Cody will also be lovingly remembered by his aunt and Godmother, Sue (Tom) Flynn; Godfather, Mike Scarpino; aunts and uncles, Tom (Angela) Tietz, Don (Pam) Tietz, Sue (Mike) Zoppa, and Buddy (Denise) Vaught. He will also be missed by many cousins.

The Tietz family will be forever grateful for the kindness of many including his amazing caregivers throughout the years, Janet, Beth, Bre, Brenda, Denna and Kay Lynn; the staff and pharmacists at the Jewel-Osco on Caton Farm and Rt 59 for relentlessly pursuing and coming through in providing timely prescriptions always; Dr. Rita Tamulis Shea, Dr. Thomas Moore, Dr. Peter Heydemann, Dr. Mary Keen and Dr. Randolph McConnie for the steady guidance, support and a shoulder to lean on.
