THE family of a young man killed while driving drunk has called him a \u201cdumbass\u201d in a brutally honest obituary.<\/p>\n
Cody James Holland, 25, from New York, died on Saturday after crashing his car while inebriated and not wearing his seat belt, his relatives said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
His mother Colleen Lynch says she hopes the straight-talking obituary will stop others from making the same mistakes he did.<\/p>\n
The death notice reads: \u201cCody James left us on August 8, 2020, as a result of injuries sustained from being a dumb ass.<\/p>\n
"He drank, drove, and didn\u2019t wear his seat belt! Please, don\u2019t be a dumb ass!\u201d<\/p>\n
The obit also describes the correctional officer as someone who "loved his middle finger and showing his butt to the world\u201d.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the unconventional death notice, his mum wrote on Facebook: \u201cI'm sorry if you don't feel this was appropriate but it was hard and it is honest.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love this child more than anyone can even imagine. My beautiful, smart, handsome boy.. I called him a dumb ass because he was doing dumb ass things.<\/p>\n
"If this obituary makes even ONE person rethink drinking and driving then I have no regrets."<\/p>\n
Cody James' aunt Trisha Culligan wrote that she hopes his passing "saves another family the same heartbreak".<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She said: "Don\u2019t drink and drive…CALL someone! It takes a village!<\/p>\n
"Share this horrible example with your teenagers and young adults especially. If this changes even just one life, it\u2019s worth it!"<\/p>\n
She added the 25-year-old's obituary reflected "about who HE was\u201d and admitted the family is "grieving in different ways\u201d.<\/p>\n
The obit did pay tribute to Cody saying he was someone who "loved with his whole heart".<\/p>\n
His relatives said his interests included "his trucks, his motorcycle, his dog, his girl, his guns, huntin\u2019 and fishin\u2019 with his friends and family".<\/p>\n
The obit added: \u201cTough guy with a big heart! Friend to most, hater to some. Cody loved his family, both biological and those he selected to be his family.\u201d<\/p>\n
