Jody it’s been forever since I seen or talked to you. But you will be forever missed, you were a huge part of my childhood. I had lots of big brothers that if anyone ever messed with me they had to answer to my big brothers. Thanks for the wonderful childhood memories that you were apart of. You will be missed, never forgotten. Until we meet again.
Love you so much! So sad you're gone. The kids and I miss you. You were truly one of a kind.
Jody, you where my Brother from another Mother. We knew each for 40years. We joined the Army together on the Buddy Program. We where stationed at Ft Lewis together. I’ll never forget our late night “Thunder Runs” home on Friday nights from Ft Lewis. Staying in Lebanon until the last possible minute Sunday night and getting back to base just in time for first formation on Monday morning... Boy did we rack up the speeding tickets back in the day... From there we went to Germany together. Even though we where hours apart by train or car, we always seemed to get together at least once a month.
If wasn’t for you I probably won’t have the extended family I have. I probably wouldn’t have know Aaron, Mike & Pat, Eddie or Kenny. You where the hub for our group of extended misfit brothers. You brought us all together.
I’m proud to have known you and call you my brother! I will forever love and miss you. Until we meet again, my brother!
You will be missed but not forgotten. We had a lot of good times and made some great memories that we will always remember. Love and prayers to your family.
We have very fond memories of Jody. His laugh, his sense of humor, his kindness. Till we meet again. Our love and prayers to his family.
I remember Jody as always having a kind word, helping hand and good friend to many. Prayers to his family and all who knew and loved Jody.
Did not wish for my post to be anonymous.. Miss you my friend. Always loved how you watched over me in the old days... thank you for that. You were my best friend..,
