Christopher “Cody” Humphrey, 39, of Ohatchee, AL, passed away on October 25, 2023. Cody was a very outgoing and funny person who was often misunderstood. He had a huge heart underneath all his toughness and was known to be the life of the party. He had many friends from around the US and cherished his twins, Ollie and Tatum, more than anything.

Cody is survived by his children, Ollie and Tatum Humphrey, his father and mother, John and Cindy Humphrey, his sisters Kasey (Luke) Weaver and Brandi Abernathy, and the mother of his children, Kaley Thrower. He is also survived by his grandmothers, Mary (Harry) Garrett and Linda Hale, his nephew Jayden Abernathy, and his nieces Kensley Abernathy, Emery and Esmae Weaver. As well as his maternal mother, Allison Dennis. He was preceded in death by his grandparents Floyd Hale, Linda M. Hale, Billy Mitchell, Mary Dennis and Risdon Franklin Dennis.
