On behalf of the Cody family, we are heartbroken to share that Rich passed away, with Linda by his side, on Friday, November 15th, 2025. His loss has left an emptiness in the lives of everyone that loved him, most deeply his beloved wife Linda, their three children, Stacy, Rob, Steph, and their beloved grandchildren.

Rich and Linda, originally from Minnesota, made a life in Tennessee with two of their three children and grandchildren eventually joining them. With his unexpected passing, we are hoping to ease Linda's heartbreak and financial burden by contributing to Rich's final expenses.

A visitation will be held at The Hermitage Funeral Home and Memorial Gardens, Friday, December 5th, from 4:00pm-6:00pm.
