Cody was a simple man, who had a smile that will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to have met him. He enjoyed the outdoors, time around campfires, fishing and hunting. Cody was a Chicago sports fan, especially the Blackhawks, Cubs and Bears. He loved his "girl dog", Daisy, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge on February 25 to join him.
With determination, Cody worked at Nissan for 20 years even through his struggles with Muscular Dystrophy.
Cody is survived by his wife, Debra; his father, Bruce (Mary Louise) Muench; his brother, Kevin (Cyndie) Muench; his sisters-in-law, Sharon Horner and Doris Schultz; brother-in-law, Don (Gloria) Peck; his dear friends, Geneva and Mike Lewis; and many nieces and nephews.
