Robert Dakota Hatley

Cody, born May 18, 2001 was a lover of many things in life. He had a deep passion for music and enjoyed almost every genre, finding joy in a wide range of sounds and styles. Cody also had a great love for movies and the theater, always eager to catch the latest release or revisit a classic. His sense of humor was remarkable, and he was known for his goofy antics that could bring a smile to anyone's face. Cody had a unique ability to make people laugh and ensure they had a good time, no matter the situation.

One of Cody's most admirable traits was his unwavering optimism. He had a special gift for finding the good in everyone and everything, always focusing on the positive aspects of life. Cody's love for the outdoors was evident in the time he spent in nature. Whether he was sitting and watching, or simply enjoying a quiet moment outside, he found peace and joy in the natural world. Spending time with friends laughing, joking, listening to music and doing his version of singing. Everyone experienced his humor and many accents, especially his British one. He loved the outdoors and felt at home in the water and could often be found enjoying a swim. Cody's kindness and generosity were unmatched. He was always willing to go the extra mile to help those he cared about, offering support and assistance whenever it was needed. His selflessness and dedication to others made him a rare and cherished friend. Cody's presence brought warmth and light to the lives of those around him, and his absence will be deeply felt.

Cody will forever be missed by all who knew him. His laughter, love, and kindness have left a lasting mark on our hearts, and his memory will continue to inspire and uplift us.

In addition to his parents those left to cherish Cody’s memory include his loving family, extended and immediate and friends, especially his best friends Tyrone Word, Jr., Mikayla Guill and Taylor Guill.
