Introduction
On April 12, 1989, in Corvallis, Oregon, a baby boy was born. Everyone immediately fell in
love with that boy, and his mom named him Cody James Patterson. He was a healthy baby boy, and he
was born with not just love from everyone, but love for everyone as well. Cody had 5 siblings and a
nephew. He was an amazing, courageous, brave, and kind person. He inspired people to be like him,
and that’s one of the things that’s going to make the world a better place. It’s impossible to find
someone who did not like Cody, because he was better than any average human being. He worked with
all kinds of people, and he had patience and compassion for each and every one of them. Cody has
many stories recorded in his book of life.
