Bryan Keith Cody, age 51, passed away Monday, August 5, 2024, following an extended illness.

Bryan was born in Franklin to the late C.L. Cody and Amy Sue Ledford Cody. He proudly served in the United States Army and the National Guard with several overseas posts. Bryan spent countless hours working hard to provide for his family. He worked hard, but he also played hard. Bryan enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, and dirt track racing.

He was an active member of Black Mountain Baptist Church.

Bryan had a love of life and shared that joy with others through cutting up and being a goofball.

He was a wonderful husband, an exceptional father, and a loving neighbor.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by an infant brother, Tony; and his previous and loving wife, Alicia Cabe Cody.

Bryan is survived by his wife, Tami Cody; two sons, Braden Cody and Cameron Cody; stepchildren, Kaitlyn Shepard, Timothy Stevens, and Cassie McMahan; sister, Donna Sue Bryson (Mike); "bonus family," Doug and Barbara Cabe, and Brent and Christina Cabe; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.

The family will receive friends from 6-8:00 P.M. Wednesday August 7th at the funeral home.

A celebration of Bryan's life will take place at 11:00 A.M. Thursday, August 8, 2024, in the Chapel of Macon Funeral Home. Interment will follow in Woodlawn Cemetery.
