Cody Ryan Arsenault, obituary
SPRUCE HEAD — With heavy hearts, we announce the untimely passing of our beloved Cody Ryan Arsenault, who left this world too soon on January 16, 2025, at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, following a tragic car accident. His parents honored Cody’s wish to give the gift of life through organ donation — a testament to Cody’s nurturing spirit and desire to help others. Cody was born on June 14, 1993, in Bath, Maine, to parents John and Heidi (Sukeforth) Arsenault.
A graduate of Georges Valley High School in 2011, Cody was known for his unforgettable smile that could light up any room. He was not only a skilled artist but also a genuine music lover and sharp dresser, always expressing himself with flair. Cody’s ability to joke and make those around him laugh was a gift he shared tirelessly with all his family and friends.
He is predeceased by dear family members, including his cousin Tony Creamer, uncle Bob Soper, and grandparents John and Janice Arsenault, as well as great-grandparents Margaret (Nanny) Ward, Dora and Glenwood Sukeforth and godmother Squee. Cody will also be reunited with his best friend Lianne Schwalm, and cherished furry family members, Stella the dog and Kingston the ferret.
Cody was a cherished son, brother, and uncle, and he adored every moment spent with his family. He leaves behind his partner, Shawn Tyler Chilles, and his proud parents, John and Heidi Arsenault. He is survived by his siblings Nicole Bedard and her husband Vann, Eric Arsenault and his wife Jillian, Phillip Arsenault and his wife Ashley, and Daniel Arsenault and his wife Brittany, along with his beloved nephew Wilder and nieces Ali, Skylar, Anna, Oria, Raelynn and Nylah.
He is also survived by steadfast relatives, including his maternal grandparents, Phillp and Sandra Sukeforth; his aunts Heather “Buddy” Chadwick and her husband Jon, Angela Creamer and her husband Robert, Stephanie Cordle and her husband Dale, Johnna Scott and her husband Brian, and Holly Bryant and her husband David; godfather Robert Morris, as well as cousins Kelsey, Brandon, Channing, Brian, Michael, Jeremy, Josh, Shawna, Natasha, Danica, David, and Emylee. Cody will be deeply missed by his animal companions and the memories he created with them.
In celebration of Cody's vibrant life, we invite everyone who loved him to gather for a time of visitation on Saturday, January 25, 2025, from 1-2 p.m., with a memorial service beginning at 2 p.m., at Hall Funeral Home, 949 Main Street, Waldoboro. A reception will be held immediately following the service at the First Baptist Church of Waldoboro, 71 Grace Avenue, Waldoboro and will be held until 5:30 p.m. Let us come together to honor his memory, recount the laughter he brought into our lives, and reflect on the profound impact he had on all our hearts.
We express profound gratitude to cousin Natasha Wallace, Auntie Angela Creamer, Auntie (Buddy) Heather Chadwick, and Heidi Timmermann, who provided catering, and to Beth Dore, for her singing.
