Cody David Beckstead
8/31/1978 ~ 9/13/2011
Our most precious son, brother and best friend passed away on September 13, 2011. He will be missed dearly by the many who love him.
Cody was born on August 31, 1978 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Martin D. and Deborah L. Beckstead. He graduated from Alta High the Class of ’96 and then joined the U.S. Marine Corps where he proudly served his country for 8 years. Cody was very bright and an essential part of his family’s business, Bestway Products Co. Cody lived for the winter and enjoyed snowboarding and snowmobiling. He had a great appreciation for the outdoors and would spend the summers hiking and camping with his girlfriend, Jade Gundry. Cody was the go-to guy for any computer-related issue and was very technically inclined. He had a deep affection for his dog Boots, his “little buddy.” He was a tender-hearted man who genuinely cared about others and gave of himself freely to anyone in need.
He leaves behind his father and mother; his brother and best-friend Casey; Grandmother Gloria Christenson; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Friends are invited to a Celebration of Cody’s Life on Saturday, September 24th from 6:00 until 8:00 PM at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 South 900 East, Salt Lake City.
