Life Story for
Private Willie Dozier Cody, Jr.

Willie Dozier Cody, Jr., a native of Madison, Florida, was born to Willie Mae Tice Cody and Willie Dozier Cody, Sr. on December 11, 1933. He received his education from the Madison County School System and graduated in the Class of 1953 from Madison County Training School. Because career opportunities for him were limited, he opted to enlist in the United States Army later that year. He was honorably discharged after serving two years of active duty.

Willie relocated to Toledo, Ohio and enrolled in Davis Business College before he began his career as a civil servant. He worked more than 30 years for the United States Postal Service until he retired and returned to his hometown.

Fulfilling his promise to serve the Lord with gladness, Willie joined Genesis Missionary Baptist Church where he faithfully served on the Trustee Board.

Among his many pastime enjoyments were bowling, basketball, billiards, and spending time with his McDonald's friends.

Willie D. Cody answered the Master's call on March 19, 2021, and relocated to his heavenly home over in Zion where he can serve Him forever.

Cherishing his forever memory are his loving brother: Freddy Cody; his devoted special friend: Deloris M. Jones; his extended Jones family; his McDonald's friends, and a host of loving cousins, and other sorrowing and loving friends.

"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.- 1 Corinthians 15:55-57
