Remembering Cody Mullins: A Gentle Soul

Cody Austin Mullins, born on July 23, 1996, was a quiet yet deeply caring soul who left a lasting impact on those fortunate enough to know him. He passed away on May 15, 2024, under circumstances that remain unknown. Cody's personality was as rich as the colors he loved—especially red—and as vibrant as his favorite meals, from spicy dishes to steak, stuffed peppers, spaghetti, and pizza. He had a sweet spot for Mountain Dew and never turned down a good Sci-Fi movie like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, or Star Wars.

Though Cody wasn't into exercising, he found joy in the simpler pleasures, like playing video games and spending time at home—his favorite place in the world. Home, for Cody, wasn't just a place; it was where his heart was, with his family. His protective nature showed how deeply he loved them, always putting their needs first.

Cody had a way about him that made him stand out, an "old soul" with the manners of a true gentleman. He was the kind of person who’d open doors for others and go out of his way to help. Once, he assisted an elderly woman with her groceries, and when she offered to pay him, he kindly declined. His patience and quiet strength were evident in everything he did.

A proud graduate of Wellston High School in 2014, Cody later joined the U.S. Army in 2017, where he began his service at Fort Benning, GA. His commitment to his country reflected the loyalty and dedication that defined his character.

Cody’s love for life, family, and simple pleasures will forever be remembered. He may be gone, but the memories of his kindness, humor, and deep love for those around him will live on.
