It is with profound sorrow that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of Cody Collins, a devoted husband, cherished friend, and respected member of the Knoxville community. Cody tragically lost his life in a car accident, leaving family, friends, and colleagues mourning the loss of a man whose presence brought joy, warmth, and unwavering dedication to all who knew him.
Cody served as Head of Maintenance at Townsend Woods, where his hard work, integrity, and dependability made him an invaluable member of the team. Beyond his professional accomplishments, he was a man of deep kindness, loyalty, and love—someone whose character left a lasting impression on everyone around him.
A proud graduate of Leominster High School, Cody carried the values of dedication, compassion, and perseverance throughout his life. He was a devoted husband, a supportive friend, and a presence whose warmth and humor will be profoundly missed. His wife shared, “I’ve loved Cody with my entire heart and soul since the day I met him. Rest easy, my love.”
Arrangements have been made at Mynatt Funeral Home in Halls. Viewing for friends and family will take place on Friday, with the funeral service following on Saturday. Official details will be shared by the funeral home as they become available.
In remembering Cody, we find comfort in the words of Scripture:
“When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: ‘Death has been swallowed up in victory.’ ‘Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?'” – 1 Corinthians 15:54-55
Cody Collins’ life was defined by love, devotion, and service to others. Though his time with us was far too brief, the impact he made on his family, friends, and community will endure. His memory will continue to inspire those who knew him to live with kindness, integrity, and compassion.
Rest in peace, Cody Collins.
Your love, laughter, and light will remain forever in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing you.
