A former student of Lexington High School, Cody worked alongside his father at Vendetti Tree Service and among friends at Marquis Tree Removal. As an employee, he was industrious, reliable, confident, and good-spirited. As a person, he was loving, intuitive, strong, and loyal to the bone.

In his spare time, Cody enjoyed hanging out with family, playing video games, watching football, and listening to his favorite music including Eminem, Lil Wayne, Joyner Lucas, and 50 Cent. He cared deeply for animals, especially his dog Tony. His love for shoes and fashion was unparalleled - he will be buried in his favorite pair of sneakers, Off- White Air Jordan 1's UNC, it'll be his first time he's worn them.

Cody's unabashed humor, goofy charm, and gentle heart will never be forgotten.
