Cody Johnson

Cody James Johnson, 32, of Bigelow AR left us on October 27, 2023, Cody was born on February 13,1991, 3 1/2 weeks early. Cody chose his own time for coming into this world and leaving it. Cody graduated from Bigelow High School in 2009. Even though he was amazing at sports, and so much smarter than his grades showed, he wanted to be a Marine. Unfortunately, an ankle injury cut that dream short during his SOI training and he was medically discharged. He was employed at NexGen Controls and Systems in Conway. Cody loved this work as it was what he had gone to ITT tech briefly to learn. This job challenged him mentally and let him work with his hands.
Cody did not have a church affiliate, but he knew and loved our Lord, Jesus Christ and was a Christian.
