CODY DEGENSTEIN
FOREVER 33
December 2, 1988 – March 18, 2022
Velva, North Dakota
Cody was a guardian in every sense of the word. To his mom, he was her rock, her fiercest protector, the one who never wavered. His love was steadfast, constant—an unspoken promise that he would always be there. To his children, he was their safe place, their guiding light, and the kind of daddy who turned ordinary days into magic. Cody knew how to make you feel cherished, how to turn little moments into memories you carry forever.
His sweetness wasn’t just something you noticed—it was something you felt. Whether it was the way he cared for his family or the joy he brought to those around him, Cody gave of himself freely, leaving everyone better for having known him.
The world is quieter without his laughter, dimmer without his light, and heavier without his love. But Cody’s spirit remains—a whisper in the wind, a memory in every moment of joy, and a feeling that never fades. His heart still beats in those he loved, his lessons still carried forward in his family’s smiles.
