Cody Jay Bundy was born on December 11, 1993, in Windom, MN. From the age of 5, Cody lived on a farm south of Balaton, Mn. He attended school in Balaton and then in Tracy, graduating in May of 2012. Cody loved the outdoors, animals and people. Whether he was riding a horse or a four wheeler, driving a tractor or a combine, he did all of these things with a passion. His calm demeanor and love of animals made it easy for him to work with them. Many times he sorted, moved and loaded cattle all by himself. His favorite horse, Dana, was blinded from a kick to her eye, but he still rode her as they learned together her limitations. Animals who needed a home found their way to the farm. Friends found their way there too. Some just coming to hang out, some to live for a while. His heart was big and he was always helping out the less fortunate or anyone who needed help. He helped people with chores, farming, construction, snow removal, barn cleaning and moving. Cody wasn’t afraid to help anyone who needed it, no matter the task. His smile, twinkling blue eyes, sense of humor, and hugs will be greatly missed. Cody died on Saturday, February 28, 2015, on his property as the result of an automobile accident. He is survived by his dad, David and mom, Peggy, sister Angel Francis Bundy, brother Doug (and Amy) nephews Zander DeGreef and Braxton Bundy, special friend Brianna Curry and her daughter, Letty, grandparents Virginia Yearous, Dean Bundy and Beverly Winther, many aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family and friends.
