Our beloved Clovis Barry Begley, commonly known as Cody, went to be with the Lord on June 8th, 2023. He passed away in his Stockton, CA home with his wife and love of his life Linda by his side. Cody was 82 years old.
Cody was born to Clifton and Hazel Begley on July 5th, 1940, in Glendale CA. Those around him were blessed by his sense of humor, his strong Christian faith, his passion for animals as well as his amazing "green thumb."

Cody graduated with a BS from Cal Poly Pomona in 1964, followed by an MPA from CSU Stanislaus in 1978. Throughout his life Cody worked numerous jobs before retiring as a Registered Environmental Health Specialist for Cal EPA (IWMB) in 2002. His most recent role was Supervisor of the Waste Tire Program.
He is survived by his Wife Linda; Children, Suzanne Griggs, and Keri (Richard) Valles; Grandchildren, Dana (Tim) Sovinec, Richard (Maria) Valles Jr., Benjamin (Megan) Griggs, and Danielle Valles; Great-Grandchildren, Geneva Sovinec, Logan Sovinec, Rogan Griggs, Bryson Griggs, Gabriela Valles, Scarlet Griggs, and Richard Valles III; Siblings, Clifton (Wanda) Begley, Karen (Alan) Rose and Suzanne Alexander; and many Nieces and Nephews.
