Cody Neece
June 28, 2000 — January 22, 2022
Cody Neece, age 21, of Thornville, Ohio was received by Jesus on Saturday, January 22, 2022. Cody was born June 28, 2000 in Lancaster, Ohio. He was a Fairfield Union Falcon having attended Fairfield Union before attending Sheridan High School his junior and senior year, graduating in 2019. He was the farm manager and equipment operator at Hickory Valley Sod Farm in Bremen, Ohio.
He is survived by his parents; Norman Douglas and Bobbie Jo Neece; sister, Samantha (Nathan Longnecker) Neece; and the absolute love of his life, Lilliana Young (her parents, Brian and Angi Young and her brother, Gianni Young); paternal grandmother, Madeline Neece; maternal grandmother, Naomi A. Barney; grandparents, Loren and Linda Young; Nick Marinnaci and Auntie G; great-aunt, Sue May; uncles, Gene (Gina) Barney and Jeremy (Stefani) Barney; very close family friends, Bruce, Annie and Mason; several cousins, great aunts and uncles; and too many friends to name. He was preceded in death by his grandpa, Norman Neece; grandpa, Gary Barney; and Uncle Bill May.
Cody grew up wrestling, starting at age 5. He was coached by his father and wrestled for Fairfield Union and Sheridan High School. He started his secondary sport, baseball, at a young age and played catcher. He played for Fairfield Union High School. He received many awards for wrestling and his baseball teams. Cody was a proud member of the Fairfield Union and Sheridan FFA. Cody’s passion was found in a tree stand, with a fishing pole in his hand or sitting in his PC210 Komatsu. Cody was a very happy person and was fun to be around. He is sadly missed by his family, fiance’ and many, many friends. Cody was an avid sportsman. He loved his dog, Duke, who became the family pet at his parents home with his sister, Samantha and his dog, Rip, whom he shared with Lilli. Cody also loved country music and liked attending songfest at church. He was a very good singer himself but shyed away from his talent. Cody always had a warm smile for everyone, that’s not to say he didn’t have a bit of a temper at times.
A visitation will take place Friday, January 28th from 4 – 7 PM at Oakthorpe Church, 6075 Oakthorpe Rd, NE, Thornville, Ohio. A Celebration of his life will be held immediately following at 7 PM in the church with his cousin, Chris “Buster” Neece officiating. Many prayers for his family and fiance’ are requested and very much appreciated. Online condolences at www.morganfuneralhomeohio.com
Cody Neece will be missed forever. His Valley will remain protected by him always. The Rip Wheeler of Hickory Valley remains; forever his Yellowstone.
