Cody, I remember that time we had a suicidal guy in Harris Park, and you came out off duty to help cover us. You were one of those guys who epitomized the "thin blue line." I wish I could have gotten to know you better, but I know that I am a better person for the brief time I knew you. Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your example. Rest in peace, our fallen brother.
