Notes:

Cody Austin Brommer, 21, of Columbia City, Ind. passed away at 7:37 p.m. on Friday, January 16, 2015 at Parkview Regional Medical Center, Fort Wayne. He was born several weeks early, but weighed over eight pounds on August 13, 1993 at Lutheran Hospital, Fort Wayne, the son of Randall Joseph and Julie LuAnn (Pelfrey) Brommer.

Cody grew up on his family farm and quickly developed a love for farming, tractors and nature and all they had to offer. Cody loved playing with Legos and built many farms and race cars during his childhood. As a small boy he also loved action, power and the number "75" and those things never changed during his short 21 years.

He was an avid fan of truck and tractor pulls. He joined the Sodbusters Whitley County 4-H Club where he became a 10 year member showing cattle and pigs, but after that he continued to love and serve 4-H by becoming a member of the Derby Committee. He started out driving in the 4-H derby but wasn't very successful at winning, so he decided he was better building the car and allowing his sister, Lyndsey to drive it for him. But his most important thing in his racing career was that he was the #1 pick of his dad to take over his own race car in the future.

Cody graduated from Columbia City High School with the Class of 2012 where he played football as a linebacker but loved defense and his jersey was #63, the only time he wasn't a "75." He also maintained a perfect attendance for all years while in school and was on the honor roll and a member of FFA.

He was currently a Junior at Trine University studying engineering. He played football for two years for Trine. He worked in the maintenance department for the Town of South Whitley and also mowed lawns, baled hay and plowed snow for friends and neighbors. While he wasn't farming, mowing or at the 4-H grounds, he would be out hunting deer while in season.

Cody will always be remembered as helping other people, making the folks he was with laugh or picking on his "little sister" often sneaking up and shooting her with a Nerf gun or pulling numerous practical jokes on her. Even though he was always picking on Lyndsey, no one else would ever dare hurt her.

The family took a memorable trip as a family to Walt Disney World in Florida and he went to Cedar Point as often as possible, even though he couldn't go on many rides because of football head injuries and a head injury in the family barn, he loved the experience and the sites.

He was a member of Grace Lutheran Church.

In death Cody continues to give and help others by being an organ donor.

Among survivors include his parents, Randy and Julie Brommer, Columbia City; sister, Lyndsey Renee' Brommer, Columbia City; paternal grandmother, Shirley Brommer, Columbia City; maternal grandparents, Herbert and Gloria Pelfrey, Columbia City; aunts and uncles including, Janell (Steve) Wood, Columbia City, Steven "Uncle Monkey" (Stephanie) Brommer, Columbia City and Stephanie (Brian) Brazel, Cromwell; also numerous cousins. He is preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Steve Brommer.

Visitation will be held on Friday, January 23, 2015 from 2-8:00 p.m. at DeMoney-Grimes, a Life Story Funeral Home, 600 Countryside Drive, Columbia City. Funeral service will be held on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, January 24, 2015 at Grace Lutheran Church, 204 North Main Street, Columbia City with one hour of visitation at the church prior to the hour of service. Pastor Matthew Converse will be officiating. Burial will follow at St. Catherine's Catholic Church, Nix Settlement, rural Columbia City.

Memorial gifts may be given in Cody's memory to his sister's Educational Fund. Gifts may be made out to Randy and/or Julie Brommer. Visit www.DeMoneyGrimes.com to send the family on-line condolences.
