Cody A. Welch, 21, of Crystal Lake, died from injuries suffered in an auto accident on Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2012.
He graduated from Jacobs High School in 2009, where he played on the Golden Eagles football team. Although his life on earth was short, he had many, many friends and was an avid Packers fan and enjoyed frolfing (frisbee golfing). He also enjoyed listening to music.
He was the best friend a person could have. He had a large heart and would help someone else at the expense of himself. When he entered a room, he was the bright smile that lifted many spirits. He had a very funny sense of humor. He was the best brother to his own sister and brother, but most of all was the most magical and amazing son ever. His mother's heart will never be whole again. She will love him forever and always.
He is survived by his parents; sister, MacKenna Arrington; brother, Zachary Welch; his grandparents, John and Alice McCoy and Dave and Terri Welch and Shirley Arrington of Kentucky; and great-grandfather, Wesley Sterne; uncles, Jeffrey McCoy and David Welch; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends, especially Jamie Staedter and Danny White.
He was preceded in death by his great-grandmothers, Helen Podals and Jackie Sterne.
