Cody Buffham, Age 53, passed away suddenly on March 15, 2025, at home. He was born on August 18, 1971, in Montrose, CO, to Les Buffham and Phyllis Buffham. Cody graduated from Saugus High School in California. He was preceded in death by his parents, Les and Phyllis Buffham.
He is survived by his loving wife, Ilene; his son, Skyler; step-sons, Sean and Michael; and son-in-law, Daryl. He is also survived by his favorite brother, Brandt, and favorite sister, Raquel, as well as many nephews, nieces, cousins, close friends, extended family, and his best friend, Danny Ellis.
Cody was a devoted father to his son, Skyler, and step-sons, Sean and Michael, being the only father figure they ever had in their lives. He was incredibly proud of his son, Skyler, for achieving the rank of Life Scout. Cody loved helping Skyler sell popcorn for Scouts and was an active leader for Troop 212, always participating in scout activities and events.
An avid reader, Cody was a huge fan of Stephen King and had an extensive collection of his books, adding a new one nearly every year. He also had a passion for horseback riding and cherished his horse, El-Tosco. As a child, he participated in endurance rides with him.
Cody enjoyed spending time outdoors, whether working in the yard with his puppy, Walker, planting flowers, or camping with his family and on scouting trips. His love for nature and adventure was evident in everything he did.
Cody will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
A memorial service to honor Cody’s life will be held on June 8, 2025, at 4:00 PM at Cook Mansion in Townsend, MT.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to plant a tree in his memory.
