Cody C. Wickens

Cody Charles Wickens, a very loving person with a large heart for others, died unexpectedly September 24, 2018.  Cody, 34, was born January 29, 1984 in Charlotte to Loreen (Griffin) and David Wickens. As he grew up, everyone knew Cody as a very strong-willed and relentless young man when he found something he wanted to do. Cody proved despite any limitations others thought he had, that he could persevere on many levels. He enjoyed glass etching (which he developed into a craft business), woodworking, fishing, hunting, and had a fond curiosity about airplanes and electrical systems. Generous and caring, he was a good uncle and son, and lived a life looking for ways to be giving.  He loved his family, and his service dog, Shadow.

Cody is survived by his mother, Loreen Wickens (Daryl Brodbeck); father, David (Vicki) Wickens; sister, Mandy (Matthew) Grosshans; niece, Faith Wickens; nephews, Austin Wickens and Gavin Grosshans; uncles, Blake (Jane) Griffin, Lynn Griffin, and Loren (Debra) Griffin; aunts, Belinda (James) Gould, Brenda (AC) Griffin-Bradley, Linda Whipple, and Peggy (Jeff) Mariucci; and many cousins.

He was predeceased by step-brother, Curtis Harris; grandparents, Thais Griffin, Dexter Griffin, Ronald and Nancy Wickens; and aunt, Debra Delong.

Funeral services were held Friday, September 28, at 2 p.m., with Pastor Rocky Spear officiating. Visitation was held two hours prior to the service on Friday, September 28, from noon to 2 p.m.

If desired, the family suggests memorial contributions to Epilepsy Discovery Fund at The University of Michigan.
