Tribute / Story
: Looks like Jody had lots of people that he hang around with and loved him. I am surprised no one from the genealogy world has contributed their stories. Maybe they just have not found this page yet.
I met Jody when working on the Carroll County Heritage Book in 1993-1994. I could not believe he was so young to have so much knowledge of his family heritage. It takes years of research to accumulate a family group sheet book that he carried around. To this day I still envy him and think of that book every time I think of him. He accomplished, at the age of 16, what I still haven't did in over 20 years. With the modern tech. of computers and genealogy programs, it is easier to keep up with families now than it was back in 1993 but I still don't have those pedigree charts all in one book that I can show to people and probably never will.
I am sure since Jody's death that he has been able to question all those relatives in heaven and find out more than he ever though he would. His memory will alway be alive in Carroll County because you can visit the genealogy clubs library and find a copy of Jody's pedigree book there. I can point it out at a distance without having to go pick it up to make sure it is the right one.
I still have hopes of creating my own, and if I ever get around to it I will all ways think that Jody inspired me into it!

Tribute / Story
: I've visited this web site a few times since I learned of Jody's passing, but could not muster the words to express how I felt. It's great to see so many of our brothers who have taken the time to share their stories...
Jody and I were the only two collegiate guys in the Pi pledge class -- there were a bunch of girls, mind you! -- so, Jody and I watched each other's back that semester. Our friendship only got stronger from there and the memories are countless.
Jody, you are sorely missed, buddy, and there is no replacement who could fill the void you have left. Take care my friend...

Tribute / Story
: Jody
I miss you buddy and send my thoughts and prayers to you and your family. He is the one of truest friend you could ever meet and know. He is someone really special, somone who you could trust your soul with and you knew he would always be there for you no matter what.
One of my best memories with him was when we went to Myrtle beach, and how he told me how he loved being near the ocean. He didn't care about the frills and distractions there, just sitting on the warm sand and enjoying the breeze and watching the waves crash back and forth. We shared the same feelings about being there and could sit there for hours being content.
Everytime i go to the beach now, it's hard not to think of him and wishing he was there too.
I also wanted to add how much i appreciated him bringing everyone from axe and his family to my restaurant. It was an honor being his friend...

Tribute / Story
: On Sunday, Chris helped me move my desk from the townhouse to the apartment. He said, "Do you believe it has been a year?" It seems so unbelieveable to me that it has been a year since we all gathered filled with so much grief. I like to believe that it doesn't feel like a year because Jody has really been with us all along. I have absolutely no doubt that he gathered at each and every tailgate to help us celebrate the victories and console us in our losses. And, he was doing the chicken dance at Brent's wedding. Jody's death really reminds me of our own mortality. His passing is a sad reminder that we do not live forever. But, he seemed to so enjoy the time that he was here. I think the greatest leagacy that Jody leaves us is his love for life and his friends. Hopefully, each of us will carry a little of that throughout our lives. We love you, Jody!

: I can't believe its been a year. I still think about Jody a lot though. It’s just hard to believe that someone who was such a good friend to all of us and was always there for us just isn't there any more. I still mention him in conversation too. I guess I'd like to think that he is around, somewhere. And it helps to think about him when he was there, because that was the Jody we knew. Everyone's life is changing and we're moving further and further from our time at tech. And even though we're all moving on to bigger and better things, its nice to think back to the times we were all together. And it’s nice to know that Jody was a big part of that. Sometimes I wonder if others have what we have. It’s hard to come across such a tight group of people. I am very glad that Jody was, and still continues to be part of something so special.
