Obituary of Cody James Authur Widmer

Cody James Authur Widmer July 6, 1993 - June 14, 2015 The morning of Sunday, June 14, 2015 Cody was called home to the Lord. Cody was the loving son of Marjorie and Kerry Widmer and loving younger brother to Kalie Widmer. Born in Invermere and raised in the Valley, Cody loved his family and his friends. He spent every chance he had enjoying the outdoors; hiking, camping, fishing, quadding and driving "CODE RED" his beloved Dodge Ram pickup. Cody attended Windermere Elementary and graduated from David Thompson Secondary School in 2011. He did all those things our beautiful children do in this beautiful Valley…..he played hockey, soccer, basketball, baseball, skated on the lake and smiled…. a lot!! After graduation he worked throughout the Valley, in construction, mechanics and auto parts…..everyone loved him, his happy attitude and his amazing work ethic. More recently, Cody was living in Sylvan Lake and working in Blackfalds, Alberta as a pipefitter. In the fall, Cody was starting his apprenticeship in the Steamfitter/Pipefitter Program at the Red Deer College. He was so thrilled and excited about this new step in his life. Cody had a bright future ahead of him and had so many plans. However, the Lord Jesus has a greater plan in store for him. Cody was predeceased by his grandfathers, Arthur Widmer and Jim Statham. Cody is survived by his Mom and Dad and sister Kalie, his grandmothers Donna Widmer and Peggy Statham, numerous aunts, uncles and cousins as well as a great bunch of loving friends who meant the world to him. Everyone knows Cody had a huge heart….ironically it was his enlarged heart that just stopped beating, taking him peacefully home to the Lord. A celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, June 20, 2015 at 2:00 pm at the Lake Windermere Alliance Church. A tea will follow. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.
