In Memory Of

Cody M. Decker, age 19, of Fort Shaw

February 9, 2000 – February 21, 2019

With deepest sorrow, we announce that Cody Michael Decker, age 19, our beloved grandson, son and brother, passed away on February 21, 2019 in Helena, MT. He was born February 9, 2000 in Klamath Falls, Oregon.  He graduated from Simms High School in May 2018 and was pursuing a degree in Metal Fabrication at the University of Montana – Helena College.

Cody had a big, giving heart and witty personality. Those who knew him, loved him.  He was always willing to help out a friend, and he was a friend to all who knew him.  While in high school, Cody loved to be active, participating in wrestling, rugby, FFA and 4H Clubs.  Cody was a bit of a dare devil, always willing to try something new, he enjoyed hunting, playing sports and games with his brothers and friends.

Cody will be missed everyday by his parents, Bob and Anna, his brothers, Hunter, Nicholas, Peyton and Parker, his great-grandmother, Ruth Boyle, his grandparents Mike and Cheryl York, and his loving Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and his many friends. Our lives will never be the same.

Viewing will be held at 1:00 p.m. Wednesday, February 27th at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 845 Highway 89, Sun River, MT, with a funeral service to follow at 2:00 p.m. at the church followed by a reception at the church.

    Hi Anna,
    I know that there isn’t anything I could say to take away the pain. But please know I’m here for you, whatever you need. No words can express the pain that you are going through. My prayer is that God will give you strength to face the coming days ahead
    There are no words that can explain the sorrow and pain we feel for the loss of your son. They will be greatly missed.
    I imagine there is no pain deeper than losing a child. My heart and prayers go out to you at this most difficult time
    Those we love don’t go away. They walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, still missed and very dear

    I am very sorry to hear of your loss and would like to offer my condolences to the family. In Psalm 34:18, I hope may bring comfort as it mentions that God is close to those broken in heart and He saves those crushed in spirit. My deep regards.

    I was blessed with the opportunity to be Cody’s art teacher and when he was in seventh grade, I noticed Cody begin to open up and show his witty personality. During studio time, while the class was quietly working on their projects, Cody started telling stories. He told these stories while he worked on his projects. These were stories that broke the silence, made his peers and I laugh, and lightened the spirits in the classroom. Cody made the stories up but he told them as if he had told them hundreds of times before and we all enjoyed them. I am proud to have been his art teacher and I’m happy to have known him while getting to become friends with his family along the way. I will miss Cody, and his goofy stories.

    I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your dear son, Cody. How heavy your heart must be. I hope that you will find comfort in the words of Jesus at John 5:28,29 where he promised that the day is coming when he is going to resurrect back to life those in the grave. And they will be brought back to a beautiful paradise earth with no more sickness or tragedies, able to continue living life to the full. (Psalm 37:11,29) (Isaiah 33:24) Until then, it is just like your precious Cody is sleeping. (John 11:11-13) May your family draw strength from Jehovah, the God of all Comfort.
