On Sept. 21st 2008 at 5:50 a.m. Cody caught the first flight out to Heaven to meet his maker. Cody fought cancer for 10 months and is now in peace. Cody personified love and kindness to everyone he met. His Christian faith led him to share the gospel in Mexico, Brazil, Fiji, Nepal, and all over the US. Cody was part of two missionary training organizations; Youth With A Mission - Chico, CA and Surfing The Nations - Honolulu, HI. He touched many hearts and lives wherever he went.A note by Cody written in 2006. "Nothing but love for all people under all circumstances. God's love is forever merciful and long suffering. His divine will was for us to be so like Him that we end up doing everything that He would do. I will rise up on wings of eagles and let the Great Spirit guide me on This Narrow Way."

HI Dear Amy,
I have tried to leave a message 2X and have not been able to do so. I just wanted you to know that my heart is hurting for you. I am praying continually for and we pray especially for the sad nights. You are an amazing woman and I know Cody is smiling in Heaven at how you are handling things. You were so blessed to have Cody as a husband, but he was equally blessed to have spent these 10 hard months with his best friend. I will keep praying!
amy - just wanted you to know we are praying for you!!
beth, david, leah grace, & bennett spray
There's the Peter Frampton curls he told me about....
hey Amy,
I have been praying for you and felt the need to share this with you. I have been looking over your blog and have been so blessed by your lives. I read what Cody's prayer requests were on January 1, 2008.
Here are a few prayer requests from Cody himself:
1. that I'll be able to breathe clearly every night
2. that the fluid in my lungs would dry up
3. coughing spasms to go away
4. muscles to regain strength
5. tumors in my lungs, lower back, skull, and any where else that they may be hiding would line up with the Word of God and go back to hell where they came from
6. JOY would return to me ten fold
7. PEACE to rest upon me again
8. FIRE of God would rise up inside of me and that I will take back what the enemy has tried to steal
I am praising God that every one of his requests has been answered! I love you Amy. I will keep praying for you!
Love, Missy
Amy, I hope you feel the presence of Jesus with you tomorrow. So many are praying and Cody is watching his beautiful bride. I will be with you in spirit and prayer. Sweet girl, I know this is hard, but I pray for your strength. I wish I had profound words for you but I don't...just simply words from my heart to yours.
Love you so much,
Mama B
Hi... I am here from Darren Leblanc's blog. I just wanted to say how deeply sorry I am for the loss of Cody. I have been sitting here reading and I am blown away by what an amazing man of God he was. I look forward to meeting him in heaven someday.
I know words have very little comfort. I just wanted to stop in and let you know that while I do not even know you, I am moved by your story and your faith.
