Cody Risk Memorial Patterson 219

Donation protected
Cody Risk 26 years old of Wellington, CO was one of the 5 men that unfortunately did not survive the tragic accident on Patterson  219.
He leaves behind 3 children one of which lived with him and the other two that live with there mom, and his mom Leslie and his dad Carl all of which he loved with all his heart and soul. This is very heartbreaking and tragic news. Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved in this tragic event, as well as all of the first responders, etc.  Especially the families of the 5 missing guys. 

We we are a friend of the family and have been for years. As I am sure that you all understand that the family of Cody Risk needs one less worry. We were asked by his mom and dad we have set this account of for the costs of everything and hopefully enough to be able to help the family during this very difficult time. All money earned on this will go directly to his mom and dad for the memorial and his three children.

NOTE: This is the only gofundme for Cody Risk!! I set this up for Carl and Leslie because they asked me to help them. I have zero access to the money. ZERO! His dad is the beneficiary! This is set up for ALL 3 kids and memorial expenses!!

Roughneck Prayer
The roughneck stood and faced his God, Which we all must come to do.
He hoped his boots weren't too dirty to get his pass on through.
Step forward now roughneck, How shall I deal with you?
To my church have U been true?
The roughneck squared his shoulders and said "No Lord, I guess I ain't, because those of us who wear a hardhat can't always be a saint."
I've worked most Sundays, and at times my walk was rough, and sometimes I've been violent because the rigs are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny that wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime when the bills got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help, though at times I shook with fear.
And God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here.
They never wanted me around I usually caused fear.
If you've a place for me here Lord, it needn't be grand.
I never expected or had too much, but if U don't I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne where the saints often trod.
As the roughneck waited for the judgement of his God.
"Step forward now roughneck, you've borne your burdens well.
Come work a hitch on Heaven's street, You've done your time in hell"
(Thank you to whomever wrote and posted this this poem!)
