Condolences
My sincere condolences to Kodi’s family and Kaitlyn. I only knew Kodi for a short time through Kaitlyn and his part time work at the Groves. He made an impression during that short rime and his infectious smile will be missed.
Rest in peace brother. A soul too good for this cruel world. I’m praying for the entire family, we love y’all
So sorry for your loss
All my love and prayers go out to you and your family.
Love Debi
Sending love & prayers to you during this difficult time. May he rest in eternal peace.. I’m here for you. Hugs.
Kodi was friends with my Son. Most Friday nights after a football game he would spend the night with Dylan and a few other guys. He was always a pleasure to have at my house and the boy could eat. We recently saw him at a wedding and there he was with that bigger than life smile. He will be missed. So sorry for your loss.
Please accept our deepest condolences for you and your family.
He was a such a gentle and fun soul. I had the pleasure of going to school with him in Melbourne, Fl. Before the move and I am so sorry for your loss.
hi my name is Kiersten,
I went to high school with Jodi he was always smiling. We attended at St.Martin, I couldn’t tell you the year, but after school we later met in life. We were out at a bar and just so happen to cross paths and he asked if I remembered him. I told him yes he was in rotc!! So we chatted he was doing well in life. I’m sure he made his family proud and I’m so sorry to hear this tragic news. He is always going to watch over he is with the lord safe. I am praying for your family because I know from experience in loss that words can not express the pain of loss💕
Keeping y’all in prayers of oeace & understanding. We love y’all. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
