He graduated from the Penobscot Job Corp Center, Bangor Me, in July of 2018 with various certifications. Cody worked primarily in the hospitality and retail field. Cody was a very nurturing young man, loved animals, children, and always looked out for the 'little guy'. He was a big gamer, preferred retro games and systems rather than the newer generation, and he was an avid reader. Cody had a wide range of interests ranging from Greek mythology to marvel super hero's and horror flicks to My Little Pony. He was very passionate about his family and friends. He put those he loved above himself and would ensure their safety, happiness, and well-being before his own. He was a rock and solid foundation for his family. He was predeceased by his maternal grandmother Joan Perkins, Uncle Scott Perkins, and Great Uncle Ralph Perkins. And over the rainbow bridge is sweet Lilly.
