyone was drawn to you. Michelle I don't know if you remember me, but you Ryan and Neil are always in my prayers. When I saw the look on your face and the hurt in your eyes it changed me forever. Try not worry yourself he is in a much better place and he is watching over you and your family. I love you Cody and you WILL NOT be forgotten!!!
Such a Ladies Man! / Holly Bagshaw (Friend)
Cody,
I remember the last time I saw you...in Taco Bell. You were such a ladies man! You and your friends were having such a good time. I didnt know you very well, but the times you were at your Grandma Vicki's, you were so fun to be around. It's amazing how someone so young can light up a room as soon as he walks in. You are sadly missed not by just your family and friends, but also by the people who knew you from a distance. You were such an amazing guy, and I will miss you.
Cody...we all miss you so much. So many memories. We all walked into that school on Monday that it was so quiet. I remember like just before we lost you, you asked me if I had a pencil and I gave you one, then you asked me how Jared was doin and to tell him that you missed him. I wasnt that close to you in high school...but I remember is 7th grade we were close. I miss you so much. When I got that phone call on that Friday night I could not believe it...I cried for the next week. Its so different not seein you in the hallway at your locker every morning. The class of 2008 and everyone else out there will always remember your smile that lit up the room when you came in and how you could cheer anyone up no matter how down they were. You will be voted most memorable when it comes our time to vote for the class of 2008. I love you and I miss you Cody.
Tillo Boys... / Dustin Taylor (Friend)
Code Man, I miss you so much. It seems like everything reminds me of you in some way. We had alot of good memories in Tillo. Me, you, and Ryan had alot of basketball, football, and bike riding together. Everyday playing tractors under the shade tree or in my garden. Every night walking around the block with the family. I'm sorry we werent as close in high school, but I'm happy for the times we did have and cherish everyone of them. Help keep your family and friends strong. You will always be with us Cody. Always Tillo Boys!
My Boy / Pvt. Jared Ferguson (Friend)
My Boy
I sit here trying not to cry, Wondering why god why
We were friends, Till the very end,
God took you from us Try and figure this out I must
Even a soldier cries when his friend dies
I wish I could bring you back Maybe help you get your life back on track
You will always be in our hearts No matter where our lives start
Today I lost someone close to me a soldier I must continue to be
I didn’t know your soul was lost To bring you back, I would gladly pay the cost
We will always miss you Your heart was so pure and true
We will always laugh at the crazy stuff you did God took you to soon, you was still just a kid
I can’t stop thinkin about you in my mind When I get to heaven, you I will try to find
When we meet in heaven, I will cry tears of joy Thank the lord, I’m finally back with my boy.
Cody you was like a brother to me. All the times we talked about the military. I remember you telling me to be safe in basic training. All the times i was down at your house hanging with you and ryan. It was weird this summer not going down to your house after 2-adays in football to swim and relax. My family thought of you like a son. Cody your truely missed.
Sincerely Pvt. Ferguson
I Just Wish you Could be Here / Author Unknown (Friend) You must be mad at me and don't want to talk For I have not visited you for some time Since your leaving I could barely walk Because you were always on my mind I can only imagine where you lay Weeds and grass have overgrown Beautiful sunlight by the day But of course you would never know I can try to explain why my absence was a must I am sure there are no excuses for something like this I only hope you understand and can trust Like the time when we first kissed I decided to see you today The first time since that night Forgive me if I seem in dismay I never felt this was right Excuse my actions when I look I am finally facing the truth Oh the beatings my heart took They were all for you I don't understand what I fear I never want to know why I just wish you could be here To hold me when I cry I brought you a white rose wrapped in ribbon I remember it was your favorite flower I saw it in the store and had to give in Maybe it was some outer power Well I am going to leave it at that I will leave the rose here for you to keep I will fix the grass where I sat And leave you to your sleep I am hoping this visit was good I hope to come back soon I hope you don't think this is rude But I will forever love you
