Cody Corbin Sallee

Cody Corbin Sallee, age 31, of Tipton, passed away on Tuesday, October 22, 2024.

Cody was born on August 28, 1993, to his parents, Jerry Orville Sallee Jr. and Laurie Ann Hood. He attended Tipton High School and graduated in the class of 2011. Cody had worked for the Craft Beer distribution company in Indianapolis, and really enjoyed his job.

Cody was a kindhearted, gentle spirited person. He was someone who always made others feel welcome and accepted. His demeanor was typically quiet, but his actions of care for those around him spoke volumes of the man he was. Cody was incredibly dependable for his loved ones and could usually make his family laugh. In Cody’s spare time you may have found him gaming or cooking. He had also recently become a skilled blacksmith. More than anything, Cody enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He will be missed beyond measure!

Those left to carry on Cody’s legacy of love are his father, Jerry Orville Sallee Jr.; siblings, Chloe Sallee, Caiden McNew, Allan McNew; grandparents, Jerry & Brenda Sallee; great grandma, Lucille Lorenz; aunt, Angela (Edward) Faubert; cousins, Karissa Jones, Wyatt Jones; ex-wife and friend, Elizabeth “Biz” Bates; best friend, Jack Mattingly; many great aunts, uncles, cousins; and beloved cat, Jaz.

Cody was preceded in death by his mother, Laurie Hood; and great grandparents, Orville & Celestine Sallee.

Out of respect for Cody’s wishes, no formal services will be held.

Taylor & Cowan Funeral Home is honored to serve the Sallee family in their time of need.
