The Post Office manager and mail handler who was shot and killed on Sunday night by a disgruntled employee left behind two sons and his wife of six years.

His family said, "Cody had a heart of gold and was the kind of man who would do anything for anyone. He was an amazing father to his two boys, a devoted husband to his wife of six years, Brittany Dobbins Ransom, and a son no parents could be prouder of. All those who knew and loved him will surely miss Cody’s smile, laughter and heart."
