Jody was a hard worker and extremely dedicated to whatever job he held. He proudly served our country in the United States Army and the National Guard. He did two tours in Iraq and was there at the taking down of Sadam Hussein. He was honorably discharged and the recipient of many medals and badges. He then returned  to the job he had right out of high school, working in the Meat Department as a meat cutter at United Supermarket in Plainview. He was offered the Meat Market manager position at the United Supermarket Store in Amarillo, where he lived until recently. He was able to come back to Plainview when he was offered the position as Meat Market manager at the Plainview United Supermarket store, where he became suddenly ill.

Jody loved to fish, he loved his family, and he loved his beloved cat, "Red Foot." Jody had a heart of gold and was always willing to lend a helping hand to his family when needed. He will be so missed.
