Jody received his Basic Law Enforcement Training Certification after completing his schooling at Cape Fear Community College. He graduated from Pender High School in 1990 and was a member of the class of 1990. It was said that Jody was a “jack of all trades” since he was able to accomplish almost whatever he set his mind to. He was a man of many abilities. He worked for the Pender County Sheriff Department for a total of 23 years, ultimately reaching the rank of Sergeant in his legal career.
He had been employed by Pender Plumbing for seven years, and at the time of this writing, he was serving as the Director of Engineering for the Aloft Hotel located around Wilmington Coastline Centre. Because Jody was an entrepreneur, he launched a number of small local enterprises in addition to his normal work. These firms were intended to contribute to the expansion of the Atkinson community.
Jody had a strong commitment to involvement in the community. He served as an Alderman for the Town of Atkinson for one term and was a member of the Atkinson Volunteer Fire Department for a number of years. He had a passion for fishing and hunting, and he treasured the time he spent outside in the natural world that God had created. Jody was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need, and she never got the chance to meet a stranger. In the end, and most importantly, Jody had a deep affection for his family. He was a gentle and devoted friend to a great number of people, and he will be sorely missed.
