Cody Duane Hansen was born January 31, 1991, in Salt Lake City, Utah to Shaun and Sharla Hansen. He returned to his loving Heavenly Father, March 2nd, 2019. Cody had three siblings; older brother, Garren, older sister, Shirelle, and younger sister, Madilynn.
He was married to Shelby Carter and together they had beautiful, Wyatt. Both were his whole world. He was surrounded by lots of loving in-laws, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and nieces and nephews whom all adored him.
Cody and Madilynn were rarely seen apart and they loved more than anything to hang out with their cousins, especially those close in age: Kade and Brock. Cody found many wonderful friends in life, everyone who knew him loved him. Throughout his life Cody loved bikes of any kind.
He loved his prized possession, his Harley Davidson, and he loved to let Wyatt and all his nieces and nephews sit on his bike with him. Shirelle loved to have Cody stop by to use tools to fix his bikes in her driveway. She loved that she could always hear his bikes coming from all the way down the street – her neighbors maybe not so much!
As a little boy Cody was always conning Madilynn into picking a dirt bike for her toy so he could get two dirt bikes when mom would let them pick a toy. He still owns his large collection of toy dirt bikes. Cody was fearless, he never steered away from a challenge and he was always quick to use Madilynn as his test dummy for his contraptions.
We aren’t sure why she couldn’t to oblige. From early on Garren and Cody could always be found repainting and customizing their matchbox cars, and lighting off firecrackers in some sort of fashion in the yard. Garren and Cody loved to play PlayStation together.
If they disappeared at a family party it was pretty much guaranteed they had a game going somewhere. Cody loved to go fishing with Mom and Dad and he was famous for borrowing Mom’s sunglasses. Whenever she wanted them back his response was always that they were at the bottom of the lake.
He never could figure out how to keep them on his face. He was always using candy on the end of his pole to try and catch something – it rarely worked for him. Cody loved to go hunting with Dad and take motorhome trips with all of us, despite the fact that he always got carsick.
We inherited many of Grandpa’s maps after Cody got sick on them. Cody loved to be in the gym all the time – he never missed it, and he loved to wrestle. He was an accomplished wrestler at Riverton High and he loved to wrestle with Wyatt.
Cody had a room dedicated entirely to his large collection of baseball hats, and belt buckles. He loved horses and he never turned away from a horse, even when they would buck him off. He would just bounce back on.
Cody loved to dance in the family room with Shelby and watch movies with her. He loved to wrestle around with Wyatt and play outside in his trucks with him. A private family memorial will be held in honor of Cody.
