Just a note to let you and your family know you are in our thoughts and prayers....Take care of yourself and Khale.....xxoo
Heidi did not see you at the funeral home sorry for your loss. I know things are rough right know .Family and the Lord will see you through. Love Mark
Rudolph family you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Nothing I say can bring Jody back. Mom and dad you raised one hell of son. Jen you had the best brother anyone could of asked for. Heidi you married one of the greatest men I ever knew. If any of you need anything I am here for you. Love all of you. I feel blessed to even be able to call Jody a friend. He is truly a great guy. Would always make you laugh or smile no matter how bad your day was. Today was tough on me I can not even imagine what you guys are going through. See you again one day Jody.
As we heard of the passing of our friend we spent alot of our weekend quiet, looking at old pictures and processing the loss of a great guy who left this world way too soon! There are no words that we can say to ease your pain at this time. Jody will always be remembered for his "Cheshire Cat" smile that was contagious, even if you were having a bad day one look at Jody's smile and all was forgotten. There were times were a year would pass without talking to Jody, with all the hustle of life and kids but when you would see him everything always picked up were you left off. He was a friend to so many. Oh all the great memories in the Blazer, dam if that car could talk we would all be in trouble! lol :) Watching Jody on his wedding day, Heidi, you completed his circle full. He loved you so much. Every time he spoke of you he always had a smile. And now you have a piece of Jody in Khale that will forever live on. Barb, Darrel, and Jen we are so sorry for your loss. Jen you were a great sister and he thought so much of you. Barb, and Darrel you are the parents who showed him unconditional love, you stood by him through thick and thin and he had such respect for the both of you, and always spoke so highly of you both! There is not many people at the age of 37 who you can say lived life to the fullest, but with Jody we can. He made the most of each day and ALWAYS had that smile! He may be gone but will NEVER be forgotten!!! RIP dear friend!
I'm sorry for your loss! I lost my daughter almost 10 years ago from a car accident, and time only helps us cope! Even though I don't know even of you, I know this loss all to well! My prayers are with all of you!!! Again I'm so so sorry!
I have struggled for several days to find the right words to say to a family that helped shape my life as much as my own family, but the right words never seemed to come. Instead what comes are wonderful memories, long forgotten, of a silly 12-yr old Jody always in a ball cap and his parents who not only supported their children, but most of the children in New Haven. Know that in your time of need we are all here for you, and you raised a wonderful son.
Jody and I went to school together - he was such a sweet and funny guy. He will be missed! My heart aches for your family.
I am so sorry for your loss. I just heard about it today and I'm so sorry I'm just now sending this message. Heidi, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. If you need anything, please let me know.

Jody,
What can I say, I'll always be a fan. You always had a great sense of humor and a contagious smile. You were a son, a brother, a father, an uncle, a husband, and a friend. I will look for your smile in the afterlife, dear friend. Praying for you and your family.
We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God Bless you and be with you during this difficult time.
