Just got word that him and his father were in a bad wreck and have both passed away. Very sad news. Thoughts and prayers for the family. Some might remember Cody riding a 250 2-stroke for nationals recently. RIP Cody.

I couldn't find anything on this. If true, that is awful and prayers sent to the family

This is all second hand info..
Heard they were on their way to GNCC race and blew a tire on the motor home. Motor home flipped and caught fire.. So tragic.
Also heard Cody was supposed to take over a fill-in ride for GNCC starting this week or next.

RIP Cody

Budds Creek 2015, in a mudder. Cody finished 16th overall, with moto finishes of 22nd and 13th. He got a huge boost of exposure from that race, which was coincidentally Stankdog's second race on the YZ125. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends.

If the tires were new and failed in some way. Or if where they were purchased pulled a fast one and sold tires that the build date had made them to old to sell I would have to sue someone if it was my family.

The fire will make it hard for sure to see build date on tires but paper work could have it .

It was most likely a front which kinda means it was operating normally because if it was low pressure caused you know it low because a motorhome tells you by bad handling if the tire is low.

Sooo sad and a terrifying way to go.

His dad Chris was a true character.
as already mentioned, he would do anything to help anybody.
Got to know him over the years from them attending my events and can't ever recall an issue that didn't involve a big grin.

A true loss for the mx and off road communities.

God man, you just never, never know what can happen...............what a horrible tragedy. So gutted for the family of these two guys, the pain must be beyond description when people are taken so unexpectedly like this.
I know it's cliche but don't leave anything on the table with your family, let everyone who matters know they're important and loved every time you see them or talk.

What to say. Thoughts to the family, words don't do justice to this. RIP.

Never met and have only followed on social media since that ride on the YZ in '15 but seemed like a real nice kid. And good kids generally have a good dad around.
