To all of Cody’s followers on JCT Woodshop, I am heartbroken to announce Cody’s passing on Saturday, October 9th.
Cody started woodworking only a few short years ago. He was dedicated to mastering his craft and learned everything he could from other woodworkers, YouTube videos, and classes. He spent hours in the shop learning how to make live edge tables, pour epoxy perfectly without bubbles, and designing charcuterie boards.
He turned our garage into a woodshop, building a custom work station for his saw and planer. He would come into the house so excited about a piece he just created, leaving a trail of sawdust—or “man glitter” as he called it—behind. Cody was the most generous person, donating boards to fundraisers and charities, and raffling off boards to raise money for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.
For those who never met Cody in person, he was kind, loving, silly, creative, and wonderful. If anyone would like to attend, I will share details about funeral services in the comments.
If you had an open order with Cody, please send a message to JCT Woodshop and I will respond in the next few weeks. His inventory will be closed for now—no new sales.
Please remember him always. Fire up those saws and planers one last time for my guy.
With love,
Cody’s wife, Jen Thompson
