My fondest memory of Jody was when he was remodeling my moms and step dads home and everyday I came home for lunch he had crunch munch candy bar for me. And always a great big hug. I love this man. My thoughts and prayers to the family. I know he was pretty special to ya'll also.

My Paw has always been the toughest of all in my eyes he's taught me more than he ever realized. I've build a few things this year just working on projects Paw ask me where I learned how to do these things like building a chicken run, making a incubator and framing a door I said I've learned from watching you Paw. I witnessed the biggest smile come across his face. I would ask him questions on some carpentry skills then he would walk me through it with it turning out perfectly every time. He always thought he was teaching my brother but I was silently learning too. My Paw always said if I fall off of my horse to get right back on or he was going to bust my tail "which he's never done" but I wasn't going to test him to find out. My Paw hung the moon I just know he did. Now he's with my Ninnie square dancing on the streets of gold. I can just see her in all her glory and the loudest one in Heaven screaming "Jody" when she seen him walk through the gates of Heaven.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family as they mourn the passing of your loved one. May you remember the good times, and forgive any misgivings that you may have had.
When I was about 7 years old, Uncle Jody would say, "Poor little thing was born on a day when the flies were bad". I felt inferior around him; but, as the years passed, I knew that he was just a kidder. I made peace with that memory.
He was his own man who loved his country and his family. He also loved God, and I witnessed that on visits with him. He always wanted us to pray with and for him.
Uncle Jody will be missed by many.
Love and prayers,
Paul and Burnell Lay
Such a time is not easy. Diane, I wish I could be there in person, but I will be praying and thinking about all of you today and in the months to come. Poppy and Mommy now have all their children with them once again.
I always thought of Uncle Jody as a very quiet, serious man...not saying much in a crowd...of course, that was from a busy, talkative girl's point of view. But he always had a biit hug to give out.
Praying a supernatural peace and comfort over each of you. Love you...Donna (Johnson) Riffel
So sorry I am out of town. I just hear Helen telling what to do. One of my favorite families. Positive thoughts and prayers. Jimmy.
Always enjoyed seeing him at the family reunions praying for his family
