We are extremely saddened to announce the untimely passing of our beloved Cody Ward Jedwabny,
29 years old, on December 29th in Appleton Wisconsin.
Cody was born on December 28th in 1990 to Brian and Kathy Jedwabny. He lived the majority of his life in Lebanon Indiana, but had moved to Appleton in 2018. He was a fabulous chef who was employed through St. Elizabeth’s Hospital – where he was loved by all who met him.
Cody was an avid outdoorsman who especially enjoyed fishing and hunting with his dad, grandfather, uncles and cousins. His sense of humor and beautiful smile were contagious; and he had a personality that drew everyone to him. He was a lifetime Green Bay Packer fan who proudly wore his green and gold. Cody had a tender heart full of a deep love for all of his family members and friends.
Cody’s daughter, Kayden, was the world to him. He was the best father any little girl could ever dream of having.
He and Kayden were like one soul in two bodies. They had so much fun laughing, dancing, playing, painting
fingernails, nighty night snuggles, taking selfies, eating bowls of ice cream and loving doggies.
He is survived by his wife Emily Jedwabny (Wolff) whom he married on June 23, 2018.
Cody’s parents are Brian and Kathy Jedwabny of Lebanon IN. His brother is Justin Ellis and wife Jess and

Bruce and Dirlena Jedwabny, Jean Ann and Randy Almus, and Brad and Wendi Jedwabny – all of Kaukauna WI
– Mike and Kim Cline, Carol and Mike Cunningham, Junior and Laura Tucker, and Rick Cline – all of Lebanon IN.
His brother-in-law Matt Wolff, wife Alex, and daughter Charlie, sister-in-law Rachel Wolff, and in-laws John and
Angie Wolff all of Martinsville, IN.
