I knew Jody back in school. He was the kindest, nicest, person. From what I have read recently, this never changed. People that knew him were blessed for it. My husband and I send our deepest condolences for their grief. Jody was a hero to me. As an RN for many years, I had several patients that suffered his diagnosis. He faced it with grace, determination and strength. He lived longer than anyone I've know with the diagnosis. I told him several times that he was a miracle. Good fight, Jody. Now, rest. Kathy and Bryan

I only met Jody once, at his Mom and Dad's house. But, he was immediately likeable, and had a wonderful quiet peaceful nature. He had a nice, soft smile, and enjoyed laughter. He was a pretty good little singer, too. My Mom always says that when The Good Lord gets ready for you, he will simply take you, whether you're washing dishes in the kitchen, or skydiving. God knows why, when, and decides the exact moment we come into this world, and he also has long known the exact moment when he will call us from this Earth. God Bless you, Jody, and the entire Nunnally family. You were a nice guy, and will really be missed. Your pal, Merlin Grigsby, Hendersonville, Tennessee

"and he never did look upon death with any degree of terror, for his hope and views of Christ and the resurrection; therefore, death was swallowed up to him by the victory of Christ over it. (Taken from the Book of Mormon, Alma 27:28)
