Dakota Moore, lovingly known as Cody by his family and Slim by his friends, passed away on July 7, 2026, at the age of 30.

Born and raised in Greenville, Texas, Cody was known throughout the community by so many who loved and cared for him. All the while Cody was battling his own demons. He will be remembered for his kind heart and gentle spirit. He never met a stranger nor ever wished harm on anyone.

Cody was a son, brother, grandson, uncle, and friend. He found joy in the simple things in life, and anyone who knew him knew of his love for a cold Dr Pepper. His smile, sense of humor, and caring nature will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

He is survived by his mother, Amanda; his grandmother, Virginia; his aunt, Regina; his brothers and sisters, Toby, Jeremy, Ashley, and Ambrea; and his 13 beloved nieces and nephews, all of whom he loved dearly.

Cody was preceded in death by his grandfather, Billy, and his uncle, Billy Andrew.

Though his time with us was far too short, Cody’s memory will live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and the Greenville community that knew and loved him. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

The month of July is recognized globally as Bereaved Parents Awareness Month, a dedicated time to honor, support, and raise awareness for mothers and fathers who have endured the devastating loss of a child. And sometimes, we just don’t know what to say….

How to address and behave appropriately with Love & Integrity ….

Only parents who have lost their children understand how it feels to lose a child. Think before you speak to a bereaved parent and inadvertently saying something offensive like, Oh, yeah, you are ‘that’ Mom.

It’s ok to say the child’s name, as parents want to hear their child’s name spoken. Be the first to say their name and let the other person know it is okay for them to say their name too, as often, people are afraid they will upset the parent by talking about them. This allows for conversation and positive mental health healing.

Sharing stories of them with others soothes their parent’s hearts to know of their experiences with others.

The pain of a broken heart is real

To know what it means to have a broken heart, you actually feel your heart in pain, not a heart attack, but a dull ache that will last for a while. There are days where you feel your emotions overwhelm you.

Take time to live in the moment

Take the time to be in the moment. In random moments of tears, take time to stop, cry, and breathe. You will feel dysregulated in your emotions/feelings, like being on a rollercoaster, or riding a wave, and this will calm down after a while.

Know that grief is a lifetime process and journey

Your grief does not simply end. There is no miraculous ending to your grief and there should not be an expectation that you will no longer grieve. Grieving endures throughout a lifetime and you will think, if I would have, I should have.

Celebrate their life and enjoy the memories

Celebrate their life. It is okay to celebrate them, keeping their memory alive like perhaps on a favorite holiday, every year celebrate by doing an activity your child would’ve enjoyed.

Remember that it is okay to laugh and enjoy the memories you have of them.

Know that you are not alone

There will be many people around until after the funeral. It can be as if a massive amount of people just disappear, yet there will be some that hang around. Know that you are not alone, when friends offer to help, allow them, as this is often the only way they know how to support you.

Locate the resources you need

When you are ready, locate the resources you need, not what others think you need.

At Love & Integrity Funeral Cremation services, you are more than just having a funeral, all of our families know they can reach our funeral director, 24 hours often by her personal cell often just for a listening ear.

If you have ever endured the loss of a child if we served you or not, we love you with Love & Integrity. You are not alone!
