Cody was born in Gillette, Wyoming on September 25, 1975. He attended school in McIntosh, SD, and graduated from Bismarck High School. After serving in the Marine Corps, Cody attended college at North Dakota State University where he met and married his wife, Kimberly. Cody graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a degree in geology. He worked as a well-site geologist on Alaska's North Slope.
He was devoted to his family and friends and lived every moment as if it were his last. He sought adventure and loved hunting, fishing, and being outdoors when he wasn’t working on his jeep or riding. His children idolize him, and he loved every moment he had with them. Strength radiated from Cody throughout his life, and he made all those around him feel safe and protected. His smile and laughter will forever be in their hearts. He is greatly loved and was taken from this world too soon.
Other survivors include Cody's parents, Clarence Jacobs and Marjean Schwehr, both of Bismarck; brothers and sisters: Desiree (Dan) Slatkin, Jake (Jennifer) Jacobs, Harley Jacobs, Rosann Jacobs-Fode (Shaun), Sally Jacobs and Chris Jacobs; and many nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, and cousins.
